de retour!
Ca fait longtemps mais tout va très bien ! Je vais bientôt commencer mon nouveau boulot à la fac (lectrice d’anglais s’il vous plaît !), j’ai des épisodes très drôle de Sex and the City à regarder et j’ai passé la journée au soleil à Etretat…La vie est belle n’est-ce pas ?
Rien de bien neuf sinon… J’ai commencé ce blog avec l’espoir d’améliorer mon français mais malheureusement l’inspiration me manque… alors si vous lisez mon blog donnez moi une idée, un thème !

Hé! Je savais pas que tu écrivais un blog en français! Tu parles super bien, es-tu sûre d'avoir besoin d'entraînement??
c'est bon and Bill Maher column at Salon on France. is good. why do americans hate France so much. Bill said it right. America is a sick sick place. stay there in Framce girl!
****the interview begins.....
1) Tell us how the heck an American such as yourself ended up
writing for various publications in Asia, as well as blogging on
environmental issues. (Ed. note: Why should we trust this guy?)
1.0) Well, in 1991, I fell in love with a Japanese woman who was
visiting Alaska for a week, and I followed her back to Tokyo "to be
with her for the rest of my life." we broke up a month later, but I stayed
on in Japan for five more years, found work at an English-language
newspaper in Tokyo, and began making plans to stay in Asia "for the
rest of my life." I enjoy living in countries like Japan and Taiwan,
where I have been for the past ten years. I worked for an English
language newspaper in Taiwan for a year, and now freelance for several
publications in Taiwan, Japan and the USA. With the Internet and
email, one can live anywhere now and be in touch with the "center",
whereever that is.
I started blogging on evironmental issues after reading an interview
with James Lovelock last year and following the global warming debate
in the media and within the IPCC. When I heard Lovelock say that he
fears people might have to relocate to the polar regions of the Earth
if global warming really screws things up in the middle regions, I had
a kind of "Eureka!" moment and started a blog to start planning for
the design and construction of vast polar cities and towns that might
be needed to house the remnants of humankind in the not too distant
future, maybe 500 years from now, maybe sooner. I feel we need to
start thinking about this issue of polar cities now, while the
materials and fuel and transportation are available to build them.
Later, it might be too late.
2) If there is one thing that we Americans as a group do not
understand about China, in your opinion, what would that be? (Ed.
note: And is it because we're ignorant, or because China has something
to hide?)
2.0) What we Americans need to understand about China is that it is
a non-transparent communist dictatorship that does not play by the
rules and has a lot of things it wants to hide, from SARS cases
(remember that?) to bird flu deaths (remember that?) to its thousands
of coal plants. We need to get tough with China. It is a very
dangerous country, with reckless leaders. It's the USSR all over
again. Wake up, America! Yes, China is hiding a lot under the carpet
and behind closed doors. It has no intention of curtailing its CO2
emissions at all. It wants to put economic progress above all else. We
Americans need to stop glamorizing China and its so-called "peaceful
rise". China represents a major danger to the world.
3) I have heard from a notable environmental author, Bill
McKibben, that China is following in American footsteps when it comes
to energy consumption. Does that ring true to you, and if so, can you
give us some examples? McKibben is the expert on all this. I have
never been to China, and the place where I live, Taiwan, is not China.
Taiwan is a free, democratic nation of 23 million people, and its
leaders and EPA officials want to contribute the global fight against
global warming. Taiwan is on Al Gore's side. China, however, communist
China (the mainland, in an out-dated term) is a nation of 1.3 billion
people led by leaders who belong to the Chinese Communist Party and do
not allow for political dissent or freedom of speech. China is racing
to become a world superpower, and it does not care one bit about the
environment or global warming or air pollution or energy conservation.
It will soon surpass the USA as a world energy consumer and the
resulting picture (and sky) won't be a pretty picture. China wants
everything that America has, and to achieve this, its energy
consumption will be enormous -- and global warming be damned. The
mainland Chinese (communists) do not live in the same moral world we
do. They couldn't care less about polluting rivers or lakes or the
skies. They are a clear and present danger to the future of humankind
on Earth.
Let me give you a good example of how China tries to look like a boy
scout, when in fact, it's a major industrial polluter. Hu Tao, who
runs China's State Environmental Protection Administration, recently
told reporters that China's one-child per couple policy -- introduced
in the early 1980s -- has had the side-effect of "braking global
warming" by limiting its population to 1.3 billion against a projected
1.6 billion without the policy.
"This has reduced greenhouse gas emissions," Hu told a conference in
Oslo in April 2007. Does anyone in the West believe this crap? As you
know, Kit, China is the number two emitter of greenhouse gases, mainly
from burning fossil fuels, behind America and ahead of Russia. It's
one-child policy gets credit for reducing greenhouse gas emissions?
Who is Hu kidding?
Tell me that you agree with me that french salesman are unpolite. And I am French myself.... At least, American salesman are polite... mais bon, la France est quand mm bien connue pour sa légendaire politesse. Bon courage pour ton blog en français, moi j'en ai un... en anglais !!!
Hello. thanks for your comment on my blog (re Harry Potter). I actually did finish it yesterday. I liked the other books better, I thought this one dragged.
hello! Nice picture. I think I might have visited the same spot, or else there are just many like it in that area.
Salut!
Welcome to Lyon - what you need to know is metro stop Hotel de Ville. You can't miss the Opera, and Starbucks is right there.
We're headed into town this evening (along with tout le monde), but keep an eye out for us!
