Hey everybody, it's Edmond van der Bijl with another episode of Once Around the Block
  I'm here with the one the only... -Kéthévane Gorjestani. -Hi Ket. -Hello -..I
  went straight to Ket... -Yes... -Is that alright? -That is good...-I have so many nicknames...it's fine... -What, how many nicknames? -I don't
  know "Ket. Kéthé, Kétou" depending on the language ... -And what are you good with all
  of them? -Yeah! -Sometimes people  ask me if I'm okay but I'm like I just
  I'll give you my name in the beginning... -And you choose, yeah... -You do your thing...-Exactly. -Alright so who is Kéthévane?
  -I don't like describing myself with my  work but it is pretty pretty big deal so
  I'm a journalist...and yeah I give  you the news. -You give me the news. -I try...
  -And are you in front of the camera  behind the camera, on paper? -I am now in front of the camera
  I do the sports news on France 24. -ok, I'm going to back to that but you were before we were
  just talking about it before we got  started before you're doing sports you
  were doing... - International affairs... covering everything from protests,
  wars, politics all of that and that was  intense...
  interesting but intense... -Yeah, emotionally draining? -Yes especially...well in France
  of course there were the attacks in 2015 and I was there for both of the January and the
  November and after that I kind of  decided that it was a was as a
  journalist great to be there for that  but at the same time it gets very very
  hard after a while...and then I moved  to sports to like kind of get into
  less intense mode...-So Paris, I mean like  we all know Paris...you live there...-Yes. So
  okay there's like a double question one  is like how is Paris doing? And
  I guess I'm kind of tagging on the last  question being like how did it react to
  those attacks and stuff is it is it  healing is it still... -I think I can say
  that it's healed...there were
  especially after the November ones it  was very weird for like two months
  ...and then I guess after the new year  people were kind of like okay well it's
  happened but we can't let this define  who we are and you kind of saw people
  going back to cafes like living their  lives even though it was still on our
  minds and I remember we we were out  drinking with some friends and we all
  got the alerts that one of the guys had  been arrested yeah we finally found him
  and everyone posted on social media like  this one's for you you asshole and we're
  all out ...it was you know you just  learn to live with it yeah unfortunately
  -It's crazy right the world the world we  live in I guess...So let's like try
  and lighten the mood little bit...like I
  know New York I'm more than off in there
  I haven't been in Paris in a very long  time...how's it going? -Paris is sometimes
  you you know when you compare it to  other big cities like London and New
  York you're a little bit like Paris is a little bit sleepy! -Really?!?! -A little bit, yeah you kind of sometimes you'd like it to be a
  little bit more active and more exciting  but at the same time it's good old Paris
  it's always great... -Is it as romantic  and... -Yeah it is it still is even if it's a little cliché to say it...it's Paris
  -Yeah...I'm gonna jump back to being in  front of the camera...do you enjoy that? - I
  do actually I didn't think I would  because I started out
  wanting to be behind the camera I'm like  filming and reporting but I guess in TV
  at some point you're always gonna...often  gonna end up in front of the camera
  ...and I like both I love being in  front of the camera
  I love being behind the camera and it's  it's kind of cool to think that even
  though you can't see anyone and you feel  you're in the comfort of your little
  studio you're talking to millions of  people out there and for us especially
  its millions of people around the world...  -So what's us?  -France 24 so we're like
  international news channel...based in  France and we air in now four languages
  okay  there's French English Arabic Spanish
  ...and so you get to kind of adapt  your news to everyone you can't you're
  not talking just to Americans right I'm  talking just the French you're talking
  to a wide range of people so I feel like  we have a certain way of telling the
  news that keeps that in mind that we're  not all the same and not everyone
  understands things the same way  -It sounds pretty logical in this day
  and age right boundaries are I mean as  much as they're going up they're also
  coming down...-Exactly. -And yeah crazy...so I was about to say it's kind of like this
  series where it's like you know you just  feel like we're talking but then you
  said the millions of people thing we're  not there yet. -Well, you'll get there! -I'll get there yeah...
  just keep plugging away.  -Exactly... -All right so uh what do you want
  to talk about? -What can we talk about? -I just thought I'd throw that out there...we don't have we have like 30 50
  meters and then we do the WOW moment  that you already know about because
  you've seen this series... -Well I just  like let's talk about you know traveling...
  -Yes. -Traveling is a big thing I mean you took
  your series...abroad...so that's  kind of cool and I just like I don't
  know I think it's a it's a huge thing  and I was thinking about it recently
  when I came here for Thanksgiving and I remember that most people
  in this country get like what 15 days of  vacation a year...-Max!
  ...- and you get it and your like well if you have 15 days your can't
  really go that many places that often  and of course in France we have like
  zillions of days of vacation so we get to you know move around and I think that's so important  in this day and age...
  -I agree...it's a tough thing because yeah a) a lot of people a can't afford it with the
  vacation, can't afford it financially you know...Europe's an
  other great thing in the sense that you  can hop quickly... -Yeah, for two, three days...
  you go somewhere else, speak another language, see other people...-Yeah I'm super down with
  that because I'm so aware of how  stepping out of your comfort zone I mean
  this is so cliche right but it broadens your  horizons you can come less sort of like
  you know focused on yourself and how  great or you know getting stuck in your
  head which is sometimes a little detrimental. -You have to meet different people...that don't think the way you do
  ...don't see the world the way you do  ...-Alright here we go...
  it's the WOW moment, words of wisdom...-Words of wisdom...
  well to what we just said be curious we  try to find new things meet new people
  go to new places read different things  watch different channels don't watch one
  channel all the time like I'm going to  the news but no just broaden your
  horizons. -Yes, awesome...do you want    to say bye to the folks at home? -Bye guys!
  -Thanks for watching everybody see you  next time
