    *Taking shots while aboard train… photo courtesy of novem..

    *Late arrival in the train station of Nancy… reception at M. J.C. Etoile Hall w/ choir Croqu’ Notes (the group assisted us for the whole event.)

    *Flags from participating countries - Germany, Saudi Arabia, Bulgaria,Finland, Lituania, Spain, Mongolia, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Russia & Sweden

    *Our Mama Josephine preparing our first dinner. We (together w/ my buddy -Jonar) stayed at their house in Chavigny (outside Nancy) for 6 days. She’s an Italian married to a French man (Papa Joseph), she speaks a little bit of Spanish so we really never had a hard time on communication unlike our other choirmates whom their foster parents speak French language only hehehe… :) But sometimes, if she really don’t know how to explain… she showed us some photos of the things, for us to understand.

    *Wheww… 1st she gave us biscuits and wine. My buddy told me, “I’m really hungry, I need real food.” After an hour or more, we are full already… no place for the food. Even if there’s no rice (can live w/o it), food is great. Later on we learned that she’s a cook in a restaurant before, a couturier now. Wine is prohibited that time but still I drink… not much… hmmm a bottle only :)

    *A view from living room… a foggy afternoon…

    *Country side… I really love the place…

    Wheww this is the second time that my entry post was lost together with the comments… This entry was originally posted last July 9.

    The response of my host when I brought this issue to them:
    *****
    “Currently we are facing a file system abort and that we are working to restore the service as soon as possible. We will advise you once everything is ok. We had 10 server crashed and that we were able to restore only what we have in our backups. I apologize for this but that is the latest we could get.We are currently performing an emergency maintenance on some of our servers. If you notice that your website is down, then more likely the server you are hosted is affected.

    Thank you for your patience on this issue.”

    Sigh… I forgot to backup.
