Julien offered me a green mango this evening. I opened my bottle of bagoong (fish paste, a Filipino delicacy and habit, hehehe) and started to eat in the kitchen. When Julien entered the kitchen he held his hand over his nose, making gagging noises, staggering about and moaning: “It smells like a stinkerie!” (stinker-ie, as in boulanger-ie or charcuter-ie).

Christine> Exag, di ba? Anyway, the French eat this pink pasty thing called tarama, which in my opinion smells and tastes a million times worse than bagoong.

Hey so you’re living in La Defense? That’s a nice area – I live somewhere in the Vincennes area, but working in Paris 9 – just very near the Galeries Lafayette. I checked out your library and we have a lot in common when it comes to books – I’m a Haruki Murakami fan and right now, I’m reading Everything is Illuminated. Do you mind if I add you in my yahoo messenger? Thanks.
