I’m in Paris and I Flippin’ luuurrve it / MOTHEROFSODWEE video…

Yes, I really can’t get enough of it. It’s deep down me. This love for a city. This love for your hometown. As stupid as it may sound. I feel extremely fortunate to be able to say I’m from Paris, France. And coming back to it every so often makes it even more special. With [...]

Barbie BOOTCAMP

It comes round every 10 months. It’s a right pain for your brain. But pain that is necessary if you want to earn money. Because without, well, you’re screwed.

Before I go anywhere else with what a recurrent training in Safety & Emergency Procedures (SEP) is actually about, I must give credit to Heather Poole for [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #75 / Daft Diana – Massive Fear – Justice – Sharon Jones

You spin me right round with all your requests people ! I’ve been on the look out for killer mashups lately and I think I have found some pretty cool material for your bored ears. I know that it has been a while since I uploaded some stuff too, please forgive me. Today’s line up [...]

I looooooooooooove my job!

90% of the world think we get paid “big” bucks to piss people off. 90% of the time, air travellers will have misconceptions about our job description. And usually, they’re absolutely wrong. Take the Bombay I did today. 90% percent of the passengers I welcomed onboard today had grim faces due certainly to the lack [...]

What went down in Paname (slang for Paris) + VIDEO

I apologize for the lateness of this post but priorities remain priorities and things will never change : ie, blogging about me getting lost in a random part of Dubai seemed much more entertaining than my Parisian hols…Anyway… I came back from Paris, France from my little 8 day break just over a week ago [...]

In Paaaareeeeee for 8 days

Hey peeps. I’ve safely landed in Paris after some crosswinds made the approach into CDG a little more challenging for our Flight Crew. We landed with a beautiful sunset, clear skies and just the perfect spring time here. The flight over was real nice although I must say I forgot how long an hour could [...]

It’s called the church of Hot Addiction

[UPDATE] : We have added a “videos” page where you can browse through all the videos I’ve uploaded so far. Thanks to the awesome widget the very savvy kids over at VIMEO came up with ! Previews are also available on the front page.

I have been waiting for a kick ass tune to pop up [...]

Holy Crap. I woke up before midday !!

Jeee wiiiiizzz thought this would never happen again… ever ! I’m sleep deprived and forced myself self outta bed this morning at 11.30 am. Note that the night before I came back from my Paris trip at 1 in the morning and went straight to Zinc, cause I missed the place believe it or not [...]

Where should I go for my holidays ??

It’s been a long time coming. I am eagerly waiting for some real time off. Time I can think about ME ME ME ! I have some ideas but it’s still a draft. And lacking some good destination ideas. Maybe you could help me sketch a nice getaway. My leave starts on the 1st of [...]

Airboy does Lagos, Nigeria

I’m currently nursing my pot noodles and I’m about to dig in the curry goodness. But while the water boils I thought I’d take it to the blog and write about what went down in Lagos, Nigeria. As you may know from the few previous posts, this destination within the Emirates network is unique in [...]

Random moments caught on camera / Soiree Raclette

I have a lot of meaningless videos on hand. I heart nonsense. This is why I mixed some of them in this little clip. Most of the dialogues are in French. Shot in various places with various people. I just came back from a Soiree Raclette in 21st Century Tower where the french contingent lives. [...]

A sound system is a make or break !

Yesterday in Dubai was amazing. Sun was out (like today), people were out, temperatures are gradually going upwards. For many weeks I had been getting up at night and basically living like an howl. A Bombay turnaround later, I’m now in sync with the real world that surrounds me. I get up early, enjoy the [...]

Retro. Old pictures come back to life !

Like I said in my last post, I decided to smuggle some old pictures from Paris to Dubai because Kalil just got a new printer-scanner and having them transfered from paper to digital is way cooler. Now I can share stuff from the past… After installing a truck load of apps to run the beast [...]

Gimme Juicy Beef ! Pictured description of the french population

I left Paris today. Spent another fortune on cabs for the airport. And I’m now sat in 49 Echo. The middle seat. Meaning you have to be very polite to your neighbouring passengers. No farts, no elbow fights, no eating like a pig, get out of the seat when your neighbour goes for a pee [...]

I can feel it coming in the air tonight.

Before you carry on reading, please immerse yourself with the track that played non-stop all along my Paris By Night trek :

Phil Collins – In The Air Tonight
With not much happening on a Sunday night in Paris, I decided to share my Paris By Night experience. I ventured out in the cold wearing no less [...]
