Caribbean and Asia in West-France
ENI suck at teasing self-promotion! I should have mentioned it earlier here: two of my articles were published this February 15, 2009 in West France. These are two topics inspired by trips I've already told you about, to the Dominican Republic and Bali.
Endearing Dominican Republic
The first paper, entitled Endearing Dominican Republicis a "tourism" article from my press trip to the Dominican RepublicThe first meeting was held at the beginning of January 2009.

Bali's electric corals
The second, entitled Bali's electric coralsis an "environment" topic published in the "Experts Oceans" operation file organized by Ouest-France with Oceanopolis in Brest. I tell about the fascinating Biorock project from Pemuteranwhich stimulates the growth of the coral thanks to the electric current, and that I had discovered during my stay in Bali (Indonesia) in July 2008.

Not that bad! 😉 I couldn't read the first text (about the RD) because the lettering was too small (there's a trick to make it bigger), but I really liked the one about the Biorock! Very interesting.
By the way, awesome changing headband!
@ Marie-Julie: Yes, the “image” versions of the articles are not always easy to read, depending on screen formats and browsers. I've just added links to download the pages in PDF format, so that they can be read more comfortably.
Still, I'm a bit of a sucker when it comes to publicity, I should have done my ’ad“ the day before publication, rather than the day after... 😆
In fact, I had already presented the Biorock project this summer, when I was in Pemuteran, on this post: Reef gardeners and turtle nursery
Since then, I've been reading up a bit more on the subject. It's fascinating, indeed. I had no idea that Pemuteran was the largest project of its kind. So maybe I'll edit the underwater video footage I made back then (haven't found the time to dig it out of the hard drive yet).
Finally, thank you for your appreciation of the banner... 😉 Glad you like it! As I explained to Alimata in a comment in this other post where we had discussed it, I finally couldn't choose one image over another, so I opted for an animated banner, as on my other site Notebooks of Southeast Asia. And despite his sarcasm of the moment, I kept my Koh Phi Phi cliff (no but), but in panoramic version this time.
🙄
Cool. As someone who doesn't really go out as a tourist or in a group, and who tends to frequent humble homes, even hovels, you've opened up some very pleasant new horizons for me. I've put the Dominican Republic in the back of my mind.
When I grow up, I want a headband that moves! 🙄
Hello Nono! Yes, I can see the gulf between that “todo incluido” press trip I took to the Dominican Republic and your humanitarian escapades in India...
For a banner that moves, you'll have to switch to another type of platform than the one where you usually blog (by the way, when you comment here, you should think about filling in the “your website” line, so that Diwali Solidarité Pondichéry would automatically appear as a link on your username). The day you feel up to the challenge of blogging in the big leagues, let me know and I'll set it up for you!
😉
Thank you for that very honest offer. You won't be surprised: I'm not ready for that big league banner. Hautefort's blog is more than enough for me. I still have billions of things to explore. Besides, I have to concentrate on finding the money, and that's not easy every day!
