je ne comprends pas

Voici wikipedia:

Pakito is the alias of French Eurodance artist, Julien Ranouil. He became known thanks to his cover of Living on Video by Trans-X. Later hits are "Moving on Stereo" and "Are U ready". So far his music style can be best determined as Euro House. His name is from Paquito chocolatero, a famous pasodoble dance from Alicante, in the Comunidad Valenciana region of Spain.

Longboard marathon visits Folkestone

Not along The Leas I hope, where skating is OUTLAWED:

British Longboard Team Prepare for the Challenge of a Life Time

The stage is set for a team of longboard skateboarders from Devon, UK to attempt a World Record Breaking marathon. In July 2007, the BeatsWalkinEurope team will begin an epic 4000km skate marathon from North Devon in England through France, Switzerland and Spain. Their aim is to raise funds and awareness for 3 childrens charities - Link Community Development, the Lowe Syndrome Trust and Sailability Australia.

Barnstaple, UK (PRWEB) January 1, 2007 -- In July 2007, Longboard Skateboarders Sam Benson and Jay Duggan will set off on a 3000km Skateboarding Journey, following in the footsteps of BoardFree's Dave Cornthwaite.

Sam and jay have been skateboarding for 3 years, and only saw it as a hobby until they heard about Dave Cornthwaite's Marathon journeys for charity. Jay came up with the idea of trying to help Dave in any way they could. With BoardFree's support, BeatsWalkinEurope was born.

BeatsWalkin, named after Sam and Jay's local skate shop Beats Workin, will see the longboard enthusiast's skateboard through 6 of the most famous cities in Europe. The journey they have planned currently takes them from North Devon, across the South Coast of England to Folkestone in Kent. From there they will board the EuroStar and cross the British Channel into Calais in France.

From Calais they will head through Lille and on into Paris before heading south into Marseille and across the Pyrenees into Spain. The trip then takes them through Barcelona and Valencia on the Mediterranean coast before they head north through Madrid on into Santander.

All that lies ahead of them then is an overnight ferry crossing and a relatively short skate from Plymouth to Barnstaple in North Devon. In total, the trip is planned to take between 8 and 10 weeks to complete, averaging 30-35km per day.

BeatsWalkin is part of the BoardFree initiative, which Dave Cornthwaite founded in 2005. BoardFree and BeatsWalkin aim to raise funds and awareness for three children's charities; Sailability Australia, Link Community Development and the Lowe Syndrome Trust, as well as promoting sport to youngsters of all ages and abilities by encouraging a 'no-limits' approach to life.

More San Francisco tips

first of all, are you staying at the W Hotel? If not, it is next to Moscone and the bar in there called XYZ is really great - and the hotel a nice place if you can stay there. Around the downtown area, for lunch especially an SF tradition is Tadich's Bar and Grill - old Czech family run place since prohibition when my grandfather used to pick up gin there in the 1920s to bring down to university! Quite the mob deal then. But they have great ciopinno- and seafood. Also for lunch head up into North Beach (Italian town, next to Chinatown) and have a coffee at Cafe Trieste- off Colombus Street (I think on Green Street) and try lunch at Rosa Pistola- really great food, packed but worth it. Dont go to any other touristy places there, not worth it except the most famous and MUST DO bars at night are Vusuvios (where Ken Kesey, all the beatnics hung out), and Tosca (hard to get into, but worth it if you can get in the door). I also like some of the bars around the strip clubs on Broadway- but I forget the names, they are hard to get into too but if you go early is ok. Great indie music and really local place - "The Bottom of the Hill" it is in Potrero Hill which is also very local, but close area to your hotel, quick cab ride- sort of grunge scene, but will likely go under as Indie Music bars are a dying breed. If you want to head to Fishermans Wharf and try traditional SF crab, go to Scomas, no other place down there I suggest, too touristy, but Pier 23 is cool- it is up towards South Beach and has live music and local scene, esp. thurs- sat nights,but not sure if the music is that great anymore. For going out- I suggest the Mission which is more like Brixton and Soho mixed here with more of the West End when you enter the door- but great clubs - esp. Starlight Lounge (on 16th Street, near Valencia), real Mexican feast and best margaritas at Puerto Allegre (on Valencia St. between 16th and 17th), best sushi in town (hard to get into but worth the wait and BEST cocktails) is called Blowfish Sushi I think it is on Bryant st, in the Mission also. Then there is very popular and swanky bar also- Foreign Cinema with the bar inside called Lazlos- and across the street is classic place called Docs Clock with shuffleboard and strongest cocktails (in pint glasses) one margarita will kick your ass. Nicolas Cage hangs out there. Also the Make Out Room is a good bar with live music over on 22nd st, near Valencia. If you want more upscale the 'Marina' people- the girls that wear pearls and suits or whatever- then go to Russian Hill or Nob Hill- there are great places, esp. for a laugh the Tonga Room- an old 50s Hawaiian theme tiki lounge- one of the last remaining in the country- in the Fairmont Hotel and the Red Room is near there, also Gary Danko- very expensive, best food in town. To head out to the beach which you must do and please check the surf for me at Ocean beach and drink beer is at the end of Golden Gate park in the Avenues and I forget the name, but it is the only restaurant there- they make their own beer too.
