Some news

Wow! It's been a while since I didn't post anything here...

I really have to write several entries.

To begin with, I have to describe my fantastic 4 months in Frankfurt, as an Erasmus student. Then I have to talk about my decision to actually stay in Frankfurt, continuing my studies here, yes!

And also, I have to tell you about my new internship, I'm working here in Luxembourg (my home) as an intern in music moderation and artist's contact at Jamendo.

Well, that's pretty it! So, wait and see.. new articles are coming!

Been travelling


Hey guys !
I've been busy as always.

Two weeks ago I spent the week-end in Paris with some friends, and last week-end I visited Hambourg. It was a trip organized by my school.

Hambourg is far more beautiful than Frankfurt!!!

The weather was great, the sun was shining, I could tan hehe.

Well now back to rainy Frankfurt, busy with lots of work for uni... It's my last month of school... Time flies!

News from Frankfurt Am Main

Hi there!

I'm busy as always... I've just finished my chinese classes, which took place every Saturday mornings. But now, instead, I have other courses on Saturday... Will I ever experience a normal week-end again ?

Last Saturday, I had my first german presentation, which counts for a lot because there are no exams in this subject. I talked about Web 2.0 in a company's environnement regarding learning theories, E-Learning and Learning Communities.
Manye german people told me it was good, so I take that as a compliment coming from Germans haha. The only thing is that I was quite stressed so I forgot points and talked fast and apparently in a too low voice...

Other that, what have I been doing in Frankfurt ? Well, last Saturday (April 25th) was the Museum's Night, so I could visit many museums. The thing is, they were all crowded so you couldn't really "enjoy" what you visited. It was more like a 'marathon' of museums ! Museums of cinema and the one of Communication were interesting.

And last Thursday, David Guetta (one of the most famous french DJs) came to Frankfurt ! He mixed in one of the most famous clubs here, Cocoon. Of course, my french friends and me were there.

We had a good sight of him and were dancing like crazy on his music.
He of course played his latest song, "When love takes over". Check out my videos of that night!

My new life in Frankfurt

I've been in Frankfurt for 3 weeks now, and I'm slowly adjusting and enjoying my life here.

The first 2 weeks, I had no Internet at home... so I was kinda spending my whole time studying and reading german. Well, yeah, nothing to do right !

I have two classes in German, at first I couldn't understand everything, but as I get more classes, the more I understand.

The rest is in English, no problem.

I'm also learning chinese, which is easier than what I'd thought. Shanghai helped I guess.

Sometimes I get mixed up with all those languages, because I also get to speak spanish with my fellow spanish friends...

Actually it's great, I guess I'm kinda a language "geek", if that ever exists...

I'm also learning filipino by myself.

Frankfurt School is great, but there are some bad points.

Weather. And food.

It's been cold and grey and raining !

And there are too many potatoes !!!

Hahaha.

Manhattan

Frankfurt School of Finance and Management

Here I am, as an exchange student, at Frankfurt School of Finance and Management. Thanks to my school in France (Inseec Bordeaux), I am now an Erasmus student for one semester! I am in a Bachelor’s degree in “International Economics and Management”.
All my courses are taught in English and some in German. It is a truly and completely cultural and linguistic experience that I am living every day. My classmates are Russian, Italian, german and French. I come to speak up to 4 languages a day, when meeting some Spanish Erasmus students for example.

The school is very modern and is well-equipped. A serious atmosphere reigns here. I hope I will enjoy my time in Germany!

NY

Ok, I might have slightly exaggerated in my previous post talking about New York... It was great, really. I think the cold just got me, but hey, what do you expect, it's winter stupid!

I've watched a Broadway musical "Guys and Dolls" and it was just brilliant -awesome- !
I've walked on 5th Avenue and was amazed by all the luxury shops present there.
I've walked in Central Park, but here, found really nothing special, except maybe seeing squirrels, but even.
I've eaten in a cheap and delicious Vietnamese restaurant, thanks again to my friend Michelle!
I've bought more than a dozen postcards and it ruined me.
I've visited the Guggenheim Museum and would have liked to stayed longer.
I've seen the Statue of Liberty from afar only.
I've walked and got lost in the financial district.
I've visited Ground Zero Foundation and took a tour with a guide, whom husband died on 9/11.
I've listenned to her story and got sad.
I've taken the subway and found it old and outdated.
I heard the police alarm in the streets and felt like I was in a series.
I've walked all the stories of Macy's but don't think it is the biggest store of the world.
I've shot the Rockfeller Tower and the Empire State Building.
I've taken the plane back home, in business class, thanks to a big brother working in AirFrance.

New York, New York

New York is big, huge, awesome, cold, windy, enormous, delightful, exciting.

New York is famous for the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Empire State Building, Macy's, and so on.

New York, is, just New York.

Disappointing.

I expected more.

News


I've just came back from a 5-day visit trip in New York. Check out some pictures here.
