I have been sick, I have been working, I have been watching "How I met your mother" ... so nothing really sexy to tell on this blog and first of all my legendary lazyness is back !!
But I want to use the uselessness of this marketing class to give you Julie's feeling about her environment & life :)
First of all of course I have been quite schocked by the huge financial crisis which happens as a bad new for the soon graduated student that I am ... I even don't know if my offer by Barclays is still worth ...
I really can't wait to see if BNP will survive, if they don't I will make sooo much fun of Guillaume Finck. Most of you might not know him, he is a friend of mine from ESCP and he did two internships last year: one by BNP, one by Lehman Brothers and after Lehman if BNP also collpases I won't take this for a complete hasard :)!
Anyway I think it won't be that easy to find a job for next september ... and I wouldn't even have dared dreaming of such a good excuse for not beginning to work so soon ;) And if I really can't find a job then I will think about opening a Dunkin' Donut franchise in Paris... It doesn't make sense that we don't have them ?!
Otherwise I went for the first time last week to a French restaurant in Bangkok (one of the most famous restaurant in Bangkok, but I learnt it too late and we indeed paid the price for it !), but was nice .. all the more as the owner told us where to find goat cheese :D We should have a cheese and wine evening this week end !
We have also found a huge mall with only imitation of shoes and bags for nothing and an IT mall where they have all possible DVDs for 100bth !!
Other high valuated information: I have been stunk about 50 times by mosquitos this week end, unfortunately I am not exagerating, I really count them and there are more than 50 of them ... yes i keep scratching and it looks very sexy !!

Getting cold in Thailand ... wtf is wrong with me !!
I AM SICK :(
It is soooo not sexy !!!
I have no idea how I got it but I am really sick... i think it is mainly due to not sleeping enough and traveling seven hours in a fridge ! Yes cause the air conditioning in Thailand is a real danger ...
I blow my nose 1000 times a day and night :( and I look terrible !
I think it is nothing bad but I wanted to share with you the pleasure of taking cold showers when you feel sick and to have nothing to take a warm tea before going to bed :(
You see you don't have to be soo jealous, Thailand is not completely Heaven :D

On the road to Khmer citadelles...
We were not sure what to do this week end and we decided that it was the perfect time to go to visit the ancient Khmer temples at the border with Cambodgia about 300 km east from Bangkok... Indeed you can read in all newpapers alert to huge rainfalls especially in this region and see many headlines about the revival of tensions between Cambodgia and Thailand because of a complicated issue about one of those temples lol Perfect timing ;)
I was in fact pretty stressed about this but it has rained only twice and not very much and the temple at stake was 200 km further from where we went !
The plan was: leaving on friday afternoon with Marine, Ludo, Aldrick and Typhaine, taking the bus to Nakhon Ratchasima, sleep there, rent motor bikes early on saturday morning and drive the about 100 km to the first temples, visit one or two of them, sleep there the first night, visit on sunday and then drive in the evening to Surin where I would take the bus back to Bangkok in order to be in class on Monday while the others would drive back to nakhon Ratchasima on Monday as they don't have class (200km on the highway :(, I was very happy not to do it !) and visit a few more temples in the North...
What happen: basically the same !! we were pretty good and very lucky .. because the bikes we rent were VERY crap but yet we didn't had too much problems (one of the tire get flat three times .. but every time we were lucky enough to find someone to repare it in 30 minutes for 20 to 50 Bth lol), we only had the map from Lonely Planet but we found our way pretty easily and the weather has also been perfect: cloudy enough not to get too much sun burn but it hasn't rained or at least it has always waited for us to be in the temples or in a restaurant ;)
The temples are nice but apart from one really impressive on a volcano it is not really worse so many kilometers ... however we ended up in very remote areas of Thailand and going through typical villages and driving through 80 kilometers of rice fields and countryside was really interesting !!
Here no way to speak english and we have proved very creative with body language to get food ;) What is amazing here is that even in the deepest areas we can find a much better road system than in my area in France ... the problem is that it is so good that everybody makes the most of it: on our motorbikes we met trucks, Buses (on the main roads), pick ups of course, but also bycicles, strange hybrids and of course farmers with their cows on the road side and plently of animals (dogs, cats, chicken and children lol no I am kidding children are really sweet here)
I didn't only feel geographically far from Europe but I also felt like I was doing a temporal travel back one century ago ! Appart from the fact that anywhere you go, you can find Coca Cola ... very impressive this company !!
view at the first temple from the volcano, Prasat Phanom Rung:
Aldrick & Typhaine; Marine & Ludo; Me & nobody :( lol
Perfect location for a paintball !!

Political situation in Bangkok
Samak Sundaravej is the actual Prime Minister in Thailand and has been in charge since January 2008. But he is accused of corruption and first of all of being a front of Thaksin Shinawatra a former Prime Minister now in exil in Europe (Manchester city).
Thaksin Shinawatra was in charge in 2006 when allegations of corruption began and lead to a call for re-election. Thaksin Shinawatra was then re-elected and therefore pressure went on, leading to a military coup on 19th September 2006.
Then I am not really sure what happened during the time the junta was in charge but I just understood that it leads to new democratic elections in december 2007, when Samak was elected. ( In fact it is just the proof of the failure of the coup as Samak has been elected with the votes of the rural people who were supporters of Thaksin before he was kicked out ... back to zero !!)
Now the protesters (People's Alliance Democracy, PAD supporters) are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej on allegation of corruption. The problem is that they don't care about the state of emergency and keep striking while Samak refuses to resign ...
There is a major debate about what would be the good solution ... some want Samak to resign but this would means that his government stays in charge, some think that he should disolve the assembly which sounds the most democratic solution but the problem is that his party is very likely to be re-elected, as most of the population from the province supports him and was also in favor of Thaksin Shinawatra...
Honestly Thailand is really facing an impass. Here is a summary of different possible scenarios, that i could read in the news :
- a referendum BUT means waiting at least until october and it will be tough to agree on the terms of the paper
- Samak and his government resign, the protesters would be happy BUT it is not very likely to happen as Samak consider (and it is true) that he has a legitimate mandate
- Dissolve the assembly BUT as I explained already PPP is likely to win again (People's Power Party : only in Asia you could find such a name for a Party lol)
- Protesters won't stop, it is not even an option, they look really decided and they are even growing !
- MOST POSSIBLE, the government could be dissolved : "The Thai Election Commission recently ruled that the PPP committed electoral fraud during December's poll and should be dissolved...But it will probably take months before the Constitutional Court decides whether to accept the Election Commission's recommendation - and the current stalemate is unlikely to last that long"(BBC)
- it would also not be unsurprising that Samak tries to use violence BUT he would then loose credibility and support and the army won't necesseraly accept either !
- Pro-government supporters also begin to strike ... BUT in this case I don't go to BKK anymore cause the official name of this is civil war and it is not that SEXY :(
- Intervention of the King !!! I hope and think this will be the case ... Bhumibol Adulyadej is really revered across the nation and could bring peace back.
and because it is always classy to finish with a quote to foster my point :
"Our political system has been unstable all the time. So whenever there is a political crisis people expect the King to solve the problem." Prof Suchit Bunbongkarn

Feed back on Ko Samui
Ok so i think you get the point, many nice beaches ... but apart from it not that much to do ! So basically we took a motor bike (I am becomin a real bikeuse !) and we went around the island, stoping at most of the beach to have a swimm and try the pancakes in the restaurants .. hihi
and just as masturbation for the end, a nice photo of me :D
I love Sunday :D
I have been pretty motivated today !!
I woke up at 11am and as soon as 12am I was in the public bus to Mo Chit ... Public bus is quite an experience here but it is a lot better than one can imagine : Air Conditioning, not that many people (at least i could sit both ways), a little bit slow (about 1 hour to get to Bangkok) but I had time today and with a book and ipod it is more than fine) but first of all it is 21 Bt for 35 km!! I think those buses should be used as a definition for the word "cheap" ;)
I first went to visit Jim Thomson's House in central Bangkok. Jim Thomson was an American guy who came to Thailand after the second world war and decided to stay there and beginn to build a huge collection of thai and chinese objects. I don't really know why he is so famous but his collection is nice! I would have enjoyed if i wouldn't have taken the visit in French ... I ended up with an awfull french man (40/50 years old) and his prostitute (20 years old) and the guy kept saying "oh my god it is marvelous", which is always strange because you wonder if you should tell him to shut up or to ignore him or to accept to beginn a discussion with this complete disgusting stranger, as it is clearly what he is looking for ... don't worry I choose to ignore him :D He kept asking stupid questions, just as if he knew about thai art when it was obvious he didn't :( The worse is that i really think he was trying to sound clever... The only funny thing happened when he told me "oh I was there last year and the most beautiful thing here is this little statute of buddha overthere" and then the guide looked at me and said "it is not a bouddha, it is a monk !" hihi
Then Chatuchak Market !! Just great, my new addiction :D H&M in 10 times cheaper and a lot more choice ..
The way back was fun, 20cm of water all along the road .. I don't know if you can see from the picture, but definitely the road system here is a big joke lol

Spéciale dédicace pour Anne Flore ...
Petit bilan sur la Thaïlande:
Ah non vraiment un vrai paradis:
les chauffeurs de taxi savent vous faire vous sentir en sécurité, les chauffeurs de bus ont une conduite délicate, le système sanitaire est d'exception, la conscience environnementale sans faille, les plages absolument désertes et sauvages, l'anglais est langue universelle, quant au temps toujours au beau fixe, les thaïlandaises sont très ouvertes à la western culture et sans discrimination par l'age ! la situation politique est d'une stabilité remarquable, la faune canine est également très vaste et palpitante pour qui recherche sur les maladies infectieuses ou dermatologiques, les gouts musicaux sont fort variés, le système autoroutier architecturalement très bien pensé et la pureté de l'air vous retire toute mauvaise conscience d'être un gros fumeur ;)
Non vraiment Anne Flore est tombé amoureuse de la Thaïlande et le départ à été très difficile, le simple fait de penser à se remettre au fromage, vin rouge, baguette et de retourner aux douches chaudes et propres lui a foutu le moral à zéro lol
Mais bon elle s'est nourrie de pancakes et donuts tout le séjour, a fait des siestes sur la plage, s'est balladé dans Bangkok, est tombée dans la jungle, a acheté pour 5 kilos de souvenirs et puis surtout à eu le plaisir de me voir pendant 12 jours... donc je pense qu'elle a eu un agréable séjour !!

Chang Mai with Anne Flore
Chang Mai is really a nice trip to do !!
We stayed there only three days but we made the most of it !
We beginn with a rest in our lovely and very cheap French gesthouse that we found thanks to the Routard Guide ... C&C Teak House hosted by a thai/french couple. We then booked our Trekking for 2 days and went out for a Oil massage. There again the adress in the Routard guide was a good one : "Bor Nguen" for 300Bth you get a very warm welcome in a relaxing environment and the massage of course was great ... don't waste your money on cheap massage on the street or on the beach, it is sooo more worse in such institutes ;)
Friday and Saturday was in the Jungle !! We went with 3 other French bagpackers (Thomas, Marie and Karine. Karine is partner in a casting agency for advertisment in Paris and it was very interesting to speak with her ;) always work/ carrier oriented I am !!) There were also 5 Americans from New York of course and to add a litlle bit to the cliche they were all Law students lol and three hollander sisters were also with us and here again in order to confirm all the cliche ... Thomas got weed from the guide and only the French people and the Dutch girls smoked it :D
So we begun with an elephant tour ... i was glad to see elephants, to touch them (and their trunk .. hihi) cause they are soooo sweet but at the same time this kind of tour is really useless and ridiculous !
Then we went for a three hours walking trip in the jungle to get to the village where we spent the night... We had been started for 2 min when it started raining !! A huge thunder storm ... I really felt like in Lost ;) strangely enough I decided that I was Kate :D
Walking in the jungle is really a nice experience, it is amazingly beautiful ! and also fun, not to mention the moment when Anne Flore fell in the down !
I think I will try to do more trekkings but maybe with more hours walking. There are huge National parks in the South of Thailand that I really want to visit.
The village was a funny experience .. People living there are Chinese fleeing communism.. they are called New Thai, they don't have ID of course but the government allow them unofficialy to stay there. They have a few chickens, porks and corn fields.. as it is highly forbiden to cut any tree in this National park they put fire during the warm season, which can be very dangerous for tourists group, our guide explained !!
On a more trivial basis but interesting either, I noticed that all the Americans went to the shower as soon as we get to the village, while all the Europeans felt reluctant and evetnually I didn't even took a shower :D
After a few Singha beers, a few joints and of course a few discussions about politics in the USA (!!) we falled asleep but woke up really early thanks to the lovely chickens :)
The next day were waterfalls and rafting on the programm .. really nice of course and the jungle by nice weather is even more beautiful ! (I let you judge by yourself with the pictures !)
Thomas as been trying to learn Thai a little bit, so we practice with him and the guide and I begin to have some basics :)
Saturday evening was quiet with only a typical thai restaurant .. miammy and sooooo cheap !
and Sunday was dedicated to markets : I have spend quite a lot of money on food !!! It was of course only to get the opportunity to practice on Thai ;) I can now negociate on Thai and when you say that you are student in bangkok and that you can say the numbers in thai they are relly more willing to give you good prices :D I got also necklaces, t shirts, bouddha, scarfes .. to sum up, many things that I really don't need :(
We were supposed to go back by train but because of the events in Bangkok against the governement we had to take the bus.. I want to wait and have some more infos, but I will also try to write a post about those events and give you an insight from the heart of the issue.
oh yes by the way ... never underestimate the power of mosquitos in the North of Thailand even during day time !!!!!!!
