I went to « la Plaine des Palmistes » on the 31st of December and that is where I met him. There is nothing better than a good palm salad to end the year, we went to the Payet estate in “la plaine des palmistes” to get some palms. Mr Payet greeted us and showed us where he spends most of his time, the area where the palm trees are growing is so big that roughly 4 tons of edible palm hearts

Now that I have less work I took the time to go to « le Piton des Neiges ».We left Cilaos on Thursday and got some rain as soon as we started walking. The hike to “le Piton des Neiges” can be done in two different ways: you can walk roughly 5 hours with an elevation of 1700 meters, you can walk roughly 3 hours with an elevation of 1100 meters, spend the night in some sort of cottage and start

Reunion Island is great but life is different when nothing is going right at work.My work is fairly simple, I have to setup different types of machines and have them talk to each other. The reality is of course quite complex and you really see it when those nice machines decide not to do what they are supposed to. I came back to Reunion Island to increase the capacity and the features of the

I went for a bike ride a few days ago that I will never forget it.We left at 7 in the morning to get to “la route du volcan”. Once on the road, we left the car halfway to our destination and started riding the bikes. The weather was nice, the top of “le piton des neiges” was not yet covered with clouds, I was wearing an extra jacket because it was cold. The bike ride started with an easy pace, I

Imagine you are watching the circus show PFFFFFFF from the company Akoreacro. The soundtrack of the show is mostly Eastern European jazz but all of a sudden two of the artists on stage do this. I have seen this show last friday and i liked it so much that i would have seen it a second time this week if it wasn't sold out, i recommend it.

I rarely am in contact with law enforcement agents except customs agents when I travel but when it happens it is always memorable.I was driving from work on my scooter last Wednesday near Cap La Houssaye when two police officers waved me to the side of the road. One of them approached when my scooter was stopped and said “what do you give me?”. It seems that in his mind it was mandatory for me to

There is nothing like a good dive to set your mind straight.I went scuba last Saturday in the morning at « la Passe de l’Ermitage », it is a great diving spot where you can often see turtles. My last dive was four months old so I was anxious to dive again as soon as I got back to Reunion Island but a lot of them have been cancelled because of the swell of the sea. Most nautical activities have

There is a shark scare in Reunion Island these days and it doesn’t look like it will stop.People are scared in La Reunion, sharks have attacked for the fourth time this year. Shark attacks are not new to the island but it is the first time that they occur over such a short time period. Moreover they are localized in the hyper touristic area that is the western part on the island where no shark

When you travel to a country you have already been in, there are always things you expect and some you don’t.Getting out of the airport was a real nightmare the last time I travelled to the country. We walked from the airport to the terminal and were greeted in front of it by a horde of shouting guys asking to see our passport and our vaccination book. No one would be permitted inside the

It is always an adventure to take the plane, the airport is a place where you will live as many great moments as unpleasant ones and most of all you will meet a lot of different people.I went to the terminal 2C of the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport to catch my flight to Kinshasa. This terminal is a special place for me because this is where you will take flights to go to Africa, so this place is

A few days ago I went to spend the day in Liverpool home of the Beatles and I was not disappointed.Liverpool is only 3 hours from the Isle of Man with the ferry. I was quite shocked when I got into the ferry because it was packed. I don’t know why but I expected the boat to be almost empty, I guess most people use the ferry because it is the cheapest way to reach the mainland. As the boat was

The Manx Grand Prix will soon be held on the Isle of Man, it will bring a little bit of action on this quiet island. The Grand Prix is held during 2 weeks, the first week dedicated for practice and the second week is for all the races. As the Isle of Man has no speedway, the races take place on the main roads. Those are closed from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M. during the first week for practice sessions.

It happens just look at the picture below. I went to visit Castletown Saturday and I took the steam train to make the trip more memorable, it goes from Douglas to the south of the island. The train is well preserved, the coaches are all made of wood and you get the feeling that you are back in the golden age of railway. The train will give you the opportunity to admire the great landscapes of

I don’t know if you are aware but riots are taking place on a daily basis in the United Kingdom. The spark is quite similar to what started the riots in France: a young boy was shot dead by the police.

One can not be in this part of the world and not go to the pub, it would be like not going to buy a baguette when in Paris or not buying food from a street vendor in Bangkok.

As soon as we entered the pub, each one of us was asked to give 20£, it would be part of

I dropped my stuff once I got to the hotel and went for a walk to get some fresh air. The city looked like there was a curfew, there was almost no one outside. I only found closed doors when I went to buy a

One great thing about scuba diving is that no two dives are alike. Last week-end I had a good reminder that scuba diving can also be an extreme sport.The scuba diving clubs that are based on “Petite Terre” or around Mamoudzou make most of their dives in “La Passe En S”, it is indeed a great place to dive but one needs a change of scenery from time to time. The north and the south of “Grande Terre

There are many ways to visit La Reunion. The simplest and fastest way is with a car, you can also fly and enjoy a unique viewpoint on the island. Hiking is the most popular way because you will get the viewpoint as well as access to the less known areas of the island.

Two weeks ago my work laptop decided to crash. It was not the first time something like this happened to me and i am quite prepared to it but this time the laptop shutdown around midnight just before the start of my work.I got to the office on Monday night around 11 PM, I switched on my laptop and went to check that there was no issue in the network. No night operation is allowed if there is an

I just have too much work. I spend so much time in front of a computer that the last thing I want to do once I get back to the hotel is stand in front of a laptop to write about my life here. Each time I think I will have more time, I get even more work. So I hope I will soon be able to write about the stuff I have seen and been doing the last few weeks in a week or so because I have a lot to

The Herbaliser is one of my favorite band, they are able to produce jazz, trip-hop, hip-hop or acid jazz tracks. I couldn't decide so i uploaded two songs: The Herbaliser - Moon Sequence & The Herbaliser - Starlight Feat Roots Manuva. The video in the complete post is a full concert that was shot in Paris in 2009.

When you are in La Reunion, you must to have a backup plan for your week-end activities. The weather is changing quickly and your week-end hike may be cancelled on Friday just because the weather became stormy during the night. The plan was to go for a two-day hike with some friends in Mafate starting from «Le Cirque de Cilaos”. When it is raining a lot on the island, the clouds tend to stick

I am back in La Reunion after a month long holyday, I tried to limit the time I spent on the internet as much as possible but it was not easy, some things become a habit quickly. I would have loved to stay away from internet during that time but it was not possible, I will write why later when I have more time, I have so much work the days end quickly.I have seen the two chickens in the picture

I had planed to go scuba diving on the afternoon of the airplane flight above Mayotte. Medically speaking, there is nothing preventing you from going scuba diving right after stepping out of an airplane but even so that dive was a huge mistake!BarracudasMy head was still full of what I had seen in the plane in the morning when I jumped in the water with an air tank on my back and a regulator in

Last week-end I went to a small town on the south-western part of the bigger island of Mayotte called Boueni. As I live on the smaller island of Mayotte, this trip gave me the opportunity to see the difference between the two islands.A few minutes after exiting Mamoudzou and the cities filled with poor people that are the suburbs you get to see some nature. The smaller island is not as green as

I am now in Mayotte! I have been here for almost a month now and it is a real change compared to La Reunion because Mayotte is like Africa.It doesn't look like it when you step out of the plane but Mayotte is a part of France and it will soon become the latest French county. I soon got the same feeling I used to have when I was spending my holidays in Africa. Everybody is staying and living

Two weeks ago my wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary. I had booked a night at a place called Village Nature, it is a hotel lost in nature that has a spa.We got to the place in the afternoon, we really liked the fact that the bungalows were sitting in a small forest and were linked to one another by a wooden footbridge. The inside of the bungalow was all wood, it really gave a cosy nest

It is always when you really need something that you find out if the place you are staying has what you it takes.My wife woke up with the flu last Sunday, she had a fever and a sour throat. I immediately went into the city to look for the pharmacy open in case of emergency. No open one could be found, the phone numbers of doctors were printed in front of each pharmacy I passed by but the numbers

Do you want to know the best way to start the year? You book a table for New Years Eve in a restaurant on the beach with a DJ. It costs you plenty for a diner you could have cooked home. You don’t complain because the music is great and the champagne is not too bad. Then comes 3 in the morning when your belly tells you that you have to go urgently! Luckily the place has real restrooms so you don

Last Friday I went to try and salsa dance, I say try because I royally suck at it and I never remember the steps. I don’t mind, I usually spend most of the evening listening to the music and watching those who can actually dance well.This time was no exception, I spent most of the evening talking to people and looking at the experienced couples dancing. When the salsa dancers started deserting

I was driving my scooter yesterday morning on my way to work around 6 AM when I witnessed the amazing view you can see below. For 5 full minutes I stopped regretting being up so early in the morning, I then hopped back on my scooter to go to work... As I am on an island I can’t help thinking of the TV Show lost when I look at this shot.

Here is how my work days usually go lately.Gobies De FeuThe alarm rings at 7:45 AM but I have been awake for roughly one hour and I have tried every position possible in the bed to go back to sleep.

Music should be free! Kanye West launched a music program called G.O.O.D. Fridays (G.O.O.D. Music is the name of his label) that releases a new song every Friday. Here is my favorite song of them all: Kanye West - Lord Lord Lord Feat Mos Def, Swizz Beatz, Raekwon & Charlie Wilson.

This week-end I watched a UFO called Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. The following video was the intro of the movie and I just couldn’t help giggling in my sofa while watching it.For those who have no clue what I am talking about, this video is made in the 8-bit style of the video game console of my youth.

I am in La Reunion for the fourth time this year and I will enjoy the summer season on the island. My stay started very well: I had to work on the night of my arrival from 11PM to 11AM; this is what I call a welcome.

New-York is one of my favorite cities.

This video introduces the animated movie and video game Azureus Rising, the quality of the CGI gives a good idea of what is to come, lets just hope that the story will be of the same caliber.

This week-end I was at a party where i heard this song that I like so much: Terence Trent D'Arby - Wishing Well.

Once we were back at the centre I was told that the weather wouldn’t improve and I wouldn’t be able to dive on the Sunday. If I really wanted to dive they were offering to dive in the afternoon but it would be at the same spot we had been in the morning. I wanted to dive in the Blue Hole, around the Azure Window or in Xlendi but It would be for another time. The drive back to Xlendi was much

Sometimes you feel like you just ended up in another dimension. You just need to add a few events which have no meaning by themselves but that paint a strange picture once put together.We went to Gozo for the week-end, my wife had booked an hotel in Xlendi and found a diving centre for me to go scuba diving Saturday and Sunday morning. A few hours before leaving I called the centre to get the

This week-end you could go to the Birgu Fest, the event was taking place during 3 days in Vittoriosa (Birgu in Maltese). We went there on Saturday evening to see what was happening.The little town of Birgu tried to attain the Guinness Book of Record for having the city lit with a huge number of candles. The candles would lit the city as the sun set. Located in front of Valletta, Birgu is a small

I went scuba diving this Sunday in Malta waters and I can tell you it wasn’t that easy.I found a diving centre at a walking distance from my hotel. Up until now I have always been scuba diving in French speaking countries, the equipment size is always the same but that was not the case this time. I had to adapt to what was available, It is important because the quality of the dive also depends on

It is my first time in Malta and i am very happy about it. I like those places that smell of old stones and sun. It looks that I will have a lot of work here but thankfully the week ends are there to go visit.My stay started well as I woke up Wednesday morning with more than 75 bites on the arms and the torso (my wife counted each of them). I concluded right away that the bites where from the

It took us three trips to La Reunion to go to "le Piton de la Fournaise". It is no wonder that the volcano is the first touristic place on the island, the area is truly amazing.You have to know that one has to deserve the volcano, we woke up at 4:30 AM to meet some friends and get there as soon as possible. If you don’t like waking up early it is ok too, it is not mandatory to be up at the same
