Dillemma

I turned down the job offer. 
Although I was very interested in the position and I was willing to go but the area was very particular that didn't suit me and could potentially affect my health - as a result I had to turn down.


On top of that, we like living here in the south. 
We felt relieved not to leave this place, however, I am not sure whether my decision was right.


I felt lucky to make a visit the area before accepting the offer.  Had I not visited the area, I would have accepted the offer not knowing the situation.
I would never known whether I had made the right decision.... my job hunting continues.

Minitel

Minitel is the first home computer like in France before the internet. You'd have Yellow Page or train / flight information and many more.


This is the one my grand mother-in law has in her house, it's been there unused for quite sometimes, as she uses internet now.


I've always wanted to take a photo just to show, as I have never seen the kind before but the contents looks similar to the teletext on TV in the UK. Since the internet has become a norm for sometimes, apparently the Minitel services will be completely closed by the end of June this year... 

Happy new year!

Hope whoever read my blog continue reading it and finds it interesting.

2012's the year of Dragon.

I don't know what it signifies but i hope there won't be any natural disasters this year. And particularly those who'd been affected by the catastrophies, my thoughts are always with you and hope that everyone keep's their chin up and be positive despite the difficulties in lives.

There's always warm spring coming after the harsh cold winter.

My mum often told me this old saying.

Has anyone made this year's resolution? Me, i'd rather not to mention it here but leave it blank so that it reminds me l when I re-read it.

5th year in France this year! I should be proud of myself coping with French people and some systems but I'm beginning to feel much more comfortable here.
