The past 2 months went in a fast paced mode, thankfully given the . And finally reaching the shores of a lake. So, a post in pictures

Neuchâtel
On bended knees, is no was to be free. Facing the challenges I am always eager to meet in my personnal (setting up somewhere else) and professionnal (moving away from the ultra stable world of aerospace) life. I am very much challenges. Time will be the best assessor of my spirit.
And kind of a feeling from the French I cannot forget, I finally opened a swiss bank account. Love the feeling.
Here what welcomed me as i stepped inside the hotel of neuchatel, a magazine called la cote Genève, number 61, with an insert about a guy I haven't read since reading his books 8 years ago, and kind of feeling a vibe behind the lines I might enjoy:

Frédéric Beigbeder will host the event for the second time : « It’s your own version of the Oscars ! How could I say no ! «. It might also be a nice diversion : in the midst of the hubbub surrounding the parliamentary debates about a possible law aiming at punishing clients of prostitutes, Frédéric Beigbeder caused a ruckus with the publication of his « manifesto » Don’t touch my whore, in which Beigbeder and his acolytes hope to broadcast their opinions regarding what they see as a certain ambient French conformity and political correctness. It’s not surprising how popular he’s become in the French media... So is Beigbeder a rebel of the French Republic ? Sitting before him, it’s almost hard to believehe could be such a man, as he gracefully welcomes us. We start slowly with questions about his new job as editor-in-chief of the magazine Lui. With a myriad of magazines today, we couldn’t imagine how one dedicated to revealing pictures of pretty girls could possibly fit in. Is this Frédéric Beigbeder’s reactionary side ? In any case, it is an undeniably nostalgic endeavour, and a spur-of-the-moment decision – Beigbeder repeatedly claims to have bought the magazine in a flight of fancy, the consequence of « a childish whim. » Bingo ! The first edition sold 300,000. Is it just a matter of curiosity ? Perhaps, though it must also be more than that, since the second edition sold around 180,000 copies. « It was a whim, but it turned out well, » he smiles. « We wanted to start a magazine that would fight against the world’s apathy ». Anti-blues, anti-crisis and anti-depression – is that also why Beigbeder started campaigning about the MagdaAntoniuk delicate subject of prostitution ? « I did it because I’m a masculinist and I want to defend the rights of heterosexual men who are lost, and who are slowly becoming extinct. » Must you really fight against feminism to fight for men ? « I’ve become accustomedto the scandal anyway ». So is Beigbeder an agitator of minds unbeknownst to himself, or is he simply a man who is passionate enough to defend his ideas ? He seems fairly indifferent to this media stormand remains firmin his position as a defender of the private sphere. « It’s completely hypocritical. I’m happy with the decision I made. You know, that’s one of the things I like about the Swiss media. You’re much less prone to hypocrisy than the French. »
