Worldwide styles
I spent the last week at the really excellent SRF2013 conference, and as part of the usual social events, we were invited for a 1 hour "historical & poetical" river cruise of Paris. This was quite nice but as you can guess, the historical and poetical interest of such a tour was very limited^^
- "And now you can see here the "Tour Eiffel", 324 meters high, built in 1889 by... guess who... ? G. Eiffel !"
- "Et maintenant vous pouvez voir ici le "Tour Eiffel", 324 mètres de haut, construit en 1889 par ... devinez qui ... ? G. Eiffel !
- "Y ahora se puede ver aquí el "Tour Eiffel", 324 metros de altura, construida en 1889 por ... supongo que ... ? G. Eiffel !"
- "そして今ここで1889年に建てられた324メートルの高い"エッフェル塔"を、、...、見ることができます誰を推測...? G.エッフェル!"
- "Und jetzt können Sie hier sehen Sie die "Tour Eiffel", 324 Meter hoch, gebaut im Jahre 1889 von ... erraten, wer ... ? G. Eiffel !"
- "现在,你可以在这里看到的“艾菲尔铁塔”,高324米,建于1889年...猜猜我是谁...... ? G.艾菲尔!"
- "E ora si può vedere qui la "Tour Eiffel", alta 324 metri, costruita nel 1889 da ... indovinate chi ... ? G. Eiffel!"
Actually, more interestesting & exciting was to look at people inside the boat. I selected for you a few nice examples of all-around-the-world representatives...
First you can find the European style, introspective & tormented.
Then of course the American style, quite standard but full of joy & strength.
The African style was also present, ancient & mysteryous.
And finally the Asian style, quite weird but soooo cute & sexy :)
And guess what...!? From my point of view, the winner is, surprisingly...
... the African style ! \o/
الحذر! أفريقيا يراقبك!
