There's a party right below my hotel, part of Berlin Pride, and they are singing "A Total Eclipse of the Heart" as an English-French duet. Do you think they'll be willing to make it a trio if I offer them the Czech version?

In 1933 US disability rights advocate and activist Helen Keller visited Yugoslavia. Keller had an audience with King Aleskandar I and visited the Tomb of the Unknown Hero on Avala Mountain. She wrote about her trip in a short unpublished essay 'We go on a Journey'.
