Informal Letter

Dear Laura and Jimmy,

That's it, holidays are ended ! If I did not have to go to the university, I would have stayed with you.
One day, I will have time that I want, believe in me ! But it is not very important now, it is the present moment
which is important. I have many memories about this stay. It was a very beautiful meeting. You were so nice with me.
It is so cool to share with strangers people, with you !

You were good guides and good friends of travel !

That's why, I propose to you to come in France, in my house ! We invert the roles: it will be you the guests !

I'll show you montains, streets of Grenoble and animations. You will can to discover an other cultur: french cultur.
So, we could continue the travel together. It'll be great !

What do you think about it?!

See you soon my friends !

Never Give Up !

Liu Wei is a Pekinese pianist. He is 23 years old. 

He has participated in a brodcast: "China's Got Talent" and he has a particularity:
he play with foot ! He is amputated by the two arms after an accident. He has electrocuted when he was 10.
He stayed 45 days between life and die. It is a lesson of life for him, he did'n't want to give up.

He decided to continue, to fight and to persevere. He had two options: "The first is to give up his dreams and to die. And the other is to fight without arms to live an incredible history.", it is what he said.

His dream is to become a music producer.

For him, to surpass limits was and is possible.

Favorite Places

I'll try to make a presentation of my favorites places in Grenoble:

If you want to eat I can recommend to you "Le Régional". It is a restaurant very simple with an family atmosphere. Dishes are excellent but especially very big ! It is not expense and we are received with the smile !
There is too "Les Bas-Côtés". It is more different, it is alternatif. I explain you: it is at the same time a canteen, a grocer's shop and a bookshop. It is based on the self-management. They don't want to make profit, just to share.
If you want to buy good fruits and vegetables, you can ! It is small producers who live around to Grenoble who make that.

Moreover, what I like very much it is to make the market in streets or places ! It is very pleasant to buy good products
and to discuss with the producers.

I like listen music. I go to The "Bobine". It is a place where you can drink, eat, listening music,
play music (they are studios to do that), take the microphone (yes, they are sometimes "opened scenes" of SLAM. Do you know the
SLAM? It is a music style. The objective is: if you have something to say, you have 5 minutes to do that ! You can read a poem,
singing, make a "RAP" or just talking ! Sometimes, they are too concerts and styles are very diffrents (music of the world,
electro music, rock music, latin music ...) Opened scenes" are free: you give what you want, what you can !
Concerts are not very expensive (maximum 10€) and sometimes, they are "aperitif-concerts", so it is free !
There is too theater of improvisation and other things too.

"Le Dock" is an other place to listen music. It is not expensive (free or some euros), if you have friends who want to play music
and to give a concert, they can here ! My friends did that.

"La Bifurk" is a pooling of multidisciplinary associations around solidarity, exchange. In this place, you can listen music, see plays, many arts of street, make sport (BMX, skate ...) and many tother things. Prices are not expensive: it is often 5 or 6 euro maximum.

 

You like walking? See the mountains ! We are so lucky to be here because if we want to breathe, it is possible !
In winter, you can ski or just walk on the snow ! Around Grenoble, they are too lakes. There is too the fortress: "La Bastille" if you want to walk.

So I agree with Elodie fort the Park Paul-Mistral, they are many Squirrels and it is really so cute !
