An article from National Geographic magazine on the picture used in last Friday's class. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2002/04/afghan-girl-revealed/

An interesting article from 'The Economist' on bilingualism. http://www.kmkg-mrah.be/horta-lambeaux-pavilion https-//www.1843magazine.com/features/bringing-up-babel

The small, but very beautiful pavilion in the Cinquantenaire Park is definitely worth a visit. The work of art inside, representing the pleasures and vices of men, is very appropriate to our theme of sin and redemption in S6 and S7. Entry is a mere €2.50, but bookings must be made in advance. http://www.kmkg-mrah.be/horta-lambeaux-pavilion
