108. Polyglot


From, “Brussels: The Chocolate Trail,” by Amy M. Thomas, 12/22/11, The New York Times:

“Chocolate — like fashion, wine and finance — has become a complex cultural phenomenon. There is basic chocolate for the masses, artisanal chocolate for purists and avant-garde creations for connoisseurs. In Brussels, a polyglot city at the geographic and cultural crossroads of Europe, you get it all.

Polyglot: multilingual; widely diverse (as in cultural or ethnic origins)
