Hello Vincent,
I’m sorry for not writing you, but was very busy last days again.
The test was cancelled on Tuesday because we arranged to go to a school trip then, so I had it yesterday.
But thank you anyway for wishing me luck.
What's about you?
We’re talking too much about me and other things, I really would like to get an idea of who you are?
What exactly are you doing, what are your interests, and what have been your studies...?
Yesterday I heard a concert from the Philharmonia Orchestra with Helen Grimaud, which was very beautiful.
And because of the tickets, I asked there twice, and there isn’t a chance to get one, because even when your working there, you need to announce 2 months before, that you want the tickets, and this concert have been sold out long times before. So I’m really sorry about that...
Well, I hope your fine, and would like to write you again in the evening, because I haven’t got the other Mail on this computer, so I think I forgot a lot of our questions and discussion topics.
Till then,
leander

Bonjour Leander
Thank you for giving news. Makes me happy.
I also have crazy days at the moment. Yesterday, I began at 7 AM at the office for preparing my budget. I had a break for 2 hours in the evening from 8PM to 10PM for a Mahler 8th in Salle Pleyel in Paris and then again at the office from 10PM to 2AM for working again. Crazy as I said. I hope it is not going to continue like this for a long time or I ll be dead soon!
As you are asking, some news about my job. I am sales manager, I work mainly with big international banks and my job consists in managing our local teams plus visiting clients and winning new projects. I am not sure it is so interesting but if you like, you can visit our website at (...)
My studies? Well, I studied economics and statistics in Paris but I moved very quickly to the sales business and before the job I have today, I worked mainly in the sales for big IT companies. I love international sales, because I travel a lot and I have to work with people from very different cultures, which I really like.
I am happy you liked the Philharmonia orchestra concert. I had a look on the programme and I really love Schumann piano concerto. I am sure it was great.
Thank you for asking for the Dudamel tickets. I am not surprised about your answer. If I am couragous I could come to Luzern and try to buy a last minute ticket (as I did for the Gewandhaus concert ten days ago).
Voila!
I hope to have news from you.
I am happy to exchange with you as often as you have time. Or to meet in real. Or to give you a call. Like you feel comfortable.
Have a nice evening.
Vincent

Bonsoir Monsieur,
This sound really crazy, you should take care of overwork:). I won't call myself busy anymore. Just watch out that there are always like islands of disacceleration and power for you, like the concerts and so on. Do you usually decide on your own, how long you work?
Hmmm, for me the economy has something very interesting, but in fact only to understand, what i'm critisising, because in fact i often think that capitalism is one of the biggest "problems" of our modern society. I'm still too young to talk about life and relations, but in my point of view it's a system that is banned to be broken in the near future, and one should really think about an alternative...
I'd so love to study abroad and maybe I will do so in 2 years, or at least go for Eramus during my studies. Languages as well as cultures are so exciting, that's what you should really enjoy about your job. What languages do you speak?
I don't know if there are any last minute tickets for the Dudamel concert, in fact I doubt about that, but if you wish I can ask for you again.
However, we still don't know each other. It's kind of crazy what modern media of communication makes possible.
If your coming to Lucerne in the near future, just let me know, maybe we can arrange something.
Good night and take care that your not working too much.
Leander

Alors que je vérifie les horaires du concert Dudamel sur le site du Festival, je trouve miraculeusement une place (une seule, la dernière, remise en vente je ne sais pourquoi) et je l'achète aussitôt. Je lui écris aussitôt pour le lui annoncer.

Dear Leander ,
I am very lucky.
I think the ticket appeared on the site today. It was the last one!!
Do you work for this one?
Good evening to you too…
