Since i’ve started this project, I’m always looking for cheap communication solutions to keep in touch with my friends and family during the long journey.

Of course, I’m a real Skype user, and it allows you to subscribe to an World illimited package for 10,29 € All taxes included per month. Also, Skype is well-known for the ability to talk for free from skype-to-skype accounts.It’s also interesting to notice that it has a powerful SMS service.

How could we survive without (at least) MSN Messenger, Facebook and Google Talk ?

Finally, I recently discovered a a very cool iPhone application called BiteSMS and which allows (like the Skype SMS offer to send short messages quite cheap. SMS are directly sent from a Wifi connection or even a 3G one (I’m thinking about evaluating some costs in a coming post).I tried it and everything worked well. I got 550 credits (which means 550 SMS from France to France) for 30 €. Don’t forget that you have 1 year to use them. But it’s still quite enought, isn’t it ?

One really have to take care of not using to often mobile phones to avoid scary bills..However, some services such as BiteSMS are cool. I hope I won’t have to have such a bad experience..

Here is finally the Podcast number 4, 26 days before to go ! Enjoy it.

Some news about the project, recorded with my new digital voice recorder that I’ve just bought…

It was a real hot challenge between both stickers and the winner is the rounded one with more than 50 votes (I have to be quick if I want to send it to the printer).

So here is finally the official sticker i will stick everywhere in this world. It can help to promote the blog or even have problems with it (Im joking Mum’ ).Thanks to all the voters.

 
I can’t leave France without a crazy goodbye party, can I ?

The  21 of November, there will be my official party at Le Palatin ("Le Palat’" for most os us). Huge party with a Live DJ all night long, gifts, and cheap drinks (2 € for a drink, how can we do better ?). I’ll present the project during sessions thanks to a wireless access and an overhead projector.

If you’re living in Lyon, or even somewhere, I would be pleased to see you a 7pm for the before party (cocktail). Be carreful, you must be disguised ! Be creative and you’ll have some presents from the bar ! You can invite your friends subscribing here for the party on Facebook !

You want some flyers ? Of course you can have ones. Just be cool with the environment and don’t put them where they don’t have to be ! Contact me and I’ll send you some.

Today, it’s only 30 before the real departure. Things are getting hot and I’m currently working on a new version of the newsletter (I lost the original version in a stupid computer crash few months ago and I had to rebuild it from scratch) and it’s almost ready to be send. If you want it, you can directly get the newsletter by email. One already asked me the question and this article is a good opportunity to answer : I’m using a very good emailing software (SendBlaster) to create newsletters. Subscribe directly through filling the form in the blog’s sidebar. I did my best to create a nice newsletter so feel free to subscribe. You will like it. I swear

I recently told you that Romain World Tour was under construction in Chinese, and today I’m very proud to announce you that another translation work started, this time in Russian.

Many thanks to Daria from Saint-Petersburg for her help. The blog will then be available in 6 languages soon. It’s something amazing, and we can do even better, don’t you think ? Don’t forget that you can also help me to develop the blog in your own language ! Feel free to contact me.
