One of my post generated too many memories from the past. I did not feel it coming.
The road not taken by Robert Frost:
“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood”

List of minor good things that happened last week:
1. Salary increase (6%)
2. Summer bonus (583 Euros).
3. Future bonus for 10 days in Seoul: 1000 Euros + 3 days off.
4. The elevator works.
5. The fire doors do not make noises anymore (really annoying).
6. My new car insurance was effective on June 29. I was a bit afraid of an accident before the transition
7. I checked my driving license and I still have 12 points. Somehow, if you pay your fine using stamps, it does not subtract the points. I did not stop at a red light (90 Euros + 4 points subtracted)

So before I take the plane to Seoul, South Korea on July 9. I will do 2 things:
1. Write my testimony.
2. Give my body to medical science.
I do not want to be used for testing but if someone needs parts of my body for medical reason, I will be happy to help. I also want my body to be burned. I do not want to be buried in small pieces :). My insurance will take care of the cost anyways.
According to french law, here are the 3 conditions to fulfill since I do not have children to write my testimony:
1. Write it all by hand
2. Give a precise date
3. Sign it.

It is catchy and it is nice to watch, it reminds me of the kid I was! According to Sis’, I am still a kid! I think it is good because the day I stop being a big crazy kid, I would be a sad, old and bitter man! Rather be crazy kid!

I think I will even save more with internet but I will wait for another month since I just switched.

I always enjoy smoked ham cooked on a grill however it is quite expensive 18 Euros/kg.
With a little shy smile, I told the woman in the store that I would like to buy the bone because it was sold half the price in another store and if she can do the same deal that would be great. The woman cut out the bone with a huge piece of meat for me. She wrapped it up and called her colleague and she asked her to set a price on the machine for “bones”.
We both smiled when we saw the price of the huge piece of bone with meat: 0.95 euros! She did not tell her colleague what she really did for me. She gave me a whole lot of meat almost for free.

I successfully changed the back tire of my bicycle. It had a hole. I thought it would be harder to put everything back but I managed. I am sore from the exercise.
It cost me 18.90 Euros!

I received a bonus for Summer vacation from my job: 583 Euros (after tax).
Since I bought the studio, I was careful and I wanted to save enough to be able buy a car and a laptop when the time comes. I almost saved enough to buy both now and it is tempting to buy a nice new gadget: an Ultra High Definition flat screen (4K) or an IPhone or a Samsung or a kick ass Asus desktop.
