Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud's new film will be released on Wednesday. I was able to watch Oceans in December, long before the official release. And I've met the film crew.

My short stay on the small Indonesian island of Derawan last July allowed me to attend no less than two weddings! Two almost identical weddings, with kitschy decor and pop-marshmallow orchestra.

A little piece of Asia in Montreal: here's a glimpse of Chinatown, in two short videos.

His name is Christoph Rehage. This young German, who was studying in Beijing, decided to take "the longest way" back home: on foot! From November 2007 to November 2008, he covered 4,646 km in China... growing his beard and hair.

Flashback. July 13, 2009. My stay in Mabul is coming to an end. Ultimate and fabulous dives, again, in Sipadan. On the way back, between the two islands, a school of dolphins accompanies for a moment the race of our speedboat ... Ultimate happiness.

I left Derawan and its archipelago today. I realized this dream that I had since the beginning of this Indonesian trip to Borneo: swim with rays-mantas, in the waters of Sangalaki!

Reef Seen Dive Center in Pemuteran hosts children's dance classes. Adorable little girls Balinese dancers ...

It's the most popular Thai dish with Western tourists. Tasty, nutritious and inexpensive. A simple plate of fried noodles, for which I feel nostalgic when I'm away from Thailand.

It was on that wonderful Similan dive cruise. Our encounter with a turtle at the East of Eden site. A magical moment! That day, my camera was still working. This is the only underwater video I managed to bring back.

It has been more than a week since I came back from Thailand. But I propose to return to the fabulous bay of Phang Nga, with this small video. A long-tail boat ride from island to island, what do you think?

In the heart of Thailand's Phang Nga Bay, Koh Yao Noi is an unknown, peaceful island. Remains authentic despite the proximity of Phuket an hour by boat.

A short video for my fellow travelers in the Dominican Republic... This plane is an "avionnette". Imagine a minibus with wings and a propeller.

Everyone is scared of sharks. It's silly. There is more danger for divers: the giant triggerfish, also called titan triggerfish.

Matt Harding, the man who dances around the world, is back in a commercial, shot in Asia. He's changed sponsors. He's now advertising for a credit card...

Just for a laugh, before we start the week again, here's a refreshing little video. Already viewed nearly 2 million times on You Tube!!!! I'm going to start taking vitamins...

This train, which runs through the Maeklong market, near Bangkok, is Thailand's most famous. We fold the stalls, flush with the rails, to let it pass!

Are you one of those Westerners who have mastered the Asian squat? In other words, who know how to squat Asian-style? If you've ever been to Asia, you'll know what I mean... Most foreigners can't sit on their heels without losing their balance!

I love this video. Discover the world tour of globetrotter Matt Harding, the man who dances in 42 countries!

Lagrandeaventure.fr globetrotters Benoît Bringer and Alexandre Franceschi are in Thailand. Four years after the tsunami, they take us from Koh Phi Phi to Koh Tarutao, in the Andaman Sea, in a short web video report that won me over. The title: Thailand, the ecological challenge.

The Liberty is Bali's best-known (and most popular) wreck. It is located in Tulamben, near Amed, on the northeastern coast of the island.

I can not resist the pleasure of showing you on video the dance of the mola-mola (and, of course, the mola-mola), after having (finally) met this big moon fish in the waters of Nusa Penida. 

The rest of my trip to Sulawesi (Indonesia) during the summer of 2007 ... On the program: the Togian Islands. A little paradise at the end of the world!

Atmosphere of madness, in an arena of cockfighting, in the Philippines! This video was shot in 2008 on the small island of Siquijor, in the Visayas. Sensitive souls refrain.

Here I am in Toraja country (Tana Toraja) in Sulawesi. Here again, a very Christian population, and very attached to its traditions. I attended a funeral ceremony at the village of Rembon, near Rantepao. Spectacular introduction to the customs of the country ...

Grrr... I've been diving for two days in a row, hoping to see the mythical whale shark I spotted in the waters off Koh Haa three days ago. But nothing...

The big day is here. Today, finally, I plunge to Sipadan. The site does not usurp its reputation. It's spectacular. Sharks and turtles galore. Fish everywhere. All along a vertiginous "wall" where the corals abound, which sinks into the blue.

In Borneo, Malaysia, the Sepilok Orangutan Centre is trying to reintroduce these endangered great apes into the jungle. A short visit...

I take you under the surface, discover the underwater world of the Perhentian Islands, Peninsular Malaysia ...
