Bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

10 days without news... I know it's long!! Actually I was confronted at a huge dilemma... I had 2 choices: lie to you or stop writing in order to not break all your dreams about Sydney... the automn is here now and with it the cold weather... Temperatures drop down and since 3 days, I switch on the heater in my room...
No other solution to keep the audience ratings to migrate to the north... direction Fraser Island!! 6 days of road trip in a all furnished left-hand drive campervan! sound great!!
I will tell you everythink when i'll be back!!

Ps: I also fing a job! I'm a nanny for 3 australian kids!

Jaws...

I already talk to you about Bondi Rescue and the shark attack last month, the episode just come out on TV!! and now on this blog with all details!!enjoy!

Ps: Vous also can see Marta on the beach ( a friend of Tiago who spent 1 month at home... and who is tanning on the beach ) on the 1mn 20s!!

Into the wild!

Saturday, I went to the meeting with my sporty part not enough used... I slip on my converses (no mum! I haven't yet bought my running snickers... what!?! Yes I've plan to start to run... but not yet... it's the suspense...), and took my direct train to Blue Montains!!
2 hours later, here we are Anne, Marie and I in the middle of the national parc facing the 3 sisters! sculpting by erosion, this pics are on the top of a cliff who are dominate the parc, and the legend says these beautiful young ladies had fallen in love with three brothers from the Nepean tribe, yet tribal law forbade them to marry. The brothers were not happy to accept this law and so decided to use force to capture the three sisters causing a major tribal battle.As the lives of the three sisters were seriously in danger, a witchdoctor from the Katoomba tribe took it upon himself to turn the three sisters into stone to protect them from any harm. While he had intended to reverse the spell when the battle was over, the witchdoctor himself was killed. As only he could reverse the spell to return the ladies to their former beauty, the sisters remain in their magnificent rock formation as a reminder of this battle for generations to come.
A day spending to walk around and to go down at the canyon bottom by 800 stairs dig direct in the roc in the middle of eucalyptus forest, where come from the blue mountains name. The threes reject essenciels oil in the air which in evaporating form this bleu steam!
In brief it was a sporty and intense Saturday, you understand now why I heva spent 4 days to post it... stiffs fault of course...

Ps: more pict in the slide bar ou on facebook ;)

Those who are amazing!!

No it's nothing about a new episode of "friends", actually yes, a bit maybe...
Today I'm not going to talk about Sydney, neither NY besides but about those who are on the picture on the top and others in Switzerland, Paris, Newcastle and in the rest of the world...!
Contrary to what one might think in watching this beautiful picture: they are with taste... almost all of them at least... In brief those people dress up like mardy gras are MY friends and since 2 month, and a bit earlier too, they handle it a lottttt!! 2 months since I am in Australia and they take care of me in calling, sending emails, letters, full of postcard!! It's like I'm not so far away... I miss you guys... yes I told it!!

Here it is since my departure and my sister's, my parents are left to their own devices and I'm affraid they are going to waste away in this big house... If someone could pass through sometime to talk with my father for exemple about how is amazing to have an iphone and to tell him again how suck is his HTC!! Or to come to work on my mom voice in order I still could hear her from the 2nd floor...
Thanks by advance, I'll return the favour!!

T'as le look coco!!

The first time it was on my way back home, but today in hanging out the washing I saw them!! Just on the top of my head, chirping on the three in my backyard! 3 rainbow loriquet!! It was amazing to see them in the middle of sydney but after to google it, It's a quite commun bird in this area of Australia... It's a bit like our french pigeons more colourful and lounder... it change of spiders at least!!
It's in these moment I realise Sydney is so different of France!!

Attention lyrics in french!!!!

Loin de toi je me demande
Pourquoi ma vie ressemble
A une terre brûlée
Mais quand l'amour prend ses distances
Un seul être vous manque
Et tout est dépeuplé
Vanina rappelle-toi
Que je ne suis rien sans toi
Vanina si tu m'oublies
Je serais pour la vie
Seul au monde

Oh ! Mon... mon... mon... de
Toi, si loin de toi
Et le monde
N'existe pas
Si tu es loin de moi, loin loin loin de moi

Vanina ah ah vanina ah ah .. etc...

Vanina rappelle-toi
Que je ne suis rien sans toi
Vanina si tu m'oublies
Je serais pour la vie
Seul au monde
Mon... mon... mon... de!
Toi, si loin de toi
Et le monde
N'existe pas
Si tu es loin de moi, loin loin loin de moi

Vanina ah ah vanina ah ah .. etc...

Another ad!! or how a creative guy has jabbered on an old joke and made it better!! Anyway it made me laugh...! what about you?... and special mention for the magazine ad !! it's quite risky to sell food but it stays surprisingly classy!!
As usually, click on the pict. to watch the ad!

YES!!!

This is a personal message for my futur lover/fiancé/husband... If one day, it has to have wedding between us, I want a propose like this!!

For more probability to have a quick AND positive answer, choose peanut butter m&m's!! You know me I can't resist!!
And sweety, If you want more details clic up on the pict!

Well... don't dream over... for those who will be before you... and who will have preferred to split up with me... I have a message for them too: a break up with peanut butter m&m's and a little touch of humour can't be a bad break up... But you still need to make provision more than 5 packets...
Here are some suggestions for you, cruel lover...(yes yes I will find that funny... )
Ps: Mum it's alright! I already checked... No trans fat in ;)

FML!!

Today, to go to celebrate St Patrick day to the Harp pub, I dressed up with my beautiful dress... Hup! a last check up on the mirror before to leave... 2 tiny details were blindingly me obvious... I have normally what we called a generous bosom but right there I had a huge scoop neck... I though it was because my period and I left!
When I undressed after party, I realized I had put my dress back to front....

You agree, my life is f***ed?

Here it is, the link of website!! Click up It's hilarious if you don't know!!

So French So Chic... or Not!

On principle, I always stand up for the french values, we are and we'll stay expert for elegance, french kiss and amazing food... and Like I notice here, the marketing service use it a lot! to promote their "fake bread" and their "shitty mode"...
I have a perfect example: today I went through in front of a disc shop and I saw an ad for a CD called "so french, so chic"... After a quick research on the australian itunes, in the New released part... BAM! the CD!! I'm really asking who is in charge of to pormote french artist in foreign country.... excluding Matthieu B. who I hate him but this is personal... , Moriarty, Kaolin, Sporto Kantes and "les chansons d'amour"... The others are strangers for a french like me!!
My question is: why we just don't try first to introduce french singers who are already reconized in France?? Cali? Jeanne Cherhal? Tété? Benabar? Cocoon, The Do, Camille? la Grande Sophie? M? Vanessa Paradis? Anais? Olivia Ruiz? les Rita? Zazie? Phoenix? St Germain? Thomas Dutronc? Noir désir? Axelle Red? Vincent Delerm? Charlotte Gainsbourg?... Anyway... I stop here!
But you! who are not french who do you know like french singer?? be carreful!! Céline Dion is canadian!! ;)

In detail

Because I'm a pretty cool friend!! I add for you in the sidebare a slide show what I take when I move around the city like that you can see how looks sydney in more details!
I'm going to actualise regularly it! Funky isn't it!?!
Have a nice week!

Tip for u, reader: If you clic up on the slide show, you can see pictures bigger...

Mardi Gras...

Saturday night, after 3 weeks of festival, it was the end of the Mardi Gras parade... it's not exactly the same of our mardi gras... with crepes and cute kids... But THE Mardi Gras Gay & Lesbian of Sydney, which is the biggest gay event in the world!! to promote the tolerance and acceptation of gay communauty of course!
With more than 400 000 people with all sexual tendency, make up and dress ip, We went in streets with one goal: party, party and PARTY again!!!
OMG!! I have seen so many cheeks touch and deep kisses!! It was a crazy night!!
We went back home exausted with, regardless, a fine mess feeling...! ;)


Ps for Laure: lol!! one of parade float was playing evenu shalom alechem!!!!!! I had a thought for you!!

Nobody puts Baby in the corner....

To night I've watched Dirty Dancing on wide screen to the Bondi Openair cinema!!! Not ashamed to say I loved it!!! It was like to be at Take That concert in the 90's!! We sang, applauded, and most of time laughed!!!!!! Very nice evening with Marie and Tiago!!
Commonnn... I know, even if you will never admit, you are quite jealous now...
So I put on for you the "time of your life" link to share this fullness moment with me :)

Still in trouble

And I removed the word verification... If after all it doesn't work now... It can come from your web navigator... I use firefox and it work pretty well...

Bargain! by Rachel Givney

Last sunday, I went to the Tropfest, who is the world largest short movie festival, with all my house mates and a good part of sydney residents! It was in live from the botanic garden!!
I have finally found the link of my favorite film!!

Ps: clic up on the pict to see the movie... It's just after the Mac Do ad ;)

The food chain!

Last night, we all was a bit surprise by a very tiny spider who was walking on the living romom wall... To be totally impartial and just, we had google it, before to decide of its lot... Yes we are not so crual either... the deal is poisonous: death penalty by flushing or not dangerous: back to the garden... I need to add... do you an idea what are they feefing... You will maybe remenbered an american movie called, "Joe's appartement" who was occupeied by a singing & dancing cockroach colony... And this king of cockroach occupy Australia too... You can meet one anywhere... in your living room, in the tram, in restaurant... top! Actually It's not really the spider fault if they are "a little bigger" than normal size... They just are adapted for cockroachs size... I love evolution....

Ps: For the moment I never heard one who was humming ABBA, but as soon as it happens I keep you in touch!!

Today, the chef suggest...

........ what!?! Any problème...? Aahhhh you're not going to start to feel me guilty... It's like that to be in a foreign country, we do experiences... A australian people would test a good beef steak (no, no there are no cow in Autralia........) so I tried... for you... un tinny ( for my defense...) piece of kangourou and it was sooo good!! it's a bit like a good soft & juicy flank steak and It's quite cheap!!
A Thing is sure: skippy will be back in my plate very soon... And the first trator who call the
WSPA... I'm goog cook him too!!
Ps: Tomorrow the chef will suggest Sam, the koala.... Okkkkk I'm kidding... I'm not soo heartless either!!

Baywatch...

Sooo you already know I’m living at 10 minutes walk to Bondi beach but the thing what you don’t know in revenge, it’s also the shouting place of a TV serie like Baywatch reality show but unscripted!!
Its name: Bondi rescue!! (waouuuu sound fun right!! lol) To resume you can follow the day to day of cute lifeguard who try to save very cute surfers... YUMMMMY!
So yummy than last week, still on the same beach, they interceded with a surfer who was bitten by a big white shark who was fishing for fame...
Not a small bite... He has almost lost his hand in paddling... His hand was stuck by a bit of skin, but not connected any more.” (grosssss...)
I’m not very surprise the serie make a lot of audience with this king of rescues by top model in bikini... the 3rd season had averaging 1.31 million viewers!!
This said it’s the second shark attack in two days, no way I put a foot in the sea... even If it’s the Australian version of David Charvet who comes to rescue me...
To have a view of the show...

Huge dilemma...

After 15 days spent in Sydney with more than 10 rainning days... Two choises are obvious to me...
1- To resign myself to buy an umbrella...
or
2- To think about to stop to sing in the shower to eventually check if there are no cause and effect....

Exces de vitesse...*

I first thought I had made me hallucinate in seeing the poster on a bus... then I saw the add on tv which let no doubt!!
I was alone, in jetlag, laughting in front of the packpacker TV...
To laugh with me, clic up on the pict!!

*speeding in french

L'auberge "espagnole*"...

Which just shows! meet people is based on nothing... I met 2 danish girl in the “Wake up” (my backpacker), they was just here to catch internet and staying in an other backpacker... Need electricity for my laptop, I had to stuck me close to them to have acces to the plug and I said “sorry”... A walk-over of the house and two restaurants later... Tadaammmmmmm!! I have a crazy house!! They are a kind of my danish super heroes!!
So I live in a House at 10 min walk to the beach... no a random beach... Bondi Beach!! those, who knows where it is, knows I’m lucky... the other need to come!! We are 7 you count well!! For the moment except 2 or 3 cockroachs and a big spider it’s a quite save place to live!!
Here it is the dream team from left to right: Tiago (Portugual), Marie (Danmark), ... moi (sisi en tout petit), Colin (USA), David (Germany), Anne (Danmark) et Anne-Claire (France)!!

And finally some pictures of the house... The adresse is on the top right... If you’re around!!

Hup hup hup I've a landphone finally!!
Here it is the num. +61 (0) 293 691 923
Even skype and all and all works!!! soooo great!!

More precisions...

For thoses who asked me how I beared the scorching heat, those who was preoccupied to know If I wasn’t touch by the recent flood, or even more details about the bushfires, this message is for you!!


• Australia knows since more than 2 weeks, a heat wave never seen. But it’s in Melbourne and Adelaide area!! with a new record for february with 46,4°C in Melbourne...
• A good part of rest of the country are under the flood... Mainly in the western countries, the Queensland, and the north of the NSW especially in Bourke.
• And it’s Victoria state who is devasted by bushfiers since the 7th february, more than 200 people have died in the disaster, and without count some 1800 houses and 450 000 hectares of land which are ruined...
Some one else is still asking why I choose Sydney...?

Ps: c’est quite cute how you are concerned...

Previously in...

As I’m terribly late in my calender... Ineed to résume, cut, synthesize... Here it is a speed up version of my first week ans its imperatives:
- To sleep and have my rythm back (not so easy in a 6 beds room... with people who comeback to party at 6 a.m. and even worth to get up early without awake others... Did you have notive how much a suitcase zip is noisy...).
- To open a bank account but first step... to find the bank... especially when you’re living close to Chinatown where the english is not the main language... I was amazed to see how many chinese are living here!! we say one billion of chinese... are they include here? don’t think so... Anyway It’s quite cool ‘cause I love their foooooood!!
- To find a house.... pfffff so easy I just need to log in shareaccomodation or gumtree and that’s it!! bahhhh Actually it’s not soo easy... After the 10th calls... I’m starting to freak out... No flat with the possibbility to have my own room... I still decide to visit one just in case just have a look... and very close to the backpacker very convenient to move... A huge turk open the door, ask me to let my shoes outside, and make me the visit of the flat in talking with a deep and very slow voice... in switching on lights one by one..... scarryyyyyyyyy!!
- To send my resume&cover letters to agencies and log in all jobsearch websites...
- To decide to take, after 3 days of browsing, a real meal... just by myself... nice... but to wagamama!!
- To stop to let my computer anywhere...
- To meet my sister’s friend, anne- claire and after 5 days, since my arrival, to go to the beach!!

One thing is sure after this tiny week what I can tell you: sydney has some great potential!!! Not scarry anymore!!

Welcome to Australia!!

Here we are: 02/02/08... 2 minutes before to catch up my train and you are all here... ahhhhhh not so easy to say: I’m going to miss you and I love you so much!! So to all the people at the train station and the others who can make it: I ALREADY MISS YOU GUYS AND I LOVE YOU even from here!! I know I’m a cheezy girl... but like now it’s been told... I’m ready!!
Ready to told you all about my departure in the snow and my scorching arrival in Australia (ahhh yes it’s not canada neither USA finally for those who wouldn’t have follow... though for you, new reader, you already had a clue in the title... If it’s not wonderfull).
During my transit to Hong kong, I have been phone jacker by a 8 years old vietnamese boy.... oh my gosh... children are not anymore ingenuous.... but attention I need to make me clear... It wasn’t a kid who looks miserable... no no no! Not a chinese “Jamal Malik”!! It was one with a fresh Abercrombie jumper.... Like some people said: it’s starting well...!!
After 25 hours of stinky dinner trays and in the fabled eco class confort.... here I am in Australia!! To have a minimum of credibility throughout this blog I need to be completly honnest with you... It’s the moment where I freaked out... It took me around 2 hours to decide to get out of the airport... Told you I’m a sisi girl...But finally here I am!!
Here I come the backpacker joys, the delight moments of accomodation and job hunting!!
Welcome to sydney!!
