Are you going to stay in Paris indefinitely? How was Aussie?
Okay, now I feel like trolling you, so here we go:
Lol, I've been back to Nice since January thanks for making me realize I forgot to change my location.
It's supposed to get up to around 24°C tomorrow, after the past fews days which constantly failed to reach their forecast
Australia was awesome I might even move there for a while in about 6 months - long story. Sydney is one of the very few cities in the world which succeeds in having simultaneously a good climate (in my book), a high quality of life, and a solid economic activity (unlike, e.g. Nice). Not to mention how stunningly beautiful its environment is. Melbourne is more interesting and vibrant in absolute terms, but I'd rather go there for weekend breaks than live there - it would be slightly disappointing to travel the entire world to end up living in the small part of the country with a climate less enviable than that of my hometown (and the "outdoor" life can't even begin to compare to Sydney's). Brisbane was extremely disappointing. Empty, sleepy, weird town.

Glad to hear you enjoyed Australia! Lol at the part about Brisbane
I haven't even been to Sydney yet - I should go.

You're not working atm? You would move to Syndey for a job in finance, or something else?
Look I can still troll you. Enjoying your 16°C in Nice? Poor fellas.

Yup, not working atm. Had some $$ saved up and took a couple of months to enjoy life (including my Oz trip). Started applying for 6-month contracts in Nice. After that I'll probably go to Sydney but there are still a lot of variables and unknowns. I couldn't care less about working in finance, but that's what I am good at so that's what will most likely land me a job in Oz initially (and anywhere else for that matter). Over time I'll try to progressively switch to another field.

This week's forecast has been a horrendous failure. Every day was supposed to have a max of 20-22°C, culminating with yesterday at 23-25°C, and ALL ENDED UP AT 16-18°C The worst and weirdest thing is that there was an official 23°C peak at 9pm which was PURE FANTASY in the city center (I went out to the Prom' at that time and there is absolutely no way it was warmer than 17°C).
soon easter, and that means loads of alcohol for me.
Same here.
Easter is a fun holiday. Like Christmas, however, the hardcore Christians would have you believe the holiday were exclusively theirs & all us heathens celebrating it were out of line. That, of course, couldn't be further from the truth, since Easter is originally a pagan holiday. (The same is also true of Christmas, of course.)
So I will enjoy Easter just as a Christian would, knowing it's not their holiday to begin with. Even the English name of the holiday derives from the name of the Germanic goddess Ēostre.
Spoiler
All the traditional European deities--Germanic, Slavic, Celtic, Greco-Roman, etc.--are linked in that they derive from a Proto-Indo-European religion.
Our Slavic tradition, which includes decorating Easter eggs, goes right back to our pre-Christian pagan beliefs as well.
