Hello fellow babelians,
How is summer going? Are you road-tripping around Europe or rather enjoying the beautiful concept of staycation?

Well, since you're here, let's go over some of the most popular articles of Cafebabel this summer. A pretty heterogeneous list, if you ask me.
1. Youth in Exarchia, Athens: faces of ‘700 euro generation’ (photo-gallery)
2. Naked scans at Amsterdam airport
3. Teenage oral sex anti-smoking campaign shocks France (photo-gallery)
4. Contraception: buying the morning after pill in Europe
5. German nudists off Poland’s Baltic beaches!
In unrelated news, a new babelblog has just opened, if you're interested by the China-EU relationship and want to contribute, join the Facebook group!
And don't forget to take a look at our new project: the Orient-Express Reporter. We're sending off babelians around the Balkans, starting October 2010, this could be you!

Clue of the month: More clicks for your babelblog 
In order to bring up a post on our special site dedicated to the EU parliamentary elections www.EUdebate2009.eu, please use one of

Writers, translators, local city teams and bloggers have shaped cafebabel.com over the last seven years. Now we open a new chapter with the contributions from photographers. Arguably the most babelian of all contributors, they catch in one visual image where parts of Europe are today, move more often beyond invisible borders and speak in one language that doesn’t need translating.
Every month, the famous cafebabel.com editorial mission ‘EU debate on the ground’ sends three journalists, one editor and one photographer to a European city for on-scene reporting and a live debate. In February, we propose an extra special edition from the Berlinale, the Berlin Film Festival. Are you a film buff ready to live, drink and eat movies for ten days and share your experience live on cafebabel.com? Are you free from 5 – 15 February 2009? Send your application (cv + cover letter) to ole@cafebabel.com by 21 November. Previous experience in film and journalism is very welcome.
Good-bye to Jean-Séb
