Aix en Provence AGAIN

On the 25th of November François Lejault who is a video artist and a teacher in L'Ecole d'Art d'Aix invited me and Karim to attend a video class there and to show our work to the students over there. I went with Karim and Renaud and we were expecting much more discussion than that in ZINC but unfortunately it was not as we expected. Many people told us that maybe because we were speaking in English. I don't know what's the problem of the French people and English. They seem not to feel comfortable speaking it though I'm sure they have learned it at school. It's just so annoying because neither me or Karim is a native English speaker so we are all not speaking our mother tongue language which should be ok.

After the class we went to have lunch with François and Julie Karsenty, who is responsible of the college's international stuff. Then we spent a nice day in Aix en Provence. The city is really beautiful especially with all these lights and decorations for christmas that are not that common in Egypt.
