Fontenay
Pictures
This is where the
story begins in januari 1998................

How
did I end up in Fontenay you might be asking yourself. Well there is one simple
explanation. I was doing an internship in town near Paris. So I wanted to
live as close to Paris as possible. I ended finding
a residence in Fontenay. I arrived at the end of january and left somewhere
in july. The pictures underneath here tell parts of the story.

This
first picture is of a BBQ we organized somewhere around May. Nice warm
wheater and DJ Perry was sticking on some groovy tunes to go with a
great dinner and lots of fun...........

Second
picture of the BBQ. This is ud relaxing, sitting in the sun to get a
nice tan and drinking a couple of beers. We would play a couple of games
of table tennis and enjoy the great wheater. "Summer summer summer
time......."

This
is a picture taken during the visit of my brother and friends somewhere
in April. We went out that whole weekend and got really hammered! This
photo was taken during the birthday of a greek fellow resident called
Dimitrios.

Another
photo of that evening but then with Laura who also lived at the fontenay
residence but in another house. She and Dimitrios were close friends
and visited lots of museums and operas.

Now
for some photos of other residents from other houses. This photo contains
one of my room mates, Robin. He arrived at the same time as me and
we shared rooms together for some time. He left after a couple of
week to return to the UK. Next him are Dolores and Christophe.

This
is the Spanish clan from Fontenay. Some of the guys used go and play
football with us on a pitch near 'Bois de Vincennes'. They also provided
excellent 'sangria' for our parties!

Yvonne,
Milena and Ulf. Ulf was really something. He was always in for a party
and did not study to much, I suppose. Most of the time he was fooling
around and drinking beer with a good friend of his, we all well know
as Nicolas! They were known as the 'food' thiefs of Fontenay.

Another
room mate of mine on this photo. Miko and I shared a room for a couple
of weeks before he returned to Finland. He worked in a hotel somewhere
in Paris. Nice guy but I did not get to know him that well. He left
me a nice coat though. One with big pockets and a capuchon. I used
it to go out with. I looked like a clochard wearing it. I would put
bottles of liqor in my pockets so we could have a drink on our way
to the pub!! As where Philip used his little tandplax bottle to carry
some very good whisky with him!

Massimiliano
the womeniser and José again. As I remember they used to play
backgammon together. They were competing eachother. Max also used
to go out and play football with us. He was a good striker. After
a couple of months he moved to Cité Universitiare in the south
of Paris. He kept attending our parties and we had good fun and interesting
conversations!

Me
and david. another resident and 'football' player. I don't know what
he was actually doing there. Actually I don't know zilch about him.
He was nice, well at least to me he was.

Giovanni
a real Itallian guy from Milan. He helped us out big time with the
BBQ by getting a BBQ from the guards of the residence!

Ulf
eating whipped cream.........Ulf returned to Germany somewhere in
April. But he came back to visit us in june. He stayed over for a
couple of days and we went out all together. Just like the 'old' days........
