Our intern Hanson is spending the next six weeks living in Paris, taking classes as part of a study-abroad program. We asked him to tell us what it's like over there, being all bright-eyed and new to the international community at large, and apparently the first thing he did was visit the Eiffel Tower…
I'm completely overwhelmed. The next time world leaders get together to agree on things like banning land mines or lowering global emissions, they need to pass a law that requires all cities to be numbered and on a grid. Today I went to the Eiffel Tower, where there were two main events going on: A protest being held by what I can only assume were supporters of the Tamil Tigers (the protesters were holding the Tamil Tiger Flag and they didn't not look like they could be related to M.I.A.), and a tribute to the life and works of Michael Jackson.
