In Paris, on Thursday night, October 9, I plan to be at the Open Mic reading at Culture Rapide, 103 Rue Julien Lacroix, 75020, around 8 p.m.



I'm posting some of the activities of Jose Rizal, the Philippine National Hero, when he was in Paris in 1883. I'm hoping to "follow some of his footsteps."
