1 Week more or less

Hello Hello, ça fait un baille!

Voila on y est... premier point de la situation! It's been now a week that I am trying to become a "Kievois" and it's been a real delightment until now. In a country that has a sad past and a bright future, the whole thing is a true paradox... Kids playing on a heavy sovietic tank in front of the Rodina Mat (Monument celebrating the russo-ukrainian everlasting friendship), which in turn stands above the museum dedicated to patriotic suffering...



Please, Do Believe signs asking you to watch your feet when you step out of the escalator... Gives a little grungy style!

Relaxing time @ the beach. Fashion Tv which hangs on every restaurants and bars' walls. I guess it is a brainwashing strategy, and it obviously works...;) Your are Fashion Tv! As Adam Freeland (great DJ btw!) properly said "You are free to do as we tell you, We want your Soul." And ultimately, My best friend here, j ai nommé ma playboy mansion....trrrr trrrr trrr: The Sauna!!!!It seems to be more important here to have a sauna @ home than a fridge...




And finally, let me introduce you to my team: Ladies first, Anne Sophie, charming and bright blonde venitienne. Alexander or Sacha here, funky and sensitive reporter. The rest lies in the relationship we created through or worky-party-friendly living experience, which is not very different from Maastricht with da boys. I basically joined a small and functional team that has set up an actual office and company within 3.5 months. We try to adopt a rythm that maximizes our quality of working and our time of leisure! And leisure there is!


That 's it for tonight Girls and Boys! Big up to my family that i love very much;) Don't forget to visit "Out of Brussels" to follow Paoluxch em Do Australia, Ced au Nigeria, TonyTawain and many others... If you wanna reach me MZZZZN or Skype, +380974713135! Comments are welcome...

Catch Ahmet Polat, if you can…

Image
With his prophet-like style, Ahmet Polat is on a quest for identity, dialogue and stories. At merely 30 years old, Polat has exposed his work in more than twenty exhibitions since 1999, at galleries including Stroom (The Hague), RAM (Rotterdam), the Photo Museum (The Hague), Karsi Sanat (Istanbul), and the most prestigious Turkish art venue, The Istanbul Modern. In 2006, the International Centre of Photography (ICP), the world’s leading photography foundation, has for the first time awarded Turkish photographer Ahmet Polat as “The World’s Best Young Photographer Award”. Polat, by wining the award, showed that he could stand proud in the international arena, along side veteran photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Thomas Rose, and Jeff Krueger. Son of a forcefully adaptive Turkish lorry-driver, Ahmet Polat’s extraordinary realization has naturally placed him as the new Turkish photography torchbearer. “I wasn’t going for it” he commented when we started recording, but still got succ

Thoughtfull moment

The time has come for this blog to host my thoughts and impressions on a culture, which surrounds me every day here in Algeria, namely Islam. To me, Algeria is a very puzzling place because it represents greatly the edge between certain radicalism and a progressism that has emerged after the end of the terror period, in 1997. There are many signs of a relative opening towards a more occidental culture since president Bouteflika, who leads this country with an iron glove, has come into power. The « new » Algerian generation like many developing countries, faces a very trivial choice ahead: Either they pack up and immigrate to neighbouring Spain or France for a « better » future, or remain in Algeria and create a middle class that is desperately lacking. A friend of mine told me how easy it was to literally climb on a boat, bribe a couple of officials and travel to Marseille, join relatives or friends for a Pastis on the Canebière. On the other hand, Algeria experiences a great economic

Lynchpin of Middle Eastern politics

Hi eveyone, t's been a while... Find below a very interesting piece of article (written by Paola Caridi www.lettera22.it form the independent journalist association) to give you a better insight on the extremely complex situation in the middle east, and the difficult and strategic relationship with the US. I added a couple of pictures of the recent trips to relax your eyes and (hopefully) make you jealous...hehe Nation of strategic importance. Element of regional stability. In the view of American foreign policy for the Middle East and North Africa over the last thirty years, Egypt has merited mostly flattering comments on the regional role it has played. And all things considered, the compliments have reflected what Egypt has really meant to the USA’s political strategies towards the Middle East, the Arab nations, and the whole region. Including Iran. If only because, in that part of the world, the alliance with Egypt has been the most important and most unexpected diplomatic succ
