Si une personne veut souscrire à une assurance il y a 2 possibilités :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- si elle a un travail la souscription se fait à travers son travail, la demande est alors rarement rejetée.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-si cette personne n'a pas de travail, il y a alors des conditions_très_draconniennes : par exemple ne dévier de son poid idéal que de 5kg est suffisant pour se voir refuser l'assurance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainsi quand quelqu'un vient à l'hôpital "Kayser" les infirmières sont tenues de l'envoyer d'abord au "billing service", un genre de guichet où on s'assure qu'il est solvable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais ce quelqu'un n'est pas solvable ?&lt;br /&gt;Alors si ses revenus sont suffisamment (très) faibles, il peut bénéficier d'un service appelé "medicare", sinon il peut rentrer chez lui et se débrouiller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le plus fou est que si on quitte son travail, l'assurance qu'on avait contracté au travers de  l'entreprise n'est valable que 18 mois après, après 18 mois plus aucune couverture maladie !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfin environ 30% de la population est d'origine mexicaine, et issue d'une immigration plus ou moins clandestine, c'est la main d'oeuvre de la Californie, on les trouve dans les jardins, les cuisines, les stations services. On m'a dit que l'économie de la Californie (plus riche état des USA)  reposait en partie sur le travail des ces mexicains, et donc sur des gens sans _aucune_ couverture sociale (si immigrant clandestin ou travail au noir)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21027847-114365104349491719?l=xavier-en-amerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xavier-en-amerique.blogspot.com/feeds/114365104349491719/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21027847&amp;postID=114365104349491719' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21027847/posts/default/114365104349491719'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21027847/posts/default/114365104349491719'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xavier-en-amerique.blogspot.com/2006/03/lassurance-maladie-aux-usa-social.html' title=''/><author><name>Xavier Prudent</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01334429923226161777</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21027847.post-114254174597447077</id><published>2006-03-16T12:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-16T12:42:26.033-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Des nouvelles de la coloc.... / some news from the colocation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Petit à petit on s'organise... / gradually we organize our home....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1464/2124/1600/IMG_1154.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block;

Vaste programme vu que je n'en avais jamais fait...&lt;br /&gt;Je quitte le labo 3h plus tôt et pars dévaliser le safeway du coin (c'est le nom du supermarché ici), premier défi : trouver l'équivalent (comestible) des ingrédients de la choucroute. Finalement ce n'est pas si difficile, je quitte Safeway avec dans le coffre&lt;br /&gt;-1 saucisse polonaise (il n'y avait pas de montbeliard ou morteau)&lt;br /&gt;- des saucisses de francfort,&lt;br /&gt;-du lard en tranche et un roti de porc&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;-8 pommes de terre&lt;br /&gt;et bien sur 2kilogs de choucroute, du cumin, des clous de girofle, du thym, 12 bouteilles de bière, 3 bouteilles de blanc (dont un gewurtz californien fort bon) plus une de rouge (du zinfandel), en enfin de la moutarde et une baguette de pain.&lt;br /&gt;En suivant scrupuleusement la recette et après 1h30 de cuisson j'avais donc 5kg de choucroute fumante et délicieuse ! Même le petit garçon de 22mois de Vincent en a mangé. Etaient présents Vincent avec sa femme et leur fils Antonin, Nicolas et sa femme, Jérome et Emmanuel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A la fin du repas j'ai même eu droit à des cadeaux :-) un livre de photos de Californie vraiment magnifiques, un bon d'achat pour une librairie (ils appellent ça "gift card", c'est assez à la mode en ce moment) et une place pour un match des Giants, l'équipe de base ball de San Francisco, j'ai été bien gaté !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avec Jérome et Emmanuel nous sommes ensuite allés avec nos 2g chacun dans un bowling que nous avions repéré le long de El Camino real où nous avons joué jusqu'à 1h du matin. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Voici 2 videos prises au bowling :&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lappweb.in2p3.fr/~prudent/bow1.avi"&gt;http://lappweb.in2p3.fr/~prudent/bow1.avi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lappweb.in2p3.fr/~prudent/bow2.avi"&gt;http://lappweb.in2p3.fr/~prudent/bow2.avi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En somme une très bonne soirée :-) merci à tous, en particulier à Nicolas qui est venu malgré une mauvaise grippe. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;////////////&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I had invited Vincent, Nicolas and their wives, with Emmanuel and Jérome on friday evening with the purpose of cooking a sauekraut. A ambitious wish considering I had _never_ cooked one... so I left lab 3hours earlier than usually and went to SafeWay (the local supermarcket). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1st challenge : to find the (comestible) equivalent ingredients, and eventually it wasnot as hard as expected : I left SafeWay with 1 polish sausage (I didnt find any morteau or montbeliard sausages), frankfurt sausages, sliced bacon and a pork roast, and of course 2kgs of sauerkraut, some carway seeds, cloves nails, thyme, 12 bier bottles, 3 bottles of white wine (really californian wine match french ones ) 8 potatoes and finally some mustard and a "baguette"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Back home, after having followed a recipe and 1h30 of cooking I had 5kg of good smelling sauerkraut, even the 22months boy of Vincent ate some. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the end of the meal I was offered some nice gifts :-) A book of pictures from California (gorgeous), a gift card for a librairy in Palo Alto and a seat for a match of the Giants, the base ball team of San Francisco.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then with Jérome and Emmanuel we went to a bowling along El Camio Real where we played until 1am&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are 2 videos taken while playing &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lappweb.in2p3.fr/~prudent/bow1.avi"&gt;http://lappweb.in2p3.fr/~prudent/bow1.avi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lappweb.in2p3.fr/~prudent/bow2.avi"&gt;http://lappweb.in2p3.fr/~prudent/bow2.avi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thus despite a gloomy weather (let say a "fresh weather") we all had a very pleasant evening, and it was one of the most outstanding birthday I had,  Thank you everybody, especially Nicolas who came while he was sick :-):-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

En plus les americains en prennent un soin tout particulier, il y a meme une rue avec un arbre au milieu, ils n'ont pas voulu le couper et les voitures doivent le contourner :-) Pour info ces arbres servent aussi a faire des futs de vins tres recherches, on en retrouve jusqu en Alsace /&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have fallen in love with oaks here, they are often tall and majestic. Moreover Americans do take care about them, there is even a street with an oak in the middle, they didnt want to cut it and now cars have to bypass it :-) For information, californian oaks are used to manufacture wine barrel, these barrels are world wide famous and I have even found some in Asace.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21027847-113744533099600102?l=xavier-en-amerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xavier-en-amerique.blogspot.com/feeds/113744533099600102/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21027847&amp;postID=113744533099600102' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21027847/posts/default/113744533099600102'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21027847/posts/default/113744533099600102'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xavier-en-amerique.blogspot.com/2006/01/les-chenes-californiens-californian.html' title=''/><author><name>Xavier Prudent</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01334429923226161777</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21027847.post-113744227052541175</id><published>2006-01-16T11:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-16T12:47:43.333-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>FAUNES DU LABO SLAC / ANIMALS AROUND MY LAB&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1464/2124/1600/daims%20024.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block;

C'est un paradis d'oiseaux, de poissons et de toutes les bestioles qui vivent dans la boue.&lt;br /&gt;Ca nous a fait du bien a tous les 2 de trouver un endroit aussi calme a quelques kilometres de PaloAlto qui, en 2002, etaient quand meme la ville qui detenait le nombre record de meurtres aux USA.&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;RIDING IN PALO ALTO BAYLANDS&lt;br /&gt;last sunday, as the weather was shiny Emmanuel and I took our bikes to go to Baylands. Baylands are swamps on the eats of Palo Alto, on the shore of San Francisco bay. These places are protected, here the water from inner land mix with the salty water of the ocean, as a consequence one can observe there both species from oceans and species from river.

It is for the survey of this big stuff 24h/24 &amp;amp; 7d/7 that I am here :-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21027847-113737882772863615?l=xavier-en-amerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xavier-en-amerique.blogspot.com/feeds/113737882772863615/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21027847&amp;postID=113737882772863615' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21027847/posts/default/113737882772863615'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21027847/posts/default/113737882772863615'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xavier-en-amerique.blogspot.com/2006/01/babar-est-accessible-au-sommet-de.html' title=''/><author><name>Xavier Prudent</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01334429923226161777</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21027847.post-113737879266819730</id><published>2006-01-15T18:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-15T20:36:22.566-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1464/2124/1600/Picture%20021.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1464/2124/320/Picture%20021.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1464/2124/1600/Picture%20016.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1464/2124/320/Picture%20016.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1464/2124/1600/Picture%20015.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1464/2124/320/Picture%20015.1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1464/2124/1600/Picture%20014.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1464/2124/320/Picture%20014.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COLOCATION - MON ADRESSE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je ne sais pas si je vous l'ai deja dit mais les loyers ici sont CHERS !&lt;br /&gt;.... et pas chers gentil, non non ...du cher de combat! minimun 1000$ par mois pour une chambre !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avec 2 autres thesards francais, Emmanuel et Jerome, on a donc decide de se mettre en colocation pendant les 6 prochains mois.

Apres etre passe devant un viel immeuble couvert de cuivre et qui abrite un cafe appartenant a Francis Ford Coppola nous traversons le quartier chinois. La communaute chinoise a San Francisco est la plus vaste au monde, alors autant vous dire que c'est re-depaysement quand on se promene dans ce quartier : pharmaicies traditionnelles, journaux en chinois, bouddhas en plastique brillant, resto pas chers, je me croiyais reparti en Chine! Les panneuax des rues etaient meme ecrits en anglais ET en chinois.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A midi direction chez "Lorie's" un resto style annee "happy days" avec des vieux flippers d'epoque et une deco annees 60, meme la musique et les tenues des serveurs sont demodes!&lt;br /&gt;Aussitot assis, un serveur de 2m, machouillant un chewing gum, nous demande "Bonjour les mecs vous voulez quoi?" (en anglais bien sur) on nage dans la caricature :-) Je prend un "lorie's burger" avec des frites a l'ail, en boisson : coca (a volonte).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apres le repas nous partons a la tour Coit, erigee par une femme appelee Lillie Coit en honneur des pompiers qui avaient sauves San Francisco lors du tremblement de terre de 1906. Au sud de la ville les maisons sont construites les unes a cote des autres et en suivant les courbes de niveaux, ce qui donne l'impression d'un long chapelet (cf. photos).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La nuit tombant vite (a 17h il fait nuit), nous repartons chez nos chers logeurs.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21027847-113737795388399914?l=xavier-en-amerique.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xavier-en-amerique.blogspot.com/feeds/113737795388399914/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21027847&amp;postID=113737795388399914' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21027847/posts/default/113737795388399914'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21027847/posts/default/113737795388399914'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xavier-en-amerique.blogspot.com/2006/01/arrivee-san-francisco-le-3-decembre.html' title=''/><author><name>Xavier Prudent</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01334429923226161777</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
