As you are walking, talking with a friend, you enter Marceau Park. Your conversation ceases. As you walk through the park, you can be as reserved or as effusive, as taciturn or as eloquent as you care to be, but you don't say anything.
This park is a place of dynamic, cross-cultural, non-verbal communication and goodwill. You just leave your language at the gate. You do anything you would do in a park, interact with people, particularly those you normally wouldn't.
As you leave the other side of the park, your conversation resumes as though never interrupted.-- lurch, Sep 23 2007 (??)
