Paris

-




Paris is beautiful, but although all its beauty it is not a city for me. In this ocassion French people were gentle and friendly, my French was also not so bad as usual, but in spite of this there is no click between Paris and me. Of course I do enjoy being at Orsay and at the Pompidou and the French cuisine is ART. The last day we went to "Au pie du Couchon" and that dinner was really unforgettable.

C'est dommage! Moi j'aime bien Paris. Paris, la plus belle ville du monde (la plus belle ville d'Europe est Prague, bien sur!)... les p'tits cafés, les bistrots, les crèpes, les musées, les Tuilleries, le Louvre, les français, les françaises, la mode, les foulards, les grands bâtiments neoclassiques, l'Arc du Triomphe, la Défense, les croissants, les hommes en velo avec ses baguettes sous le bras... j'aime Paris...

Tu as raison Darth... Paris é très belle, peut être trop belle!

But I will make an analogy with men in order that you understand what I mean. Paris is for me a gorgeous man, he is such a beauty that I admire him and contemplate him, but my soul stays cold regarding him....although I notice all that beauty, that beauty doesn't incite me.

London and Berlin are not at all so handsome as Paris, but they have something that arouse me powerful.... a charm that touches me deeply, that makes me feel sooo alive and passionate.
In these cities I find "la joie di vivre!"

This weekend I went twice to the Royal Academy of Arts to the talks of Mexican Architects.  The first talk on Saturday was by architect Michel Rojkind. It was amazing, I liked very much the friendly and social approach to all of his projects, they are quite innovative and he thinks of people.  He is an excellent story teller and all the public was captured by his talk. He is a people person, and he reflects that in his architecture... the project that impact me the most was the on-site extension of la Cineteca Nacional. I loved this place since I was very young and used to live in Satélite; as I am a film lover remember driving every weekend there. Later I was lucky enough to live in Coyoacan so I travelled there by bike.  I was very impressed by the fact that Rojkind's project involves the whole area of the Cineteca, he includes the Archives in his plan and leaves the old Cineteca building untouched, giving tribute to the history of this old buildi...

A leap of faith

  13 years ago I took a leap of faith and came with my family to London.  I thought it was going to be easy. It was not. I thought that because during my youth I lived in another country, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. That other country was Germany, and since then I longed for Europe, well I confess I still do… because you should know, England is not Europe. Of course this is my very personal view. I was born in Mexico City, a vibrant and chaotic city. Mexico is a surreal beautiful country. When you are abroad you worth it even more. You might wondered then, why did we decide to leave Mexico?  Well, we decided to leave Mexico because my country was becoming very insecure. It was during president Calderon’s failed drug war. Mexico was so violent that we decided to migrate for the sake of our family.  I have been very lucky to be able to travel a lot during my lifetime. When I was a kid, I was two months in China. It was the China of Mao ...
