Mangoustine and tea

On the way to Ben Tre, Vietnam, June 2009

Mangustin may be bought in Paris in the Chinese quarter: Avenue d'Ivry, 75013 Paris (Freres Tang Supermarché or any other asian shop on Avenue d'Ivry, Avenue de Choisy or nearby). However, the mangustin season is quite short (April/June I think...).

Pour Thomas

Ben Tre, 2009

Pas forcément mieux, mais plus mignon?
Merci encore pour le w-end à toi, Julie et merci pour ta vivacité face aux cafards mutants.
Un véritable héros, malgré tes speedos.

Joy Luck Club - The Ladies

Every tuesday, my 91 year old grand-mother has her friends come over for a whole day of mahjong, only interrupted by one little lunch break... (pic, Manila, 2009)

- there is a wonderful and beautiful 1994 movie called Joy Luck Club, from Wayne Wang and based on the novel of Amy Tan, about four women around a mahjong game, their destiny in China and the effects on their American daughters -
