BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, Out of Place

Café society in Kabul; African exiles in Calais; Panama's cocoa and advertising in France

Surprising discoveries worldwide: Kabul's ladies who lunch; the African histories of migrants in Calais; indigenous cocoa farmers in Panama and advertising edged out in Grenoble

Pascale Harter introduces a clutch of surprising discoveries from around the world. Shaimaa Khalil joins some Afghan "ladies who lunch" in a well-fortified Kabul cafe for pizza, watermelon and talk of politics, security and wedding parties; Chris Simpson reflects on the historical and political education he's been given during conversations with Ethiopian exiles in Nairobi and in the migrant camp called the "jungle" in Calais; Datiane Navanayagam reveals how cocoa farmers from the indigenous Ngobe people in Panama are reaping rewards from their hard work on the crop; and Horatio Clare revels in the advertising-free cityscape of Grenoble, a French city which has banned the billboard.
