LA CHOUCROUTE


“La choucroute” is very famous in France and especially in the North France, nearby
Germany. Actually, the word “choucroute” comes from the German language, sürkrüt ( I
don’t know how to pronounce !!), which means the acid cabbage . The cabbage is grated
and mixed with small pieces of meat, including sausages, ham, and also some vegetables like potatoes. In fact, this meal looks like a big stack of white cabbage with a mountain of meat pieces with a particular smell..
Usually, people use to eat that, during the very cold days in France and especially in the
north, like I “Strasbourg” , a very cold city in order to get warm and defeat the cold temperature... There are not some special days to eat a plate of choucroute, but for the meat fanatics, taste it, and you will love it !!

"AS RELIGIOUS STIFE GROWS, EUROPE'S ATHEISTS SEIZE PULPIT" from the Wall Street Journal...


According to Michel Onfray, a famous French philosopher, a new phenomenom is happening in Europe, called the Atheism. Actually, this new phenomenom is growing very fast, leaving Europe's churches mostly empty.
In fact, the religion has become a real problem in the society, because of the anxiety over Europe's growing and restive Muslim populations and also, a fear that faith is reasserting itself in politics and public policy. This is why, Europe is stuggling between belief and nonbelief, involving a battle to define the identity of a continent.
Europe's atheist campagners have also made a splash in America, leading to some antireligious treatise, such as "God is not great : How religion poisons everything", written by Christopher Hitchens, a British atheist....

This article, is very complex, because it's difficult to talk about religions, knowing that each person has his own conviction. But it's true, that more and more, the world has been touched by a new kind of belief, which is the atheism !! The atheism is not considered as a religion, but as the fact to do not beleive on god !! It's become a kind of problem, especially in Europe, because more and more people, choose this new phenomenon and make some campaigns in order to promote their ideas, criticizing the other religions !

So, this is "La Defense" ,the business district in Paris .. As you can see, this part of Paris looks like a small part o Manhattan in NYC..

In this district, you can find the most famous companies like EDF, which is the electricity company in France, like Hydro Quebec here, in Montreal ..

The World Trade Center, which have been distroyed the 9/11/2001.. designed by Minoru Yamasaki.

The twin towers, with 110 floors rising 1,353 feet, ... (are) the tallest in the world. From observation decks at the top of the towers it...(is) possible to see 45 miles in every direction....One distinct advantage of the project's enormity is the architectural opportunity to advance the art of building.

We miss them... because they were a real sign of American power !!

This is the Eiffel tower in Paris (my hometown !!)

I don't really know if we can considered this tower as a skyscraper even though..

Anyway, the tower project was a bold extension of this principle up to a height of 300 metres - equivalent to the symbolic figure of 1000 feet. On September 18th, 1884 Eiffel registered a patent "for a new configuration allowing the construction of metal supports and pylons capable of exceeding a height of 300 metres".

So it's maybe enough high to be a skyscraper, isn't it ?
