"Gap Year Adventures"
Our Heroines
Rivka is definitely based on the Discworld equivalent of a Jewish Isreali person
Mariella is definitely South African... Hopefeully a Post-apartheid South Africa. If not I hope she has no truck with the idea.... She seems to be the sort of person who would hate that idea so much... (and want to do something about it...)
Cenotia
Definitely somewhere in Isreal... Klatch is probably Palestime You can't make it anymore obvious by having it near/on the Golem Heights.... :)
Tzit and Otherz
The whole first scene - Totally not the stoning scene with John Cleese from Monty Python's Life of Brian!
Dibblers get everywhere don't they?
