β β β β β β β β β β PART I
1: How long have you been a member of PPG and is it what you expected? What are the things that you like the most?
I'm a member of Ppg for more than 5 years : I used to write my personal profile in german because I wanted to meet german people and I met many nice people from the whole world and one of them even became my new wife ! ( she's german ).
2: It says on your profile that you live in Bordeaux and that you used to live in San Francisco. What do you think is the nicest of these two cities? And if you would live a third city, what would you choose?
Concerning the places I'm living now and where I used to live , well Bordeaux is my birth city and it is often considered by many french people as the most beautiful town in France after Paris because of its old monuments ( it is a 2 thousands years old lady and a unesco one since 2008 ! ). I used to live in San Francisco Bay Area in 1993 and San Francisco is also a very beautiful City but on a different way and I really loved the spirit of tolerance that I used to know there at that time.
If I had to live in a third City, I would like to live again in Berlin : I used to live there in 1990 before the german reunification and I really loved the village spirit of every borough of this giant city.
3: What kind of work do you do and do you like it? Did you also have other jobs earlier?
I'm selling new cars and cars of the year from the Renault and Dacia trademarks to privates, corporate societies and local administrations and I m working directly for the car maker, I mean Renault Group.
I'm selling cars since 1998 and I like my job which really knows a very strong and very fast evolution at the present time with the electrifycation move.
4: What kind of penpals do you like to write with? And what topics do you like to talk about?
Concerning the kind of penpals I like to write with, well I like to write to all sorts of people wherever they come from; whoever they are and whatever they think even about me because I m very curious, tolerant and I accept very much being criticized ! Concerning the topics, I like to talk about on Penpal, well it's very wide : languages, tourism, food, economics, cars, history and politics and surfing.
5: What are your hobbies? Do you have a lot of time for your hobbies or not enough? And what were your hobbies when you were in high school?
Concerning my hobbies : well my favourite hobby when I got time and when weather gives me the opportunity to practise it is bodyboarding and I'm doing it since I'm 8 ! I also like going for a walk in the forest, running, biking. learning foreign languages on Duo Linguo app ( german and polish languages ), chatting with foreign friends on Whattsapp and reading.
When I was an high school student, I had exactly the same hobbies as now except that internet and smartphones did not still exist at that time and I used to like very much writing real letters to foreign people.
