Multi-culti

The crowd at the two stations has been incredibly international as of late.

For a few days at Pararé there were three Germans, one Austrian, three Spaniards and this little American. There actually wasn't anyone French there...or even a staff member for that matter. It felt a lot like summer camp for big kids.

At the Inselberg camp there is a group which includes an American, three Brazilians, three Saramaca (not sure if they're French Guianian or Surinamese), one Spaniard and a Peruvian. A Brit will be joining them shortly. Last night at dinner the American spoke with the Peruvian by way of Portugese and the Spaniard spoke with one of the Saramacas by way of English. It's like I expect New York to be except that everyone is actually comingling.

Earlier in the week I discovered that writing in French on an Austrian keyboard is far easier than writing English on a French Keyboard.
