One fine July morning in central Paris.. .. ..
A British IFES-UK staffworker (that's Kade*, far L) is ready to set up a Bible-stand with some of his team-members.
Who's the maniac holding the fold-up table? Oh, that's just Dovi*, a stagiaire - Parisian French, if I'm not mistaken. (No, the men of Paris are not all like that. Really.)
The [very] young man with the bags and the weight of the world on his shoulders hails from the land of the occasional vowel, Poland. Name: Matthew*. Age: Eighteen. Personality: Priceless.
And the token girl? That's Hannah*, who came from Strasbourg on the Franco-German border with two sister stagiaires to join the team. Yes, I'd look a dash embarrassed too, seeing how Dovi's dominating the picture!!

But what's this?
Not so long ago, in a country really only 24 hours' flight away.. .. ..
Non-English-Speaking EUROPEAN WARS!!
Oh, hang on, it's just a mop war between the Netherlands and Poland.
(Jonah* vs. Matthew.)

Meanwhile, the light shines in the darkness upon a Bible and a frisbee, but the darkness has not understood it.
Such an abstract photographic work. Who really needs to go to the Louvre when you've got access to a camera, a book, a piece of sport equipment and a portable lightweight table??!?
________________
Forget that ultimate frisbee.
Meet the ultimate chick magnet of the team. And yes, he's Australian. Mostly, anyway (born Cambridge, UK).
To misquote some famous Slim Dusty song lyrics:
"Love to have a chat with Jonty*, 'cause Jonty's me mate!"
As for my favourite international sisters, Liat* (GBR), Miriam* (FRA) & Claudia* (FRA), I was joking about the chick magnet thing. They've got more sense than that!!

Absolument fou!
Regardez ses yeux - ils sont rouges!!
Oh, the humanity.
What was Asher* doing with that ice-cream cone?
Oh to heck with it - who cares, in the end? .. Just laugh. I did!!
;P
