    Taize is a little village in France, near Lyon

    It's formally ecumenical community, but :

    I was there last year (I'm atheist)... and it was a great time. a lot of fun, cheap drink, marijauna, sex... and a little (or even nothing :)) of religion

    There was about 5000 young people from all around the world. and more than 80 % of these people just looking for fun...

    I will planning to visit Taize also this year, between 17. and 25. july

    what do you think about Taize?

    Some guys from my school went there last year... well, they told us it was great but they're a bunch of stupid idiots and I think they were drunk and stoned the whole time long... I'd really like to go there some time, seems a nice opportunity to meet people from all over Europe

    not just from europe, you can meet people from dominican republic, ethiopia, sudan, mali, brasil...

    and, don't worry, there is nothing catholic there... just one church, like in every other village

    Justyna (SunAngel) told me she went there and that it was very very good!

    or is it these Taize meetings all over the Europe (some religious thing, I think) ?
    Like the one in Hamburg last winter...

    I dunno, sounds like a nice place (Taize), anyway!
    Whereabout is it? Which part of France?

    Love,
    Borut
