Following the plight of a lonely graffiti penis who ‘can’t get no love’ in his local tag-laden public toilet animation king Yohan Lemoine mixes the right amount of humour with an important message to produce a funny and memorable spot.

Swap homes???

Ok, so this service is definetely not for me since I do not own a mansion on a deserted island or hidden in the fields of Provence, but I found it cool and perhaps you reader have a beautiful luxurious house or flat somewhere in this world that you'd like to swap with someone who owns a property in Thailand or Brazil... who knows?

The web is very easy to navigate, visiting the photos of the properties is fantastic (makes you dream!) and membership is not at all that expensive: 225 UK pounds a year.

Hopefully someone will start the same business but with middle range properties, I'd be delighted to participate!!!

Favorite comics I

Every time I travel to Brussels I stop at my favorite comic book's store in the city center and I buy two or three books from authors I hardly know but that somehow grab my attention for some reason.

This Xmas I bought two books, kind of romantic but in complete different ways.

The first one is called 'Au temps de l'amour' (In time for love), from the Japanese writer and illustrator Yamaji Ebine. The drawings are so beautiful that they captivated me the first minute I saw it. I've read the entire manga on the plane on my way back to Barna. For a preview, please click here (bear in mind that you shold flip the pages from the end to the beginning, just like in Japan).

The other book I bought is called Rosalie Blum and it belongs to Camille Jourdy's aclaimed trilogy. The story and illustrations are amazing. I'm reading the first book entitled 'Une impression de déjà-vu' (A feeling of déjà-vu) and I'm already excited about starting the second and third books.
