The lovely Famagusta beach shot with my mobile in the northern part of Cyprus

I arrived this afternoon to Malta, during our landing the weather was cloudy, once the Boeing 777 touched the Valletta airport runway, an unbelievable rain started pouring. They are expecting tomorrow to be much worse than today.
When I arrived to the hotel, I shot this short video with my mobile, it is the street just facing the hotel, water was everywhere!

You can not go to Morocco without having a walk on the Corniche facing the Atlantic Ocean. Still summer season did not start but you can always enjoy the sea breazzz.

I have landed yesterday at 13:00 in Skopje Airport, another place to be added to my list of visited countries.
So my new score is now 35 out of 193.

Policemen in Turkey are happy today, because it is their annual “Police Day” and they were having a parade on Taksim Square in Istanbul, so few streets behind the square they were preparing to hit the parade, so i got these 2 pictures.

To my knowledge, almost 80% of the kids starting school in Lebanon, go to French schools like myself and everyone i know around me and during these school years english courses are taken. On the other hand, when they reach university level, most of the Lebanese prefer to go to english universities because of their courses system, called the American system.

Yesterday something caught me regarding the difference of letters quantity between french and english words with same meaning, below are the famous three ones I got:

Maintenant (10 letters) = Now (3 letters)
Prochainement (13 letters) = Soon (4 letters)
Aujourd’hui (10 letters) = Today (5 letters)

And while writing this post, something also came up but vice-versa

Yesterday (9 letters) = Hier (4 letters)

Allez les Bleus & Vive la France !!!
