Tonight, new photos are available on the forum.
This time, you are going to see a few photos taken in Sceaux. I talked to Maher and he told me he knew this town, but I guess it's not the case of humbert, Vasudev and shadow.97.



Here you can see a few photos taken in the street Houdan in the center of Sceaux.




On the left, you can see a butchery.


In the rue Honoré de Balzac

I had no idea Maher had been to France, let alone Sceaux. In any case, what's so special about Sceaux that's worth the trip?

Well, when i talked to Maher on whatsapp he told me he knew this town and he precised that he even knew how to read it right and said that it was unusual for non French speakers.
For information you pronounce it like the word "saw". Note that you could write it "Seau, Ceau or So", the pronunciation in French would be the same. By the way, the word "seau" exists in French (it's a bucket).
Actually there is nothing special in Sceaux, besides its park, which is probably one of the most beautiful in Ile de France.
Actually, I'd like to buy an apartment here (for a house it's incredibly expensive), but the price of the real estate is particularly high in Sceaux.

Here is a photo taken in Antony this morning. You can see a traffic jam, on the avenue de la division Leclerc.
If you think there are too many cars in town (or not enough), you can give your opinion. The situation might be different in San Antonio, Islamabad, Jakarta or Cairo.
(And I say that but I used a car to go to Antony - my car is the grey one in the foreground). Actually I was there because I bought a new ecigarette (A "voopoo Drag S").

Tonight, I will hold an exceptional conference to post new photos on the forum. I know that humbert, Vasudev, shadow.97 and aa1234779 are looking at the photos carefully.
You will discover some photos taken in the 14th arrondissement, the 18th arrondissement and the 7th arrondissement of Paris.

Here are some photos taken in the 14th arrondissement.
Here you can see the place of Catalogne in the foreground. In the background, you can see the Montparnasse train station on the left and the prominent Montparnasse tower on the right.


On the Bvd Pasteur (actually in the 15th arrondissement). In the background, you can see the Eiffel tower.




Some photos taken in the 18th arrondissement.

On the Boulevard de Clichy







In the Rue Lepic. 





A graffiti in the rue Robert Planquette



At the corner of rue Lepic and rue Veron



At the corner of rue Lepic and rue des Abbesses. On the left you can see a beggar.



At the corner of rue Lepic and rue Tholoze. In the background you can see the dome of the Hôtel des Invalides. Dalida's home in the next street (rue d'Orchampt).
Apparently you can drink some good vin chaud in the restaurant on the right.



The moulin de la galette


Here you can see a small vineyard, on top of the Montmartre hill (The wine production is low, only a few hundred bottles a year).






In the 7th arrondissement

On the Esplanade of the Invalides.



The army museum, known as les Invalides.

Just curious. Does Maher speak French and/or do you speak Arabic? Or do you use English?

We use English.
I don't speak Arabic. There is no evidence that Maher speaks French even if I have a few clues. And I don't even know if Maher speaks Arabic after all, even if he's in a place where Arabic is usually spoken.

I've spoken to Maher about 2-3 times. I also use English.

Arabic is Maher's first language. It's pretty much the lingua franca of the Middle East and North Africa. At times he gave me brief classes on reading the Arabic alphabet. His keyboard is a regular English keyboard most of us use, and yet he says he hotkeys to Arabic and types it fast and without looking at the keys. One thing I envy about him isn't so much that he's fluent in 3 languages (Arabic, English, Russian), but that he can read and write in 3 different alphabets. Most of us except maybe Vasudev and Daniil are stuck on the Latin alphabet  :(

If you are referring to the qwerty keyboard, then don't include me,I use an azerty keyboard.

As far as Vasudev is concerned, I don't know what kind of keybord is used India but I assume Daniil uses a Cyrillic keyboard.
