Issue No. 19, January 9, 2008
This week, celebrate Epiphany with an Ewok in French Tease, learn WWII history on the road with the Outbound Train, get wired in Paris with Martin in Shadow on the City of Light, and then meet Isabel's closet fascist coworker in Treading Perrier. Then succumb to our shameless plug du jour and join the InterNations Paris social networking phenomenon piloted by Mollie's husband Andy at www.internations.org/paris. When you're done, go back and translate Hobo in Paris into French for your local friends and see if they get all the jokes!
