Issue No. 33, April 16, 2008
This week's Hobo in Paris is proud to introduce a new regular column, Pampered in Paris, by Tina Lynch. She'll be bringing you reviews from inside spas around the city so you know exactly where to go to get your much-needed zen fix. You can start this week with a Vietnamese massage at Ousé-an. Eric Way is back with another guest article, this time navigating through multiple language barriers in the Chinese United Nations. Andy reports in from his lobbying trip in Washington, D.C. in Chili Bubba. By the way, Eric is also in D.C. this week taking part in the lobbying efforts and getting some much-needed sweet tea. This week's French Tease aims to teach you real French. And finally, we have a special guest article from a dear friend who spent last weekend on a very memorable trip with her grandfather. Enjoy!

idea, but there is...

French Tease
By Mollie Coyne
Pardon My French!
Before we moved here, I spoke no French. In an effort to teach me, Andy would give me

dictation before. Apparently the dictée
is a common feature of French education.
I didn't see the point. You
don't learn English th...

Weekend With Paw Paw
By
Clara Smith
Editor's Note:
No, this article has virtually nothing to do with Paris or hobos. So why is it here? As you have probably gathered from past articles about WWII
history in France, I have a particular interest in war history. Partly because my grandfather fought in
France during WW...
