Strasbourg by boat

Today I'm posting something about Strasbourg since this blog is called Strasbourgdaily, and I'll go on with my trip to Moldova tomorrow. This is a boat that you can take in order to visit Strasbourg by following l'Ill, the small river that crosses the city.

Walking soldier - Part II

Wait, dude! Everything has to be perfect!

Elections day in Moldova

Today, the population of the Republic of Moldova voted to elect their new president. We don't know much right now about who's going to succeed to Vladimir Voronin. Here's a picture of a graffiti that I took in Chisinau. It is the logo for an anti-communist organization. This inscription means PCRM, Communist Parti of Republica Moldova. We can notice on this picture the opposition from the two graffitis : the red one is a pro-communist, while the blue one is a liberal one.

Walking soldier

Look at the way that this Moldovian soldier is walking!

Chisinau's Memorial

This building is located in Chisinau, Moldova. It was built in order to commemorate all the foreign soldiers who died during World War II in Moldova. There are also a lot of couples who drop by the memorial with flowers on their wedding day. 

Some car getting arrested

People from Strasbourg have to pay attention to the place where they park their car, otherwise it will by taken by the police, who's hanging around the city this summer.

What a thin building !

It is located in Strasbourg, next to Place Broglie where you can find many fancy clothes shops, and this building quite reminds me of a scene in one of the Harry Potter movies...

The sun goes down...

Here is a pic that I took tonight when the sun went down in Chisinau, Moldova.

The LP Bear

This Teddybear is wearing a shirt with a "LP" logo on it, which means "Lausanne Palace". It is only available in this swiss palace, and by buying it, you will help some associations to help children from poor countries. I always carry LP with me, and as you can see, we're on vacation right now...

Flower

I like pictures of flowers with insects around them, here is one I took yesterday.

Sweet bread

Ok I know that bread is a french speciality but I saw this guy grilling a sort of sweet bread during my trip to Romania and thought it was interesting. 

Alsacian restaurant

Let's go on with typical French food! I chose this restaurant because it is charming and it is located next to some beautiful Alsacian houses. They'll serve you any speciality from Strasbourg that you'd like to have for lunch or dinner.

How many scoops?

"Christian" is one of the most famous bakeries in Strasbourg. They also make some delicious ice-cream. Yummy!

Romanian House

Sorry, but I'm not posting anything about Strasbourg today since I'm on vacation in eastern Europe. I saw this house during my trip to Romania and thought it was really cute.

Chillin'&Screamin'

I like the contrast between this man chilling on his seat and the woman screaming on the poster. I took this picture next to the river that crosses Strasbourg which is called l'Ill.

Strasbourg Beach

This small neighborhood near Place Brandt is called during the summer "Strasbourg Plage" , which is a pun on words refering to "Paris Plage". The difference is that there is actually no sand and no place to swim in Strasbourg!

Michael Jackson shirt

This dope shirt is a tribute to superstar singer and dancer Michael Jackson. It is inspired by the famous logo "I Love NY".

You can find some on Ebay, but also by writing an e-mail to this adress : ilovemj@live.fr

Le train voyageur

So many of you are foreigners, that's why I decided to write my posts in English. Sorry for the French!

This minitrain is proposed to every tourist visiting Strasbourg. It is actually very convinient during the summer because you wont get sunburnt using it, but you can also use many other transports like the tram or even the regular buses to visit the city.

La Petite France fleurie

Cette photo est prise sur la place Benjamin Zix où chaque touriste se rend pour admirer les  maisons Alsaciennes, chacune unique dans sa couleur, sa taille, et sa forme. Comme on le remarque, chaque maison est composée de branches parallèles et perpendiculaires. On retrouve également des maisons comme celles-ci en Allemagne.

Le soleil

Avec une chaleur pareille, personne n'ose marcher du côté ensoleillé de cette ruelle de la ville.

12.30 approche...

C'est à 12h30, l'heure du déjeûner, que de nombreux Strasbourgeois se réunissent à la terrasse de ce restaurant alsacien afin de profiter d'une belle journée ensoleillée.

Bac 2009 - Rattrapage

C'est aujourd'hui que de nombreux lycéens ont eu une seconde chance d'obtenir leur diplôme du baccalauréat.

Les couloirs du Lycée Marie Curie de Strasbourg étaient hantés par le stress et l'impatience...

Rafraîchisseur

Quelle bonne idée d'installer ces machines sur les terrasses de la Place Kléber, sans lesquelles nous ne serions pas à l'abris d'une insolation!

Kiosque à journaux

On trouve de nombreux Kiosques à journaux à Strasbourg, où de nombreux Strasbourgeois et touristes se précipitent pour acheter la presse quotidienne, mais aussi des cigarettes et autres goodies. Ces petits kiosques ont une autre allure la nuit, lorsqu'ils sont fermés...

Combination

Avant le mariage...

Chaque samedi, nous avons droit au même rituel dans les rues de Strasbourg. De jeunes fiancés vous abordent dans un costume ridicule et vous proposent toutes sortes de défis ou vous demandent simplement un peu d'argent.

Deux jeunes s'amusent

Je suis allée manger une glace chez Häagen-Dazs hier après-midi, et lorsque mon amie et moi avons tourné la tête vers la rue pietonne de la Cathédrale, nous avons aperçu ces deux jeunes qui s'amusaient à cracher sur les touristes. Welcome to Strasbourg!

L'Eau

N'oubliez pas de boire par cette chaleur!
