Ads... that's a big market, but why would you push to sell something to some people that dont even care about your products or services ?
We are used to that kind of shit for quite a long time now... ads in your mailbox, ads in your email inbox... why does some companies still do that, when some other fights against spams, and most of "customers" throw the papers directly to the garbage ?
When will they understand that it cost them more money and give them a bad reputation to do a bad advertisement campaign, rather than a good and smart one ?
I though about that when seeing this shared article, Twitter spamming your account to finally make some money ? no thank you
Oh you, smart people, paid a lot, when will you understand ?
What if WE were the problem ?
Question : why couldn't we act in France the same way we do somewhere else ?
After living in Québec, I've found that things were easier, find a flat, a job, go out, restaurants, open a bank account (yeah 15 minutes with no rendez-vous and it's done) ect... and then I moved to Australia.. and there same experience : easy, a bit expensive because of the currency, but we cant control that, and it's not aussies' fault, neither the government's (just the american's one finally lol)
And there, traveling a bit, while in Alice Springs, that question comes to me ! is that my fault ? our fault ?
It though about that when I was wondering how so many french people were able to travel that much if they dont have any cash ? because there are french people everywhere !!! even in Alice springs, lost place in the middle of the furthest country ever ! please explain me how !
So yeah in my mind, it's the society's fault, governments', whatever... but could it be just a perception's issue ?
Is my biggest challenge, if I go back to France, would be to deal with problems the same way I did in Canada and Australia ?
What do you think ? Just being far from France that long made me forget problems (what i though it was the first times i went back) or did it makes me realize that I could play with my own rules ?

Travel briefing
Traveling is fun ! that's my last 3 weeks around Australia :) but i'm glad it's finished tho ! because i'm broke, need to go back to work now and save for the next trip :)
And thanks to Google Latitude that's keeping track for me, I can see I've already done one third, it's quite a long way to go but i'll get there sometime ! (wish they would have start the service before, I'd be even further at this time :)
But you know, I got plans ! And I hope to do the blue part in 2012 (which will be hard to do), it's gonna help me getting to the moon !
Where are YOU going this year ? ;)

Alternative life?
A friend, that i talk about society and other stuffs with, asked me if the year that I spent in Australia made me find a way to live in a way more alternative... and even if we spoke about that before, I've started to think about it again to be able to give her an updated answer.
Indeed I've learned a lot during this year, about other ways to live, other ways to "work", but I've learned that you can't totally leave that society because even if you don't buy the last gadget, follow the last trend, you still need to, at least, pay your taxes, and if you want a minimum of comfort, which is understandable, you'll have to pay for some energy sometime...
So, being a hippie is not the easiest thing to do nowadays! You'll always need to either work for a bit of money,or have a kind of business whatever it is.. the question is, which one will fit with that kind of life style, more relax, more social, maybe "greener", less boring than a office or shop job...
I got quite an idea at the moment.. but I'm not sure it'd work well in France's (Europe's?) economic situation that's getting worse and worse.. and people won't be able to cut the rope with their small habits, prefabbed by TV brainwashing machine.. they forgot that living is "experiencing something new" and not "buying something new"..
Do you have any comments? Suggestions?
Here's a picture I took this morning in Sarina btw :)

Cairns, north Queensland :)
Alright, Alice Springs is warm and dry, Cairns is warm and wet! U feel the humidity directly after the first step out of the plane!
But it's a nice small city to visit, rain forest walks, scuba diving, snorkeling and sky diving can be done there, so you can keep yourself busy!!
It's really touristic and there are backpackers everywhere. But there's no beach! Yep the coast is not really the best to chill in the sand and crystal blue water.. mud and brown water is what's waiting for you there.. but in the middle of the city, right aside the ocean, there's a public swimming pool, with some sand benches and that's really cool!
We stayed only few days and we did some snorkeling which was really great! Colorful fishes, turtles, giant clams were here to give us a nice time :)
Australia's centre
We jump in a shuttle going to one of the backpacker "in town" and we arrive in a cosy, relax backpacker named Annie's place, quite cheap, but good value, a swimming pool, free Wi-Fi what else do we need?
Arrivée a Adélaide
La construction est très rectiligne et pré-conçue comme beaucoup de villes nouvelles sans contraintes géographiques particulières. Malgré ça, il y a pas mal de bâtiments "historiques", j'ai pensé a Montpellier, le côté sudiste, relaxe, pas trop gros.. la plage accessible par tram...
Nous rendons le van aujourd'hui et partons demain pour Alice springs pour 2 jours.. puis Cairns.. peut être on va aller voir le gros caillou ;)
