merci Flavah, bon tant pis j'assume le résultat :

warning : if you understand the following answers, please don't take the road..

1. Tell us how you came across OZZU.

Well that was 2 years ago, when American government and French government weren’t agree very well, G.W.B was being ré-elected, and I was interesting in submersing inside American people.
In fact, I found divides about society and international questions not very far from what I know here.

So, how did I come here? I just tried to re-enact my google search but unfortunately I couldn’t.
All I just can say is thx google.


2. Where in France is Nimes?

Do I need to tell you? northeast , 30 miles, far from Montpellier of course.

… Ok Nîmes is a little “gallo-romaine” town (about 150 000 inhabitants) in the south of France just near the Mediterranean Sea.

I work in the private sector, in a mobile marketing agency as a developer.

On some busy days I don’t even spend a minute; in fact I would need some 48hrs days.

J.S.Bach
