25、, Egypt or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada. One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three attempts, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a critical decision.

Poets, singers and musicians from across the globe gathered in Wales to celebrate the tradition of storytelling. “It might seem strange that people still want to listen in age of
31、watching television, but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again,“ said David Ambrose, director of Beyond the Border, an international storytelling festival in Wales. “Some of the tales, like those the Inuit from Canada, are thousands of years old.

Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound.
