Shoyu Ramen / Shio Ramen / Tori Paitan Ramen / Black Sesame Ramen / Hiyashi Chuka at Kodawari Ramen in Paris
Jidori shoyu soba, with additional ajitama egg. The noodles are made in the shop.
Decent ramen for Paris but quite overrated.
Observatory of Tour Montparnasse
The Tour Montparnasse is a 210-meter office tower in Paris. It was the tallest building in France until 2011. Its roof is open to the public and provides a great view on the city.
Mont Rond / Col de la Faucille
Last winter, on Christmas day, I went to Col de la Faucille, in the French Jura near Geneva. There is a ski resort there but there was barely any snow. I took the ropeway to the summit of Mont Rond and walked around for a bit.
Dan Dan Noodles / Spicy Noodle Soup at Trois Fois Plus de Piment in Paris
It is possible to choose the spice level from 0 to 5. I got level 1 since I had read it was very spicy but it wasn’t really though…
Geneva in winter
I went to Geneva on Christmas eve of last year. I walked around at random then headed to Ferney-Voltaire, in France.
"Freehand Raster Georefencer" plugin for QGIS
Some time ago, I released a plugin for QGIS called “Freehand Raster Georeferencer” that allows interactive raster georeferencing. It implements some tools (move, rotate, scale, stretch…) to manipulate a raster directly on the map, on top of the other layers. This is in contrast with the standard raster georeferencing tool of QGIS, which needs control points and then an export to be able to check the georeferencing.
