A Swedish lady living in Paris is a famous chocolate lover. She inspired me to try dark chocolate nearly 10 years ago. I met her at the chocolate festival in Linköping. Although I don't speak French she convinced me I should visit Salon Du Chocolate in Paris.
I've never bin there but you can read more at their website.

Masur, have you attended the Salon du Chocolat in Paris before?
Is it worth checking out. I might be moving to the north of Norway, and the tickets will be more expensive than from Bergen, where I live now.

I've not been in the right mood to finalize the coverage from London Chocolate Week 2004. Once this has been done I will create a new topic in forum "Chocolate Week 2004 (UK), 4 - 10 October". Later on I will write a summary in english from the recent chocolate festival in Linköping.

The Chocolate Festival in Stockholm called "Chokladfestivalen" will run from Thursday October 6th until Sunday October 9th. Why not visit both festivals Legodude like I'm planning to do?
I might also go to Paris and visit Saloon Du Chocolate (22nd - 25th October).

Last year, Masur, LoneLy and I were at the Chocolate Week. Nice to meet people face to face as well. I hope to be there this year too, but I am not sure. Maybe I will go to Sweden to the Chokladfestivalen in stead.

so, we have now determined that polar is a madman because he conducts imaginary orchestras in the 'privacy' of his own living room. what do your neighbors have to say to all the noise that the orchestra makes?

i guess ellie and I qualify as veritably insane as well for solitary dancing. me with an imaginary tango partner, she with spinning chocolate bars ;)
what's left to be desired?

but hey! i like this kind of madness. call me crazy, but yeah!

I agree, Brave New World is quite frightening (it's the only of these I've read).

Not looking so much is not enough, but if you promise to throw it away you could get a prospect staus, as "O' may be not wandering along in the complete darkness any longer One".

I have been without a TV for about four years. Now that we have got one, I hardly see anything. I can recommend the book Amusing ourselves to death from 1985 by Neil Postman. He critisizes many aspects of television in USA. Reed also 1984 by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
