Ming is our project admin assistant. I call her the Wolf, after the Harvey Keitel character in Pulp Fiction. She can get anything done. She's the one who can get you a reservation to that "impossible to get into restaurant" or get your computer fixed or tell you what bus to take to get anywhere. She knows how to get it done - which makes sense, she's American. She found us the store to buy ping pong gear and she'll definitely be the one to find us our javelin. She had her kids in tow last night for the ping pong battle and they were characters. Enzo is on the left and Manon is on the right.
They understand English but only spoke French to me in response. Apparently they can speak English but it's not their most comfortable language. Enzo was very upset when he couldn't play ping pong with us all night. He stormed around, yelling at us, putting dirt on the ping pong table. Manon was much more shy though I managed to coax her to climb to the top of a nearby jungle gym. She was scared at first but had a huge smile when she reached the summit, calling for Mommy to look as she touched the top bar.
Enzo only calmed down after running around for 2 hrs and then gnawing on a baguette. I think this was the only moment when he sat completely still.

LOL. yeah, kids do have a tendency to only stay still when you shove food in their mouths, but even that doesn't last long. Glad you got to hang out with some kiddos, since we're all grown up and everything.
@Mach - yes, it was fun. My GF thinks I hate kids, am bad with kids and etc and so forth. Can you set her straight, please? Ok, babies I can do without but kids are fun when you can give em back....
Yeah, but it's hard to give your own babies back: nobody's willing to take them!
