Let's start......

It's been over a month that I want to create a blog and everyday I change my mind. I wake up in the morning thinking: " Tonight I'll do it". Comes the evening and I am not sure anymore why I want to do it and find every excuse I can why I shouldn't do it.

So it seems like I found enough courage to do it.

Like the title reads I am French but unlike it reads I am not angry. At least not all the time. No, in fact I am kind of a happy guy until someone steps on my toes. I am pretty straight forward and not really diplomatic. Very French in fact. Yes with the cigarette.
I have been living in L.A for 12 years now I moved here from Hong-Kong where I lived for 5 years.

I like living in Los Angeles it's the Angeleno's I have issues with. Not all of them of course. I don't like to generalize. Angeleno's are so rude lately and I do my best to be understanding and to adapt myself as much as I can but sometime too much is too much especially that clueless woman ( I've been polite here ) in the left lane on the 5 freeway driving at 55 MPH blocking everybody behind her: a double coffee Mocha with extra whip cream in one hand and texting with the other one, her skirt pulled up to enable her to spread her legs to hold the wheel with her knees.

It's always interesting to move to a new city especially in a new country. I expected Americans to be like French. Well let me tell you that this is not the case. What was I thinking?
It's fascinating to discover a new culture with different behaviors. With differences like holding silverware, cutting cheeses, when the salad is served at dinner and so many more.

I want to share my point of view of this fascinating city that is Los Angeles with I hope humor. After living for a while in a city I keep going to the same places. So this will help me getting up from my couch and explore.
I'll talk about food, music, fashion, art and whatever I want.....
I hope it will be as fun for you to read as it is going to be for me to write.

One more thing because I am French I might make some mistakes, please be forgiving and feel free to point them out I always want to learn and to perfect my English.
