Aha!  Another clue as to the whereabouts of our correspondents abroad.  This clue comes to us from an article in Newsweek…

The article investigates the growing “pokemones” group of Chile. The group is made up of technology savvy, fashionable, materialistic Chilean teens with a penchant for tight pants, Japanese anime shirts, piercings, and the Internet. Kids will be kids right? Indeed they will, and these kids, or “pokemones”, like to be kids by having in orgies in public parks.

“The teens call their public orgies ponceo. On a typical Friday afternoon in the Chilean capital of Santiago, hundreds gather in a leafy urban park for a few hours of sexual experimentation. Surrounded by passing strollers, they trade partners multiple times—mostly engaging in anonymous rounds of oral sex. When the party is over, no contact information is exchanged. Same-gender interactions are commonplace, as the lines between hetero- and homosexuality are blurred, partly by the alcohol and drugs consumed, but also by shifting social mores held by Chilean youth, in contrast to their conservative parents.” (via Newsweek)

Now, besides the obvious, why is this of interest to us? Because you can be damn sure that if kids are getting wild in the bushes and there are trading cards involved our boys will be there.
