Ever heard of that expression? Of course you have. It is after all, such a famous one.
Can Home be just one place? I think for my case, it is hard to specifically pinpoint it to only one location. Home to me is first and foremost the place where I was raised, the place where my family is. However, as I grow up, expand my wings and explore the world, Home takes on a new meaning. Home can refer to my small place here over in J-land, my host family's house etc. But most of all, it is where my heart truly is: with Marc. The recent but short holiday that we had showed me that just by being together, I find comfort and peace. It is indeed something that I miss on a daily basis. To come home to someone is a wonderful feeling. To have someone next to you, to have a meal with someone, to be hold, hugged and cherished are things so simple but yet so meaningful. Yes, Home is most definitely where the heart is.

Anges et Demons
No, it's not Givenchy's "ange ou demon".
It's the title of a specific book.
"Anges et Demons" refers to another one of Dan Brown's books with Robert Langdon in it. In fact, it is his first adventure. "Da Vinci Code", anyone? The English title is "Angels and Demons". Enlightenment?
I recently acquire a copy of the title in its French counterpart, in a bid to improve my rusty French. This book is proving to be quite the challenge since I don't know it as well as I do for Da Vinci Code.
If you have never heard of the book, it's the story of Rober Langdon helping CERN, the European nuclear research centre in Switzerland uncover the truth behind the gruesome murders of scientists/priests, within the time frame of a ticking bomb. Throw in a hint of the Illuminati, the Vatican, and historical places in Rome, it's another thriller similar in fashion to Da Vinci Code. It's a good book in this sense, but please do not take it at face value.
