C'était un rendezvous...



Classic stuff... How to get to the Sacre Coeur within 8 minutes... From the Champs Elysees... And the scary part is... I don't think (judging from the age of the cars that flash by) there's any digital editing involved. Just a guy with nerves of steel and possibly shit for brains. It might also come in handy if you're lost in Paris and only have your laptop with you...


Okay, okay, the sound of the Ferrari engine has been added afterwards...

Life on board of an airplane was almost like a Roman food orgy. More stewardesses than passengers, more food than one could chew and alcohol was flowing as if there was no tomorrow. Finally a transportation method where it wasn’t merely allowed to get drunk, no, the stewardesses spent all their time and energy in actually getting you drunk. Ok, you had to wear a seat belt when landing and taking off, but during the flight it was one big party.
