Welcome to Paris Clem!

Oh yeah! Welcome back into my world, after Finland, Montana, I give you Paris! The glamorous city of lights, fashion, monuments, culture and the political center of France, a country many dislikes because its people is so weirdly different in their head. Still Paris is the most popular holiday destination in the world. Why? Well if you forget about its citizens, for a big city it has a lot of charm. Let me be straight, this blog won't be spending time on frenchy French "we're the best" kind of stuff. I just want to speak about things I've seen from time to time. Show some pictures of some places I like, even some friends (who knows!) and try to have you guys spend a good time reading my crap!

I have arrived a month ago in there. I'm happy to see my good old friends, we've been partying a lot! Unfortunately Cyril just left for Tokyo, but he's giving a lot of news and funny stories about Japan. He just opened a blog : http://youpijapon.mi-blog.net/ It's in French, but I guess if enough persons complain he could do something about this ;)
These days I've been mostly working. I'm under contract with the company I was working for in the USA, RightNow Technologies. After spending some good time with them there, I offered my help to finish the project I was working on so we can continue the experience. I'm glad it's happening, first I have the feeling of completing something and of having a professional behavior/ethics. It's kinda hard to get used to distance working, but that shouldn't take too long.
I'm also looking for an apartment in Paris, my friends have had the enormous generosity to host me so far, but I don't want to abuse their hospitality, so it's getting more and more urgent to find a place. I have a few problems that prevent me from finding a place easily. But well I keep hoping!

Thanks for reading Paris Clem, not too fancy, not too smelly either (I hope).
