China in numbers - La Chine en chiffres

"When the great China will wake up, the whole world will quiver" These words uttered by Mao Zedong have never been so true. It is no doubt today that China is wide awake and that world powers are quivering. This is happening Chinese style: discreetly,...

Welcome to 2007

So here we are in 2007. The year has barely started and we're already full of projects. 2006 was a pretty good year for us: quite a lot of travels - which is what we love - we're well settled in Congo and enjoy our work here. Our blog has definitely taken...

Rita's new year resolutions

Live the life of your dreams! Fix yourself objectives or life goals. I know it seems like work but sometimes WE are our worst piece of work and need to think a bit more about our lives, be conscious of our acts, take meaningful decisions, BECOME the change...

Suuuuuuuuuuuupercell !!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's not much ads on this blog. I guess it's time to do something about it. Yesterday was the worldcup first semi final. To be honest, we don't care much who wins. Just another occasion to spend some time together (and there's not much things to do...

Newmarket and K road

This city is so spread… There are so many neighborhoods to explore but there isn’t enough time. We focus on Newmarket and K road, sampling vintage shops and art galleries. Some pieces of art we find outrageously expensive. Jeremie desperately looks for...

BIRD FLU PANDEMIC

It's coming. After Asia, it's now in Europe and Africa. Don't underestimate it. If widely transmitted to humans, this pandemic will have tremendous - deadly - repercussions. Here is a first read to get prepared. Very general, but give some useful advices:...

Kigali-Gisenyi

Kigali-Gisenyi
Some of the scenery along the way. Close to Ruhengeri, we got great views over the plains and hills around. As one approaches to Gisenyi, tea fields abound. We can see Nyaragongo volcano in the Virunga National Park as we reach Gisenyi.
