Dinner timeout in Paris

I have to confess that I have been born and grown-up in France. So, if you are a regular visitor you may have noticed some of the classic french carateristics through my former posts. I am quite arrogant, over-convinced of european cultural legacy to the world, contemptuous and narrow-minded.

No more search engine, please !

Ford used to say that if you had asked people in the middle of the nineteenth century what would want to increase their Journey, they would have replied “faster stagecoach”. I think, that some entreprenors (and the stokeholders that follow them) are mistaking the same way.
