First day in L.A.
Posted by: Fidji SIMO in American way of life, Expatriation, Innovation, Internet/Technology, UCLAAfter months of preparation, stress, excitement and anxiety, I’m finally in L.A.! How to describe the first day of a new life? I must be born under a good star as everything went fine: in only one day, I checked into a beautiful studio, I visited UCLA and completed all the administrative tasks, I got my UCLA student card, I bought the traditional UCLA sweatshirt, I bought a US mobile phone, I opened a bank account, I found a Whole Food to buy some… food of course, and I even had time to make my first podcast at UCLA…
As I don’t want to convert this blog into a personal one (and it’s hard at the moment as I really want to share the experience of my expatriation), I will try to connect my experiences with some more interesting topics. For example, in this podcast, I explain the connection between UCLA and the Internet. The result is awful (horrible French accent, horrible face, awful quality, and I don’t understand why I move my head in all directions like that, that’s unbearable…) but I really want to make this blog more alive by adding podcasts, so hopefully it’ll get better with time ;-)
If you want to follow this expatriation step by step, you can see my Flickr pictures here and my Twitter feed here.

Like a real manager…congratulations!!! Otherwise, I will watch your podcast later!
Oooh you charm your readers with your head! Have I understood that Internet had been tested in UCLA in 1969 and in fact teachers had sent a message to those of Stanford? If I have not understood, it is because of your accent of course
(Joke joke joke)
Apparently you understood well, so there is still hope for my accent
