Right Zara,

Actually my post was sorted by rhythms and all these rythms are from west Africa.
Thanks for the tip on the book, but once again, it is really hard for me to get anything... Anyway, thanks guys for your posts, it makes me feel less lonely.

See ya soon

Akdom, I´ve enjoyed your discussion with JC and zaragemca. I´m just curious: are you living currently in Mexico? What are you doing there? It seems to me that you have an interesting story...

Jejeje, well as I told you, I´m just curious...

Hi Dvon,

To answer your question, here is a short version of my "story":
I am French. I left France 10 years ago to go to Switzerland (Geneva) for 3 1/2 years. By the way, Geneva is a great place for drumming!
Then I went to San Ignacio, in Belize (Central America) where I built and owned part of a small resort. At the same time, I lived a few months in Guatemala city and also on an island in the Caribbean.
I am now in Merida Mexico where I arrived 3 months ago. I will be leavin Mexico next week and return to Belize (where I am a permanent resident).
And then, I am expecting to move to the Cayman Island at the end of September.
That's it.

See ya.

Hi Dvon.

Life in Belize is very slow.... And in the end you miss a lot of things.
But it is beautiful and vey wild (to make a short answer).
Now if my life is a dreamed life, I am not sure. Of course I know I am lucky, and on the other hand, even if it is a better life than staying in France, it is not a dream life, just a very good different life.

See ya
