I really didn’t plan on writing this but apparently, things like this happen in L.A.! About one hour ago, we were forced by policemen to evacuate our apartment because… apparently there is a bomb in our street! You really can’t imagine the impression it is to have a policemen knocking at your door in the middle of the night and pushing you away from your apartment, then running out of a perimeter in pyjamas, then trying to find a taxi, then trying to find an hotel to crash while one of the most populated area in L.A. is being evacuated… So we were obliged to spend 200 bucks to get a room somewhere, but at least now we’re at the Marriott! We were lucky because we were closest to the “supposed” bomb so we were the first building of a whole boulevard to be evacuated, so we found an hotel quite rapidly… I really can’t complain, people who were in the towers during 9/11 would have loved to be moved on time…
More to come in a few hours, I really hope that this is a false alarm and that I’ll be back to my apartment tomorrow morning…
Update: Of course it was a false alarm, and I can go back to my apartment. I could even have done that 2 hours after evacuating apparently, but they probably prefer to be cautious… All the story here. At least the night at the Marriott was really nice 
Update n°2: After going back to our apartment, we decided to go outside to shop and… same scenario, with cops everywhere, streets shut down…you wont believe it but it was another bomb alarm, two on the same day!! All the (second) story here. I will definitely need to get used to that… They evacuated a whole building, and now the traffic is back to normal.

Fidji and the cyclones, Fidji and the bombs, wouah…another story? More to read in this blog…
(it is sure that in our native town, events aren’t at all of the same type…)
Eheh, at least your comment made me laugh a lot! I definitely have a thing for choosing the cities where I want to live… I should have fallen in love with Netherlands, it would have been less “epic”!
