A new old life or a new odd life? That’s hard to tell. I’m back from my first day at work and it struck me in the tube (oops… metro) that I’m back in Paris but in a completely new fashion.

It’s my first job in an established company (Mindshare, a media-planning agency of WPP – not too bad for my start-up loaded CV).
It’s my first job where the female:male ratio is more than one (Vive les media!).
It’s my first job for which I take a train (still in Paris transportation map “zone 2” though - *relief*).

It’s my first job with air-con. A smart move considering France is so hot right now – in a sense, I am preparing for my move to California.

If you read my blog more or less regularly, you will have notice the gap between my last London post and this entry. I haven’t fallen through a space-time continuum breach in the Eurostar (though I considered blogging from the cab and the train on my way back home).

I just chilled out. :) Playing Vice City on the PS2, fixing stuff home, redecorating a bit, finding space (back) for my stuff in the flat… And a nice week-end of cooking BBQ and watching the Godfather trilogy at the family country house.

Anyway, don’t worry, I’ll keep blogging, especially as I need to keep my English to the level I reached – and I like it.

Finally, being back in Paris has great advantages, first of which is living full-time with my wife (are you calling me a hypocrite?) in our flat. It isn’t a life as “new” as I expected but I have faith in my career and location switching “MBA goals”.

Have to leave now – dinner at mom’s (another plus on my list).
