Moulin Rouge! - five years on...

Moulin Rouge! - Can-Can at premiere after-party, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

A strange thing - five years and two days after I attended the Premire of Moulin Rouge! at the Odeon Leicester Square, I am being driven past the real Moulin Rouge by a colleague on our way back from dinner... I saw the film 14 times at the cinema and never grow tired of seeing it.

The dinner was nice, on a converted barge on The Seine, not so far away from La Defense (and Bois de Boulogne). Very trendy interior and fabulous looking waiters and waitresses dressed in black, serving delicious food. It made up somewhat for a difficult day in the office. As in my previous company, it seems to be the French office which causes most of the problems... still, we live to fight another day.
