The “Adventures of Guillaume” continue! He is in the Big Apple and obligated excited to share his experience:

“To start, I’ve been spotting pieces of bitten apple all over the place, but I don’t want to name any names. Ok, enough with the insinuations, I mean the Apple Stores. They are everywhere and really fun to visit. I was surprised to find out that they stay open until midnight! That’s pretty practical for someone who works evenings, like myself. I’ve been to the one on the corner of 14th Street and 9th Avenue and it’s huge! Who wouldn’t go wild with all there is to see and the great euro to dollar exchange rate! Check it out here.

Another constant temptation: food. A visit to Starbucks could be a hard blow for dieters (well it is summer and beach time, after all). Here is photographical proof of the temptations that have me hooked after only a month (I know, I know, I’m a weakling):

I have to admit that supermarkets live up to the’super’ part of their name. But even though it’s reassuring to see I can find fruit and vegetable displays almost as beautiful as in France, there are some startling differences: take the simple fact that a mere slice of brie can cost around $7! Or the fact that it is almost impossible to find bread worthy of its name. The most puzzling by far is the astonishing piles of cookies, cakes and endless ice cream cases. Americans consuming unhealthy food perhaps isn’t that much of a cliché after all.

During one of my rare outings, I was happy to visit one of my favorite spots (at the moment at least): Pier 14. For all of you who have never been to New York, it’s a sort of mini-port where you can find taxi boats and other ‘cruisers’ that take tourists on a tour of the island. It’s a tranquil place (aside from the crowds, but after all, we are talking about New York), relaxing and you get a full-on view of the magnificent Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. And all you need to do is turn around to glimpse (a small part of) the Financial District. Take a look:

And finally, I can’t end without mentioning dear Thierry. I’m sure you all wanted to see him in action! Here is a small candid shot of the man worth 3 billion who makes conference calls faster than you can say  Jack Robinson.

That’s all for now. See you next time on ‘Big Apple Adventures!’”

Today and the “Sex and the City” movie will be officially launched in the UK, and on May 30 in the USA. Finally, as the fans of the hugely popular HBO series will probably say…

The adventures of the four New York fashion freaks Carry (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Samantha (Kim Cattrall) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), stumbling through the metropolitan jungle in Manolo Blahniks, sipping Martini and experiencing all the ups and downs life has to offer when you have far too much money in your pocket and no essential worries at all, have fascinated viewers across the globe.

The film’s preview was a success. But why did it take place in London and not in New York? Bizarre decision… Anyway this is probably not the questions true fans of the series are keen to know the answer to, but: Will Carry finally marry Mr. Big (played by Chris Noth)? And who is going to die in the film? If you live in the UK you can find it out tonight. The others need a little more patience, but until then they can console themselves with the trailer:

I’m not sure that this is going to be the greatest film of all times, but as we all know: glamour and sex sell…
