I feel there's room for improvement (thank the stars there is, how boring would life be if we got all the answers right away?)<br /><br />I have been thinking about ways to build a fulfilling career lately, and one non-negociable point for me is the ability to travel and relocate at will. In my dreams, I want to achieve location independence.<br /><br />I have been reading a lot on the topic, and don't really have any coherent reflexion or achievement yet - I'll wait until I do to share my wisdom.

A 7h du soir le mercredi, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8469532.stm">le Ministère de la santé éteindra les lumières dans ses bâtiments</a>, forçant ainsi le personnel à enfin rentrer chez soi et à passer du temps en famille - et, si possible, à agrandir ladite famille. J'aurais trouvé plus efficace de couper l'électricité direct dans les immeubles résidentiels, histoire qu'on rentre pas se coller sur WoW, mais bon.<br /><br />J'ai eu l'occasion de vivre des initiatives similaires en travaillant au Japon. Le Mercredi soir, les heures supplémentaires étaient interdites - sauf qu'aucun des cadres de l'entreprise ne respectait cette règle. Wally peut également témoigner: il lui est arrivé de regarder à quel heure son chef pointait, et en l'espace de trois mois, ce dernier n'était parti avant minuit que deux fois - l'une étant un Dimanche après midi.<br /><br />Sur <a href="http://www.feministing.com/archives/019714.html">Feministing</a>, Ariel met en parallèle cette nouvelle info avec les chiffres de <a href="http://thegrandnarrative.wordpress.com/2009/02/05/for-every-birth-a-korean-career-dies/">la part des femmes dans la force de travail</a>. Elle en conclut que la maternité étant déjà tellement néfaste à la carrière des Coréennes, l'idée qu'envoyer les employés (principalement masculins, donc) chez eux de bonne heure changera quelque chose au problème de la dénatalité est 1- forcément une idée de mec 2- manque de bon sens à long terme 3- pue le privilège. Les commentaires sur le site de la BBC abondent dans son sens.<br /><br />Cependant, je ne suis pas sûre que ce soit un tableau complet de la situation. Effectivement, la libération de la femme est bien plus lente en Extrême Orient qu'en Occident. Effectivement, la Corée comme le Japon connaissent en ce moment un déficit de naissances qui pourrait faire chavirer leur économie. Mais en parlant avec les jeunes adultes d'Asie, je me rends compte que le tableau n'est pas aussi noir qu'on veut le dresser depuis l'Europe. J'aimerais vraiment trouver des chiffres ou une étude solide sur l'évolution des mentalités et des comportements au cours des quelques dernières décennies. J'ai l'impression que la population essaie de se libérer sans vagues du joug des traditions, que les jeunes adultes essaient actuellement d'échapper aux mariages arrangés et de raison, que les femmes essaient de poursuivre leurs carrières mieux et plus longtemps que leurs mères, que les couples essaient de réinventer les codes selon lesquels les jeunes époux se partagent les rôles. Pour moi, ça a tout l'air de progresser dans le bon sens, et ça nous donne la chance de vivre une époque bouleversée mais intéressante.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="fullpost" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"><br /><br />After <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/01/26/canon.babies/index.html">Japan</a>, it's now <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8469532.stm">Korea</a>'s turn to take creative measures to encourage baby making. At 7pm on Wednesdays, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8469532.stm">the Ministry of Health will turn the lights off in its buildings</a>, thus forcing workers to get out of work already and go spend time with their families - and hopefully make them bigger. Although I'm sure it'd be a lot more effective to cut electricity in apartment buildings as well. What good is it for population renewal to get home and play WoW, really.<br /><br />I already witnessed similar initiatives when working in Japan: on Wednesdays, working after hours was forbidden in my company - except that none of the executives complied to the rule. Wally can also testify on Japanese crazy work hours: when he sneaked a peak at his boss's punch card, he found out that he had left the building before midnight only twice in the previous three months - once was on a Sunday afternoon.<br /><br />At <a href="http://www.feministing.com/archives/019714.html">Feministing</a>, Ariel puts this information in parallel with the figures of <a href="http://thegrandnarrative.wordpress.com/2009/02/05/for-every-birth-a-korean-career-dies/">women's presence in the workforce</a> and conclude that maternity is already so detrimental to women's career that the idea that sending the men home early will improve things is necessarily 1- a guy's idea 2- shortsighted and 3- reeks of privilege. Commenters on the BBC News website concur.<br /><br />However, I'm not sure that's the only side of the story. Women's liberation has progressed a lot slower in Far East Asia than in Europe and America, that's true. Korea and Japan are going through a nasty baby drought that might end up sinking their economy, that's also true. But when talking with Asian young adults, I find out that things aren't as negative as they look from over here. I'd really like to find some data on how things have changed in the past few decades. I get the impression that young adults are also trying to avoid arranged or loveless marriages, women are trying to work on their careers longer, couples are trying to reinvent the rules by which husband and wife relate to each other. It looks like progress to me, and it makes for shaky but interesting times.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfLJhu-YaKgh-zYUUAyFMFMl-R3of9CMJzFonLVg1tPU30e39S8q83mefE-MRpDPUBMPyLK0tDSnCLHWj1CJgtqcog_zI__YqrBFSsvmFF_3x82ua6DcNnEdGTaLDesjzo61EQ/s1600-h/3476621528_8b2b6cf3cc.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfLJhu-YaKgh-zYUUAyFMFMl-R3of9CMJzFonLVg1tPU30e39S8q83mefE-MRpDPUBMPyLK0tDSnCLHWj1CJgtqcog_zI__YqrBFSsvmFF_3x82ua6DcNnEdGTaLDesjzo61EQ/s400/3476621528_8b2b6cf3cc.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428921205806707026" border="0" /></a><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="fullpost" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >photo: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cholmondelly/">Cholmondelly</a></span><br /></div><span class="fullpost" style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"><br /></span>aellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06098885274468558015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13356650.post-4894386329698991212010-01-20T08:08:00.004+01:002010-01-20T08:17:03.749+01:00Nostalgia<span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">I miss Tokyo.

Tu étais trop bizarre. Tu m'as trop fait poireauter sans répondre à mes questions. Tu m'as accordé trop de demi-victoires finalement décevantes.<br /><br />Je souhaite que 2010 soit une année douce, tranquille et excitante en même temps. Pleine de clarté et d'améliorations. Et de créativité.<br /><br />Pour commencer, je vous offre un petit calendrier fait maison, à partir de quelques-unes de mes images préférées du Japon. Je pensais le vendre sur <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/aelleaelle">Etsy </a>mais finalement le voilà gratos, profitez-en! Usage privé uniquement, merci.<br /><br />Il faut cliquer sur l'image pour télécharger le calendrier au format PDF haute définition, puis l'imprimer en utilisant le réglage le plus performant de votre imprimante. Un papier épais et mat fournira les meilleurs résultats.<br /><br /><a href="http://diamond.r.free.fr/aelle/downloads/calendrier2010.pdf"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigQPSqsR4vho8jvfIknucbYGVg3yvBprr6msml7LQhAtgjX_IT4CO5EteumMzGUCMuxtRXNYckIUFyYgoNZbQ9p3k89BixrJg0fxVUVhFOtnySSOg_DEuHZQki7uEB1-CM3sZf/s400/12dec.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421744532219976274" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://diamond.r.free.fr/aelle/downloads/calendrier2010.pdf"><span style="font-style: italic;">Calendrier 2010 du Japon - par aelle</span></a><br /></div><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">And good riddance, 2009. You weirded me out. Too much waiting time, too many unanswered questions. Too many half victories that tasted of disappointment. 2009 was too much of a work in progress.<br /><br />Here's to wishing that 2010 will be mellow, cozy and exciting at the same time, full of clarity and improvement. And of creativity.<br /><br />To get a good start on this, here is a little welcome present: a home made printable calendar, featuring 12 of my favourite pictures of Japan. I thought of selling it on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/aelleaelle">Etsy </a>at first, but instead here it is completely free, so enjoy! Personal use only please, reselling my free gifts is tacky and illegal.<br /><br />Click on the image or on the link below to download the high definiting PDF file. Print it using the most performant settings of your printer. Using thick, matte paper will give the best results. Sorry Americans, the file is intended for A4 paper (210x297mm) so you might have to resize it.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://diamond.r.free.fr/aelle/downloads/calendrier2010.pdf"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJFUEY_X9RiV9Bqn72MOKhGDgwACdcLx_7Ahdsn8j5HnIWpp9Qy36opLCBh3XbONhHvQbfUAoF3wneUVRC0Bbb7hHaQubjaMp3LbQXzM5EiWuBRxzmlMO1aXTikylSe_XfxEa/s400/1jan.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421744536640682530" border="0" /><br /></a><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><br /><br /><a href="http://diamond.r.free.fr/aelle/downloads/calendrier2010.pdf"><span style="font-style: italic;">2010 calendar - images of Japan - by aelle</span></a></div>aellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06098885274468558015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13356650.post-47163198630258235192009-12-30T12:00:00.000+01:002009-12-30T12:00:07.332+01:00Seoul under my hand - Earrings<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhNAH3TmHwvLiK2K4QgRlKKuxlpQhQjYsnDuGFndOjXRLMGLpYo201FRZcmLxGgXmmZYaerqpanG_Raku25EdZyVFwREIxZLs5hhEeznUoWTLIU80I8k4Z2Z77SPh3irlD982b/s1600-h/coree16.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 314px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhNAH3TmHwvLiK2K4QgRlKKuxlpQhQjYsnDuGFndOjXRLMGLpYo201FRZcmLxGgXmmZYaerqpanG_Raku25EdZyVFwREIxZLs5hhEeznUoWTLIU80I8k4Z2Z77SPh3irlD982b/s400/coree16.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416923420131595010" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Is it creepy to draw people facing you in the subway?

It's a very, very meaty country. The national dish is barbecued beef slabs. Memorizing the phrase "without meat please" didn't prevent me from having to pick animal pieces from my food on a regular basis, because small chunks apparently don't count!<br /><br />But I quickly found some surprising and great options. One of them is Korean porridge - which this chain made its central dish. It's rice and water based, instead of wheat and milk, and complemented with plenty of veggies, nuts or meats. Rice and pumpkin porridge is apparently a winter staple. Here, I ordered a pine nut porridge bowl, which came along with tiny plates of cabbage, nori, red pepper sauce and pickled veggies.</span><br /><br />J'ai atterri en Corée pleine d'appréhension concernant la nourriture. L'alimentation Coréenne est très, très portée sur la viande, ce qui ne me ravit pas en tant que végétalienne. Le plat national est le boeuf grillé. Apprendre par coeur comment dire "sans viande s'il vous plaît" ne m'a pas empêchée d'avoir à retirer régulièrement des morceaux animaux de mon assiette, parce qu'apparemment ça ne compte pas si c'est juste des petits bouts!<br /><br />Mais j'ai rapidement découvert des options délicieuses et surprenantes. Parmi elles, le porridge coréen - plat phare de cette chaine de restaurants. Il est à base de riz et d'eau, pas de blé et de lait, et complété de différents légumes, noix ou viandes. Ici, j'ai commandé un porridge de pignons de pin, servi avec de toutes petites assiettes de chou, de nori, de pâte de piment et de petits légumes marinés.aellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06098885274468558015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13356650.post-70483224077456602682009-12-21T12:00:00.001+01:002009-12-21T12:00:00.944+01:00Seoul under my hand - Over the top Christmas<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgELgRiPt5IbMRV5QQRKbNguyaGd4h9aNd8T54MqM1SKOW0OJBvDZNjTFXa5lLyRmBhi_TMZGzyxU5Gpxk-Lu-BxEu10QanTQpd9kgZDCVVATnbhI7_ENKRcYh9AxKzRbxoZFIW/s1600-h/coree5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 210px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgELgRiPt5IbMRV5QQRKbNguyaGd4h9aNd8T54MqM1SKOW0OJBvDZNjTFXa5lLyRmBhi_TMZGzyxU5Gpxk-Lu-BxEu10QanTQpd9kgZDCVVATnbhI7_ENKRcYh9AxKzRbxoZFIW/s400/coree5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416905756686072658" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIPykfAWzb6dfi0zm6fbBprIDRSMH0-P-xho2MbHZaw1OYLgWbpw9O6Xx4lqtqOZ8F-Ds2SdXSQmBs-j8Ve_ZlcvIpfj8VJm-fl_dL3-liIOxkystjadY3ChRv5YNii1_g-F9C/s1600-h/coree4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIPykfAWzb6dfi0zm6fbBprIDRSMH0-P-xho2MbHZaw1OYLgWbpw9O6Xx4lqtqOZ8F-Ds2SdXSQmBs-j8Ve_ZlcvIpfj8VJm-fl_dL3-liIOxkystjadY3ChRv5YNii1_g-F9C/s400/coree4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416905751933117634" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Speaking of which, these two are in a Paris Baguette - the one near the French Embassy in Gangnam.
