Short Skirt Long Socks

Haven’t used the filters in Lightroom for a while !

Playmobil House

One thing I did during the Golden Week : install some LED lights in my daughter’s doll house, fully furnished with Playmobil she got for Christmas in France.

W Bar

Very different from night time : no music and no ladies ;-)

Good Night Taipei

Really nice city, me like !

W Room in Taipei

Very nice hotel room, no ?

W Taipei

One of the best hotel I’ve stayed at. Surprisingly everything seems to be working fine although it opened only last week !

So Very Cool

The W Hotel in Taipei is so very cool that the party starts right from the entrance lift that you have to ride to reach the lobby on the 10th floor ! One of the screen inside the lift shows the playlist of the music being played !

Good Morning Taipei

First morning in Taipei. I haven’t managed to take good enough photos of my room at the W hotel but as soon as I do, be prepared to be amazed :-)

Flying A380

Starting the descent towards Paris, 11 hours of a smooth ride after leaving Tokyo. A plethora of A380 photos coming soon… :-) I actually wanted to upload more photos but my iPad now refuses to connect to my CF card reader because of the USB power limitation iOS has recently introduced. Not to mention the ...

Inside my Desktop

Since I had to open my desktop for some refurbishing (video card, SSD, memory, BR writer), I decided to take a few photos… which reminds me : looking forward to TRON :-)

ZOTAC

One of my purchases from my trip to the US: a fan-less video card – ZONE GeForce GT 430 from ZOTAC – for a perfect balance of performance and features while maintaining silence during operation to let users focus on stunning visuals uninterrupted by fan noise !

Bored to Death

Already bored right after boarding – no pun intended – I took a few photos of what would be my view for the next 15 hours or so on my way back to Tokyo… That Boeing 777-200 from Delta was either new or recently refurbished : large touch screens for in-flight entertainment without any remote ...

Main Street Bridge

Beautiful sunset with Main Street Bridge over St. Johns River in Jacksonville, as seen from my hotel room (Hyatt Regency).

RAN2#71bis in Xian

Korean Food and Drink

Pictured above, some infamous Sochu ;-)

Chinese Ingenuity

Now, that’s what I would call a foreigner-friendly power plug !

Touch Me

mmm… maybe not ;-) and yes, that’s where we had lunch !

Cheap Chinese Lunch

Plethora of sichuan food for ~2€ each!

Schutzstaffel SS

Poor design for the quality label logo in China, at least from European viewpoint: difficult not to be reminded of the Schutzstaffel SS.

Terracotta Army

A lot more impressive in Mummy 3 to be honest ;-)

Z19 From Beijing to Xian

This time we decided to avoid riding the plane (too much of it on a yearly basis anyway) and give the train a try between Beijing and Xian: eleven hours ride, leaving Beijing at 21:30 and arriving in Xian at 8:30. Around 400 CNY each for a 4-berth soft sleeper cabin: not too expensive, quite ...
