This year the 3 euro section of the French school of Pondicherry will be working hand in hand with the bilingual section of the French school of Hong-Kong. The name of our Indian project for 2010 is "Living in a Book", because we are indeed living in a book! Our friends from Hong-Kong will create a travel blog.
