Final of the "Copa Libertador" : Boca (BsAs) vs Gremio (Puerto Allegre, Brasil)
I don't have a lot of thing to tell about today. I could only tell you about the football final game between Boca and Gremio.
These two teams were playing for the final of the Libertador Cup, wich is the same as the final of ours Champions league. I think the level of football is better in europe, but for the public, it's not possible to compare the both. The ambiance in the stadium, and the passion of the public is incredible. It's really not the same as in Europe, or in France, in stadium of Paris Lyon or Marseille. It's really insane.
It's also a little bit dangerous when you are in the middle of the popular platform, as we did. We thought that the ambiance would be better, but there were to much people compared to tha capacity of the platform... It was so crazy when boca goals, three time in the game.
After the game, all the city was crazy. It was the same as in France, when the french team won the world cup in 1998. I can't imagine how it is when the national team win!!! Of course, after the game, in the hostel, we did a party ven if Boca is not the tean we support. I went to bed very tired but happy about this day.

Quite beginning
I arrived in Buenos Aires (BsAs) after nearly than 22 hours of travel, and I began the travel very quietly.
I took a bus for going in the downtown of BsAs and walked untill my hostel. It was funny to see all the people looking at me because I was carrying my two backpacks. But at least, i should take the bus, but i didn't think that the hostel was so far! After 3 or 4 km, i arrived at the Milehouse hostel. It is at the corener between Av. Mayo and Av. 9 de Julio, it's impossible to be more in the dowtown than here, and it's very closed to all i need.
I put my backpaks in the dorm where the other travelers are still sleeping, it's 4pm. I go to bed too and i'll wake up at 10pm, so too late for doing anything, and the best is to keep on sleeping.

D-1 : Visit of Paris
For those who didn't know, my world trip began in France, in Paris.
I told Jeanne, a freind of mine, to organise for me a visit of Paris. And she succeed with a wonderfull day. We took a bike, what is the best way for visiting a city. I saw all the main monuments of the capital, and after we went to a "vodka-party". I woke up only two hours before my plane!!!
I saw, not in the order (and with the french name because i don't now how to say in english) : The Champs Elysee, The Arc de Triomphe, The Invalides, The Eiffel Tower, The Mars Camp, The Concorde place with its famous obelisc, the Vendome place and the Opera.
It was impossible to see everything, but it was a lot!!! and i felt very tired after riding all the day! And now, i could say to the other tourist i will meet that Paris is a very beautiful city.

D - 5 !!!
Only 5 days before the departure !!!!
The pressure is under me now. In a few days, I'll leave France for more than 2 years, I'll leave my family and my friends... That's a very strange feeling, I'm looking at all like I wouldn't see it again in my life. I'm thinking about my friends, they'll change during these 2 years, and I'll change as well.
I'm thinking about Fiona, I saw her when she was a new born baby , and she will run everywhere and speak when I'll come back. She won't recognize me...
But now I have to finish the preparation of the trip. All is ready but I'm wondering if i won't forget anything. I have some correspondance to send, but it's only because I always do the things at the last moment. And I have to finish the english webpage. I've already pack all my clothes and tomorow i will dismount my pieces of furniture, and my room will be empty.
This departure don't looks like the others, when I left France for travelling only for 3 or 4 weeks, or when I took my plane for going to Canada for my last year of studies. I'm under the impressure that it will be a imprtant change in my life, which would never be the same after. I'm going to unknown places and experiences for the next 2 years, and i begin to be nostalgic for all the thing i don't leave yet...

I know that, the construction of this webpage isn't very fast, but I have a lot to write, in French and in English, and I've a lot of things to do too!!
In addition, i'm not very good with computer so be patient
I don't want you to find the time too long, so look at some pictures I took in Galapagos islands, in the summer in 2005.
Have a good time
