Wow it’s been a while since my last post. Shame on me ! The thing is that I don’t spend much time at my place and when I’m home, well, I have to admit I’m a bit lazy. Cheap dvds don’t help either :]
Last weekend was a 3 days long weekend so I decided to go out of Shanghai with some friends. We went to Zhujiajiao, a lovely small water town not far from Shanghai which looks like Venice in a chinese style. It’s a nice place to visit, although a bit crowded. But which place is not in China?
The week before I’ve been to Attica, a famous local night club, to attend a Ministry of Sound’s party by Sébastien Léger. The french DJ played a great set compared to what I’ve heard here. There were some really good tracks like Daft Punk’s “Around the world” or “A new cage” by Sono, but the one I will remember is definitely Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the silence”. Yeah, that was good ! \o/

Well, except from that, I spend a lot of time eating and shopping. Cost of life is kinda low here so you can eat for pretty much nothing compared to France. That’s the good thing here! I miss french food though.
Ok, that’s it for today. Take a look at my pictures on my flickr page. And here’s bonus track for you : Symbolone - Love Juice.

No, I’m not dating (I wish) I ‘just’ have the date of my going to Shanghai. I’m supposed to begin on the 3rd of March which is a Monday. I asked to leave on the Friday just before so I have time to move in and have some rest before my first day of work. I don’t realize yet that I’m going to leave next week ! The coming days are going to be very boring. I have to move into my new house at Bussy Saint Georges (77) this weekend (you can imagine the mess), open a chinese bank account, extend my mutual insurance to international cover, renew my contract with Ubisoft and other joyful things.

Nothing’s better than a bit of headbanging to destress so I’ll share with you my artist of the moment : Facteur and my favorite track ‘Kill Mr D.A’ (the others are really good too btw). A must have for those who like Electro music.

Facteur - Kill Mr D.A

As days pass, the stress of my going to Shanghai is growing. I don’t know the exact date yet but what I know is that it’s getting closer and closer. I feel like I have tons of things to do but no time. Strange.

For those who don’t know yet, I’m leaving for a 6-month mission at Ubisoft Shanghai, my first time in a studio. I can’t tell much about the project I will work on because of the NDA I signed but I can tell you it’s really exciting. On top of that, it seems that I’m going to have some responsabilities in the project. It’s a bit more pressure but also more rewarding (if everything goes ok, of course, but I’m confident).

I hope to get some more detailed informations about my going in the coming days. I know I keep saying that over and over…

To conclude, here’s a remix of Pogo (Digitalism) I discovered in Kitsuné’s last ‘Maison’ compilation. Just awesome !
