State of the World - A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

I did a tour last week with a group of Americans. One couple had bought some gifts along such as New York T-Shirts to give to guides and people they met along the way. They gave some gifts to me, even though I wasn't as "Eastern European" as they had envisaged their Tallinn guide would be!! One of the gifts was a badge. A small, hastily considered choice on their part I'm sure. But I thought it said a great deal about the way the world is headed. A picture truly is worth a thousand words...
