Sain miam-miam a l'aeroport.

In the hotel. 19:52, but it feels like 3:52. 8 hours of difference.
A l'hotel. 8 heures de decalage horaire!

I can't believe it's raining! They say it does happen from time to time. Shocking!
Il pleut! Ils me disent que ca arrive parfois. Quel scandale!

American breakfast. (ah well...)
Petit dej americain. (bof)

Check out my ride!
Vise un peu ma bagnole!

American lunch. (I prefer Japanese food, to be honest)
Dejeuner americain (je prefere la bouffe japonaise!)

Everything is huge here.
Tout est enorme ici.

My car (second on the left) hardly looks out of place...
Ma voiture (deuxieme en partant de la gauche) ne deparait pas...

A couple of quickies:

So when you press the "lock" button on the car key the first time, it locks the car silently. It doesn't flash the hazard lights for instance, like I'm used to. But then if you press it again, it actions the horn! That really surprised the hell out of me the first time. That also means that busy parking lots are usually not really quiet places.

Internet access here is so expensive. $12 an hour (in Fedex Kinko's). Three years ago, I paid 1 euro the hour in Dublin. What a rip off.

Rapidement:

Quand tu presses le bouton "verrouiller" sur la clef de la voiture, ca verrouille silencieusement. Les clignotants ne clignotent pas pour confirmer, comme j'ai l'habitude. Quand tu presses encore, ca actionne le klaxon! Ca m'a vraiment surpris la premiere fois. J'ai eu l'impression de me faire engueuler par ma bagnole! Entre autres, ca veut aussi dire que les parkings ne sont en general pas ideals pour la sieste...

Internet est super cher ici. $12 pour une heure. Il y a 3 ans, je me souviens payer 1 euro l'heure a Dublin.
