326.0. "May a new Noter come in the world of ::FRIENDS ?" by ANNECY::BALAS_B () Thu Apr 13 1995 15:52

	First, I'd like to say I'm a frenchy... So, excuse me for my english. I
have seen that the activity in the conference was amazing! Could you tell me if
there is a French conference?
	I am here in DIGITAL Annecy. I'm 24 year's old. I'd like to discuss with
friends from all arround the world (girls prefered of course ;-)  ).
	If you want to reply, please give me your name, the place where you
leave, your feelings, and if you want, your age...
	Thank you for your future answers. 
		As we say in France, "Joyeuses Paques!"

    Bon Soir BenJ!
    
    Welcome to FRIENDS.  I do know there is a PARIS conference (think it
    was SWTHOM::PARIS) that helped me when I planned my trip there.  Of
    course many of the notes were in French!!

Bonjour Benj!

   welcome to ::friends. Nice to have you in here.
   I can try my French on you, if you like. Mais...
   je ne sais plus beaucoup de mots.... ;)
   Je suis Martina, d'Allemagne, "The Alien" ;)
   Ou est-ce qu'il y a Annecy? Far away from
   Paris, or close by?

;)

326.4Danke sch�n...ANNECY::BALAS_BThu Apr 13 1995 16:5911
	Paris->Annecy=700Km, about 3h30 in TGV if you prefer... Annecy is in the
meddle of the Alpes mountains, just in side of a lake, to be clear, the place is
definitively wonderfull!...
	Ich grusse die deutchen. Excuse me but my german is worse than my
english (yes, it's possible!).
	I have to leave you now because tonight I'm back to Paris for this long
WE. Be sure I will be there on Tuesday morning to stay in tuch with my new
friends. Have fun and take care...

Hi BenJ,

   thanks for your help with my French. ;) That's the only
   way to learn a language: by mistake. You will find lots of
   entries here where I ask for correction and hints.
   I learn by doing. ;)

   Sunny Littleton is here in the US/Massachusetts.

326.9Hey! I'm back (from hell?)ANNECY::BALAS_BTue Apr 18 1995 11:239
	Hi! It's me, BenJ... I just wanted to say hello to my new friends and
specially to Martina who was so kind with me. I'm back from Paris where I've
made several fest with some friends of mine. I'm just a bit tired...
	Did you enjoy your W.E? Here in Annecy, the sun is still shining, the
mountains are still beautifull, white in their summit because of the snow. I
feel very good here.
	What time is it in the rest of the world?
	I have to work now. See you soon, this afternoon,
				Live from Annecy, your Frenchy, BenJ...

    Hi BenJ - Welcome!
    
    Good to have some more company in the morning! :-)  I'm just a short
    hop over the channel from you in England.
    
    The view of your snow-capped mountains sounds rather nice! :-)

    Bonjour BenJ!
    
    Sorry for our international friends but as I am french (living in
    Belgium) I will write a few lines in french...
    
    "Bienvenue sur la conf�rence Friends! Tu y trouveras beaucoup de 
    renseignements et tu pourras t'y faire des ami(e)s. Je t'enverrais
    un message via Vaxmail pour t'expliquer. Passe le bonjour � Annecy
    car j'ai v�cu � Ferney-Voltaire pendant 3 ans".
    
    Please to "meet" new friends! 
    Patricia

    Hi Patricia
    
    welcome aboard!

326.17I can't believe it!ANNECY::BALAS_BSomeone, somewhere, somehow, and me...Thu Apr 20 1995 15:0327
	Salut Patricia!

	Well, I think it would be better to translate what we say in French like
we do it with Martina.

	" Merci pour ces quelques grammes de Fran�ais dans un monde Anglais...
Il serait sympa que tu te pr�sentes plus en d�tail pour nos nouveaux FRIENDS. Je
crois qu'il existe une rubrique qui se nomme Who are we (ou quelquechose du
style), o� tu pourrais nous parler de tes gouts, de ton boulot (juste un petit
peu). Tu pourrais aussi nous donner une id�e de ton age, de la ville o� tu
habites, de tes �tudes... Au fait, o� es trouve Ferney-Voltaire?
	Moi, j'ai presque 24 ans (et toutes mes dents). Je suis chez DEC pour 3
mois, pour mon projet de fin d'�tudes d'Ing�nieur. Je travaille dans la division
temps r�el. Je loge � Annecy le vieux mais je connais assez peu le coin. J'aime
les sports comme le v�lo, le ski, le foot, le tennis, la voile... J'aime la
nature, la campagne, la montagne (Je suis mi-ard�chois, mi-savoyard). J'aime la
musique, le Rock'n Roll, j'adore la guitare. J'apr�cie le cin�ma, les soir�es
�tudiantes, les pubs en g�n�ral et la bi�re en particulier. J'aime la po�sie, il
m'arrive d'�crire mais je n'ai aucun talent. J'aime chanter, danser, j'aime les
bons repas bien arros�. Mais surtout j'AIME LES FILLES!... "

	For our friends who don't anderstand anything of what we say, I'm gonna
make an effort. I've asked Patricia to present herself with more details. I said
to her, what U allready know, I love many things like sport, music, cinema...
And I said that I love particulary girls...

	Back to his work now, waiting for a reply patiently, 	BenJ.

326.20Not new... old noter!BIS1::WATTINNEFri Apr 21 1995 08:4810
    Many thanks to all of you.... but I am not new in Friends :-)
    
    A few years ago I had a few pen pal friends thanks to this conference
    and then I had the chance to meet my husband. 
    Nevertheless I am very happy to see that friendship, international
    friendship, is still existing!
    
    BenJ, I will write you more but I can not promise today as I am on
    holidays this evening for a week.
    "Speak" to all of you very soon. Patricia.
326.21Sympa d'te voir l�!ANNECY::BALAS_BSomeone, somewhere, somehow, and me...Fri Apr 21 1995 10:387
	Patricia, I won't take your time much more because time is money, and
money is important for hollydays...
	"Si c'est pas indiscret, tu vas o�, veinarde! Au ski? Il y a de la
neige, il faut en profiter..."
	Have a nice trip next week and come back to tell us how it was. How
lucky you are to be able to have some hollydays.
				Take care, yours notly, 	BenJ.
