I open My Wings and I soar Like a Butterfly

there are a lot of things very differents between French and English in general, I like the English courteousness, which is apparently lost in france. the english drink heavily, not comparable with french. I think the weather is involved in a lot. in fact, Pub is the rendezvous point to spend time with friend and with beer (a lot). girls nearly drink more than guys, almost are fat and the guys as well... it is such a pity! I spoke with one of my colleague and I asked him how many beer he drink in a weekend night, he said 15 pints, which is 30 french beers! it is unbelievable how many they can drink... and believe me, although I thought that I was a big drinker, I quickly understood how it is difficult to drink with them!!!

The other main difference is the racism. the last time that I came back in france in my ridiculous little town, I went out of course, and after few hours in a ridiculous nightclub it was the time to go to bed, but to eat a pizza first, so a girlfriend bought a pizza and a group of young men all french, apparently of the same parent's origin, tried to have her phone number, they were quite rude, so I went to speak with them, very kindly, and basically they answered "shut up and fuck off" I am quite sure that if I didn't close my mouth, then they were violent...
I was shoked, just to see this kind of racism, quite ridiculous...
it's that I love in london, everybody are from everywhere (and not they parents or grandparents) but everybody are together without any interacial hatred, or scarcely any.

So far, So Good!!! I have lived in London since April 2008, I moved on my own, without speaking English or just hardly any words, and also without be a graduate, I came only with my rucksack, my suitcase and obviously some money to eat and pay my room few weeks. So When I arrived, I visited London first, I went out every night and everywhere, I spoke with everybody, so that I improved my English, by the way in a first time I didn't really understand what the people said to me, but without realize, I learnt a lot. After two or three weeks, I found a job in a great French bar restaurant, the kind of job unexciting, I needed some money to live anyway ... 3 days after starting my job as a kind of waiter, I knew all that I have to know, obviously it is not very difficult to know how to brought dishes to customers and also ask them if they want some bread, salt, mayonnaise or ketchup... subsequently the job got very boring, and definitely useless for me, so I tried to change and become a barman, more exciting I thought, (now I don't)... I asked one French barman who worked with me, and I told him that I contemplate to do the same work, he answered “after few months maybe you can”, in a pretentious way, he is the kind of guy from Paris who thinks he's the best and he knows everything,... funny enough isn't it? I told him “I am not dying to do barman, I am in London you know, so either I get a raising rank there soon or I will find a better job wherever soon” he answered “it's not so easy you will see” I answered “of course it is and you will see”... so then I understood that I have not any desire to work in a restaurant, so stressful, but especially because the working hours cut your life, and in a city like London it is the same to run at loss because I understood it is possible to work less for win more. In the meantime to get a better job, I found a solution to make the work amusing, so when I was working, I was drinking as well, so that I was tipsy and friendly with clients, and I got more tips but also broke more glasses lol...
A Friday thirteenth (it is a great day the 13th believe me!) while I was working, I was called by a manager who was looking for someone to work in his team, so he asked me if I could be interesting about that and of course I was! Could you imagine that, you are polishing glasses because it is your job, and you get an interview for another one in an office, but not a little one, at BNP Paribas UK, which is one of the biggest banks in the world. The following Monday morning I had my interview, I spoke about my formers jobs, and I learnt that I start the following day, Tuesday... I worked the Monday Afternoon in the restaurant, my last day in this fucking Restaurant! I really enjoyed it! And also I really enjoyed saying at the barman that I found a good job too.
In a first time I didn't truly realize what the new job was, and to be honest, that took three months for me to understand what it is exactly.

Comparing to before, I find my life in London plaising, maybe too much because I am only twenty years old and I can get or do almost things that I want. Fortunately I have grown up quickly here, because of my work which can't allow me the life that I had before. I found I have a lot respect on myself, and very principled as well. I am done with the time to take drugs, to do nonsense things without thinking, I don't need it anymore, and I am not feeling myself as before, I know what I can do, I know who I am, and who I don't want to be, honestly I am very proud of myself, and I hate all people who do nothing and only complain because nothing happen to them... almost people can achieve their life and their dreams in a good way; they just need to give of themselves, but also give to themselves the time to do correctly.
It is that I did, I gave of myself in order to allow myself to do what I want to do, but I has only focused about my work, and still I'm single and with hardly good friends in London. It is a bit oppressive, but in this city almost people are not very interesting (for me). It's very difficult to be far from my true friends, but it is a choice that I had to do; fortunetly I come back sometimes to see them and my family of course.

Lundi dernier j'ai été invité a un défilé de mode, je dois dire que c'était assez sympa, d'autant plus que le createur est un ami et que j'ai donc été invité aussi à la soirée after show, qui a été super aussi.
