(Note: In France, they celebrate Christmas and give presents in the evening of 24th December. They can’t have a big, drunk, messy, Christmas celebration like we do on the 25th because they don’t have Boxing Day, 26th December is a working day for them – Cheryl) Christmas as a Child We all remember our family […]

A – Z of Olivier
This is Olivier’s A – Z of himself, just so you can get to know him better! In French, it matches the alphabet perfectly, but when it’s translated into English, it’s not going to be A – Z. So, I’ve left the French here for you, and written the English translation below. Enjoy! Je suis : […]
Living with Vodka in Russia
Do you remember? In the article on beer, I told you that I liked to drink beer with my Russian rocker friends in Russian bars, because there’s also vodka, and sometimes it changes the course of the evening.
