Anyway, back to your beautiful photographs. If ever I come to your part of the world, I am definitely going to give you a call to meet up. Everything I read about you and see in your photos really represents a wonderful and interesting lady. You have such a colourful life and the most adorable smile, and you take the most amazing photographs. Zhu you have always been a true inspiration. I am so glad that our paths have crossed.

These photographs are no exception. My favourite is the #4 in the cafe. You two are the perfect couple and look so very happy together. I love sitting in a cafe drinking coffee or wine and watching the world go past outside whilst reading a newspaper.

As always, this is a truly wonderful interpretation of the theme

@Agnes – Thank you!

@Seb – It depends which coffee actually. I dislike American coffee, which is for me brown hot water. But an Expresso in Italy… I can drink that!

@Seraphine – We are a tricky bunch. Just doN,t tell anyone

@Lizz – Thank you! I took the picture in Paris this year.

@Khengsiong – I think it’s a bit of a cliché. Most French know at least two foreign languages from school — it’s compulsory. Now, they are probably not fluent but chances are, they can express themselves.

@Caroline – Thank you!

@Adem – Learning language is fun and quick if you need it. I know quite a few people who thought they would never learn, and then suddenly they take a holiday or go travel and they learn fast!

@Scarlet – Si, hablo espanol tambien.

@Baoru – Not really… I mean, there are cool cafés in Canada too! Paris is a great place to visit, not so great to live in my opinion.

@Tulsa Gentleman – Ah, Feng… My travel partner, my… how do you say in English? Oh, husband! He is the only person I know who likes traveling even more than me. I *had* to keep him! He is Canadian and one of the reason I settled there.

I know it’s not really too late, but it all seems like too much hard work…
