i want to go to england in holidays someday = )

don't know england enough to tell... except that i'd
definitely pick england for music - out of my music
collection, there are only 2 cds by french artists/bands but
dozens of english ones

since i'm a vegetarian, i'm not a fan of french food...
about girls, i don't know about english ones, but there are
pretty ones in france anyway (more in paris from what i
remember). but it must be something in my head, i don't know
why the girls would be prettier in paris than in colmar.

paris, ghislain poirier, some rap compilations, mc solaar,

cam, telepopmuisc, mirwais, kid loco (i think 3 albums by
him),...plenty more...infact when i think about it i must

they do, but ever hear of the phrase "lost in translation" i
cant give you answer based on what is tranlated into
english.

In Chile (I don't know about other spanish speaking
countires) the film "Lost in Translation" was translated as
"Lost in Tokyo" (or "Perdidos en Tokio") so, that's like,
the title, "Lost in translation" was lost in translation.

yes, but one thing is quick translations...for films,
magazines, and such. but it's totally different when people
translate literature. people who do that are usually
literats themselves, and they study about the origianl
artists all their life...getting to know them through their
work, through their contemporaries...basically (if they're
good) they get to know the artist very good before they
start translating him. all you need to do, is to find out
who's good at translating...someone who's not doing it only
for the money.

the thing is, english is very poor language for literature,
so that might be a problem. i guess im lucky coz my language
is very literary.
