The imperial palace and the Tokyo Tower
We planned to go and see the imperial palace on the third day. Again, it can be observed that Tokyo is a city full of never-ending gigantic parks. The imperial palace forms a part of it. We walked a great deal and we only saw a minuscule part of it in the end. There...

Art in Norway... Erotic in Spain?

NYC: The city that Never Sleeps
I went to New York city last year. I also missed Seville's famous April fair for this trip but it was worth it. I would do it again for many years more. New York is a city that you can't see in a week and if you want to enjoy it to the maximum, not even in ten days....

Qu'est-ce qu'il a dit?
Today in an interpretation class (or oral translation as it is called here), I had a fantastic idea for an entry and as you already know, it is best to grasp up good ideas with all force and develop them. So here goes... When I arrived in France, I really missed having...
