I ♥ NY
While you reading and watching the photos,
Listen to this, you might feel the atmosphere...
What can I say about NYC???
Well nothing really except that it's an amazing city....
So many people talked about New York in a better way than me.
Sinatra of course :
"I want to be a part of it
[...]I want to wake up in that city"
Even Jay-Z said some good stuff about NYC :
"In New York, Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Theres nothing you can’t do, Now you’re in New York,
These streets will make you feel brand new,
The lights will inspire you, Lets here it for New York"
And I only can be agree with that...
However, if you want to see the most beautiful view of NY, my advice is :
Go to the Brooklyn Bridge, this what you gonna be able to see : (Large view, click on it)
Great, innit??
While I was there, I went in every single place that a tourist can see...
Harlem, Central Park, Brooklyn (where I stayed), Up Town, Mid Town, Down Town, Manhattan, 5th ave.....etc...
Some pics are sometimes better than a speach...

Banksy
Did I talk to you about Banksy???
He's the most famous Bristolian graffiti artist. He's much debated because he's a political activist, his art is engagé and subversive, using sometimes some slogans anti-war, anti-capitalist or anti-establishment.
At some point, it's really annoying because he is from Bristol and here, it's like Banksy here, Banksy there... According to the Bristolian, he's THE only artist from that city...They're so proud about him... But what he does is still good...
" Banksy is the pseudonym of a British graffiti artist, political activist and painter, whose identity is unconfirmed. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine irreverent dark humour with graffiti done in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.
Banksy's work was born out of the Bristol underground scene which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. He became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s. Observers have noted that his style is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris and members of the anarcho-punk band Crass who maintained a graffiti stencil campaign on the London Tube System in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

[...]Banksy started as a freehand graffiti artist 1992–1994[13] as one of Bristol's DryBreadZ Crew (DBZ), with Kato and Tes. He was inspired by local artists and his work was part of the larger Bristol underground scene.
[...]
Banksy's stencils feature striking and humorous images occasionally combined with slogans. The message is usually anti-war, anti-capitalist or anti-establishment. Subjects often include rats, monkeys, policemen, soldiers, children, and the elderly. " (Source Wikipedia)
Lately, Banksy has created a controversial title sequence for The Simpsons.
The storyboard was apparently inspired by reports the show outsources the bulk of their animation to a company in South Korea.

New Orleans, August 2010
The true story about the New Orleans
After a wonderful week in Chicago, full of surprises, I'm now on my way to the New Orleans, instead of S.F., I changed my mind at the last minute (no regrets about that).
Two flights later and one stop to Charlotte , I'm landing to New Orleans.
Temperature on the ground close to 40°C, Humidity close to 80%, I can barely breath.
It doesn't really mater, I'm on holidays.
I take a bus from the airport, one hour later, I finally reach the hostel.
This place, the India House Backpackers Hostel, is a proper architectural house from the New Orleans.
Really friendly place, always messy, a bar, a swimming pool, full of drunkers...The kind of place that I'm going to like.
So now lets talk about the real story of that week.
This start with a pretty rough week in Chicago and before that, a rough time at work in UK.
Basically I need some rest and some good time, New Orleans is going to be the perfect place for that.
Like I said, the weather was really warm and because it's too warm, you just want to do nothing.
So what I did during that week is laying down by the pool, drinking, the pool, meeting and talking to people, drinking...Happy days.
This is what I'm talking about...
Well, New Orleans is still a very nice place to visit, so beautiful, people are really friendly over there.
Even if Katrina fucked everything, down-town is still amazing. Good food, I ate some alligator, really nice, good music as well (the jazz of New Orleans).
But that is the thing, when you leaving the center, the whole suburb is fucked up, like a no man's land because hurricane.
I said that I did nothing but it's not really true, I went in town every night.
You need to know something about that city. It's a really small town, so there is not a lot of things to do.
There is the French quarter, which is down-town and...euh that's it... I told you.
About the parties, two places.
The first one, Bourbon street, a trap for tourists, it's full of shit. Some crappy bars and nigtht clubs.
There is no need to spend time there.
On the other hand, the place to be is Frenchmen street. Loads of nice jazz clubs, bars and restaurants to enjoy night life. Underground and emptiness of tourists (is that correct????).
An amazing time, I saw a guy in a jazz club, he played three guitars at the same time. One bass guitar on his feet, one electric guitar on the right side and one a the left side...Just unbelievable.
So yeah I had a really good time with nice people, a lot of parties, always sunny except the last day, just when I took all the pictures of that city...
This is why I'm going to call this album "New Orleans by rain"...

Pat & The Liquor Boxx
During my trip in Chicago, I met via my friend Nat, millions of nice and interesting people.
Some tattoo artists, DJs, sailors, musicians,...long is the list.
But I met, in particular that guy, which is the flatmate of my friend.
Let me tell you more about him.
Patrick
The artist
That guy called Patrick from Chicago, is the most interesting artist that I ever met.
He is a very brilliant guitarist. I saw him played some Hendrix to the perfection. I had the occasion to see him playing some really nice Blues, obviously he's from Chicago, so the Blues music, he's got this in his blood.
What I liked about Pat, is that he is very laid back, open minded, clever and he can talk about everything. He knows a lot about the history of Chicago, about the history of the music, especially the Blues and the Jazz. He can talk to you for hours about for the Blues of Chicago, which is really interesting. He used to live as well for a while in New Orleans, so he knows a lot about the Jazz over there (and he gave me loads of advices about New Orleans, cf. next post).
Really nice guy...
As a guitarist, he's a part of a band called "Liquor Boxx".
Liquor Boxx
The Band
That trip was the occasion for me to discovering different things such as music, films, paintings...
For now lets be focused on music and this band Liquor Boxx.
I did not have the chance to see them in live but through Patrick, I discovered their music.
They're from Chicago and as they're saying, they're playing a "SEXY ASS ROCK MUSIC".
They're influences are the Blues, Rock, Alternative...
They likes to call themselves for fun the "Zeppendrix Vaughn", the spiritual sons of Led Zep, Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Everything is said in that last sentence...
Don't forget to check their Myspace and/or Facebook for more informations and musics -->Myspace / Facebook
I selected for you two of their tracks...Enjoy!!!

Chicago, August 2010
This year, I've been working really hard and for only one thing...To pay myself some awesome holidays...So I did it.
My destination : USA, for a month.
I was really excited and at the same time, really scared about going there on my own...
My only fellow trip would be my backpack...
But at the end, everything went well...
I had an amazing time, met a lot of great people (tell you more about them later),
saw millions of beautiful things...Such a nice experience.
I would recommended it.
Sat, 15th of august 2010, 4am, I am on my way to Bristol airport.
First stop in US, Chicago, the lovely "Windy City"...
But before that, 3 stops and 16 hours trip...Bristol, to Amsterdam, to Detroit, to Chicago.
My first step on the American soil was in Detroit..and what an adventure. I spent about 1 hour with the immigration authorities. The agent was not really friendly and smiley. Such a dickhead..Whatever..
Eventually I got to my final destination, Chicago my love...
So far, I would say that Chicago is my favourite city in US.
It's beautiful, very clean, wonderful monuments, very cultural and multi- ...
Lot of things to do there, very nice music scene (THE famous Blues of Chicago), good pubs and night clubs...
Open minded and friendly people...In short, awesome.
While I was there, I went to the Sears Tower. It's a really good spot to see the whole town, an amazing view.
At the top of that tower, there is a scary thing, you can actually step outside the tallest building in the western hemisphere and the third tallest in the world. At 412 meters in the air, the ledge’s glass box extend out 1.3 meter from Skydeck. There's nothing but space under your feet.
I went to see as well a Cub's game (Thanks Nat for that), Chicago's baseball team.
I'm not really into that thing but that was funny to see and share a moment like this with people and it's the most popular game there.
There is another thing that I really enjoyed, that was my trip on a boat on the lake Michigan, very cool, I mean at the beginning, after a while I was sick...But still a real nice time...
Right, it's time to stop talking...

Really beautiful city, nice atmosphere, underground music and state of mind, the perfect city for me...

13 - Weston super mare...
Le soleil, depuis une semaine, pointe le bout de son nez à Bristol. Nous en avons donc profiter pour aller faire un saut à la mer. Weston super mare, petite ville de la côte, nous a accueillis pour la journée. Très charmante station balnéaire qui connût une notoriété à partir du XIXe siècle, sous l'ère Victorienne avec la naissance des vacances côtières. Aujourd'hui, Weston est d'avantage un paradis pour les vieux blindés de thunes. C'est bien simple, nous n'avons croisés aucunes personnes qui avaient moins de 60ans..Cette ville compte aussi un nombre incalculable de bancs au m²...vieux oblige...
Bref, une journée bien sympathique, visite, Fish and chips (cabillaud pané + frites)en terrasse avec vue sur la mer, j'ai même réussi à prendre un coup de soleil...
Je vous laisse admirer le paysage...tjrs en cliquant sur le titre ou cette phrase

12 - Cardiff...
Tout en continuant mes petites visites aux alentours de Bristol, je suis allé passer une journée à Cardiff. Cardiff (Caerdydd en gallois) est la capitale et la plus grande ville du pays de Galles. C'est une très jolie ville mais l'on s'emmerde assez rapidement une fois le centre ville visité.
Petit clin d'œil aux copains fan de foot et autre rugby, j'ai pris la pose devant le fameux Millennium Stadium...
Petite visite guidée, comme d'hab en cliquant sur le titre ou cette phrase...

11 - Under the snow...
Début février, nous avons eu une superbe semaine sous la neige.
Selon les dire des locaux, il n'avait pas neigé à Bristol depuis près de 18ans.
Bristol savait que les beaux gosses français étaient là, alors elle nous a offert ce joli spectacle, rien que pour nous... =)
Admirez le travail... (en cliquant ici ou sur le titre)

10 - Back in game...
Après un long moment de silence sur cet espace qui est le mien, me revoilà sur le devant de la scène.
Suite à de multiples galères qui me sont arrivées ces derniers temps (expulsion de ma maison à cause de mes putes de ex-collocs, procès avec mon ex-employeur, cassage de doigts en soirée, etc...) j'en passe et des meilleurs, la liste est longue...je reprends donc un peu de service...
Toutes ces péripéties font parties de cette aventure que je vie ici, m'ont données du fils à retordre, m'ont fait toucher le fond, faut bien le dire, mais m'ont aussi permis de découvrir de nouvelles choses sur moi...
Finalement avec un certain recul, elles ont dans un sens casées la routine installé depuis peu.
Cependant, malgré une baisse de moral, il y a 2 choses qui me font tenir, c'est les très bon potes que j'ai rencontré ici et cette chanson qui quand je l'écoute me redonne le sourire...

9 - Portishead
Ce mercredi 12 nov., je suis parti visiter avec mon coupain Loscar, ce charmant village du nom de Portishead situé à 15 kms à l'ouest de Bristol. Après 1h de bus et 6£60 plus tard...Nous y voila.
Cette ville portuaire de 21 000 habitants tiens son nom d'une dérive au fil du temps de "port at the head of the river". De style Victorien, Portishead, jusque dans les années 1950 n'avait qu'une seule rue principale (High street) et qques quartiers.
Milieu des années 50, une nouvelle Marina se construit au bout du port, attirant de plus en plus de "blindés de tunes" provenant de toute l'Angleterre...
Ce qui a pour effet aujourd'hui de diviser la ville en 2. Un coté vieille ville et un autre coté quartier résidentiel huppé fermé par des grilles...(Différence flagrante sur les photos). Rappelons aussi que le fameux groupe de Trip-hop "Portishead", tiens son nom de cette même ville (lieu de naissance du batteur / guitariste Geoff Barrow). Mais la rencontre de tous les membres de ce groupe (Geoff Barrow, Beth Gibbons et Adrian Utley) s'est effectuée en 1991 à Bristol.
Voila pour le coté historique de la ville...
En résumé, il n'y à pas grand chose à y faire mais ça fait faire une petite ballade.

7 - Nlle découverte musicale
Toujours dans ma quête de nouvelles expériences musicales, je viens de mettre la main sur un truc plutôt pas mal...
Rappelons à juste titre que Bristol est une excellente place pour la music. Bristol est considérée comme étant la capitale européenne du Trip pop. De nombreux artistes, acteurs incontournables de la scène musicale mondiale ont vus le jour ici...Massive attack, Portishead, Tricky, Roni size pour les plus connus. Pour les moins connus, il n'y a juste qu'à tendre l'oreille en vous baladant et vous trouverez de très bons artistes au détour d'une rue, un pub et autres salles de concerts...
Mais revenons à notre artiste...Il officie sous le nom de Dub FX..Il se ballade dans le monde entier, s'arrête dans une rue et fait son show. Ses armes : juste sa voix et une loop machine et un flow hip hop..En sommes c'est un beatbox man...Pour ceux qui connaissent Rahzel, c'est un peu dans le même style mais en 10x plus puissant...Dub FX est en concert prochainement à Bristol, si ça intéresse qqun!!!

4 - The University of Bristol...
Maintenant les bases sont posées. Je peux attaquer le vif du sujet.
C'est pas la classe cette carte d'étudiant...Ca pète, non?
Les cours ont commencés depuis 1 semaine. Je galère encore un peu au niveau de la compréhension, mais ça va rentrer et bientôt je serais bilingue enfin presque...Je pourrais parler anglais sans être fracassé dans qques mois.
Qques mots sur l'université...Ce qu'il y a de bien dans l'université de Bristol, c'est que ce n'est pas un campus ordinaire comme nous pouvons voir en France. En fait ici, ce ne sont que des rues et les départements de science, économie, politique, management...c'est juste des maisons.
C'est vraiment très classe et le cadre est vraiment sympa...
Bon j'ai aussi des amphis et des salles de cours qui ressemblent à Harry Potter...
Ca c'est le bâtiment principal de la fac, qui ne sert que pour des réceptions, des réunions...Mais ça reste vraiment classe...C'est le Memorial building
Ca c'est mon département : Management
Exemple de rue, les bâtiments que l'on voit, c'est des salles de cours...
Et ça c'est le bâtiment où j'ai mes cours de E-Business...L'amphi c'est une ancienne chapelle..la classe quoi..
3 - Le backpacker...
Voilà ça fait maintenant un peu plus de 2 semaines que je squatte le backpacker du 17 St Stephen's street...
C'est pas un hôtel 4 étoiles mais franchement on s'y fait..
Je raque 75£ / semaine avec tout le confort nécessaire, excepté la chambre..
C'est toujours mieux que sous les ponts et ça dépanne pas mal..
Alors je suis dans une chambre de 10 pelos...
Si l'on devait résumer la chambre d'une auberge de jeunesse à un simple problème de math, il serait celui-ci :
Sachant que dans 1 chambre de 10 voyageurs, nous avons :
4 personnes qui schlinguent des panards
3 qui puent de la gueule
5 qui ronflent comme des porcs
et 3 qui lâchent des caisses toute la nuit...
(Vous me direz que ça fait plus de 10 personnes tout ça...Je sais bien mais y'en a qui prennent chers et qui cumulent un peu tout...)
De combien d'heures de sommeil dispose le petit Cb???
Réponse : Et bien pas de bcp...Je suis claqué quoi..
2 - Un pied sur le sol British
Me voila parti pr qques mois dans cette aventure que sont les études à l'étranger avec le prog Erasmus...
Bref qques galères en arrivant le samedi 27 sept ....
Pas de places dans aucunes des auberges de jeunesses de la ville...
Ce qui m'a valu de marcher presque 2h avec mon sac de 20kgs et mon ordi....(j'ai plus d'épaules...j'ai définitivement abandonné l'idée de faire pékin express, je l ai vécu à bristol pdt 1 journée...c pas l'éclate... =) )
Bref je tombe sur un vieux pochetron qui me dit qu'il connaît plein d hôtels ds le coin, il me dit aussi qu'il aime la France et qu'il est ravi de pvr m aider...
Il m emmène ds un hôtel genre 4 étoiles à près de 120£ la nuit...soit pas loin de 160€.. je n'ai pas hésité lgtps pr refuser...
Mais les types de l'hôtel étaient bien cool, ils ont passés 2 ou 3 coups de tels pr moi, pr essayer de me trouver une piaule pr la nuit...
Finalement, ils m'en trouvent une dans un hôtel ibis à 55£ la nuit...vu l'alternative que j avais, à savoir aucune, j'ai dc fais mon prince et ai pris cette chambre...
55£ (70€) ça pique un peu pr une nuit..mais bon au moins j ai bien dormis..
Bref, depuis dimanche 28 sept, je squatte ds une auberge de jeunesse un peu miteuse en attendant de trouver un appart...ce qui n'est pas des plus facile ici...
