One million dollars is offered to anyone who can throw a ball into the hole located at the foot of the mountain in South Africa. (see second picture inside the post).
To give you an idea of the distance I will tell you - once the ball is launched, it stays about thirty seconds in the air, flying almost half of a kilometer! The players are brought at the top of the mountain on a helicopter.
Do you often complain about some stuff on Twitter or Facebook? Maybe some things irritate you or the way they function. Well, stop complaining and look how African bloggers work. Actually, one African blogger from Monrovia, Liberia - Alfred Sirleaf. He writes his « daily news » on a big blackboard. He employs people to report him news around the city and country. He uses symbols like military helmets for the illiterate people. There is also a place for ads and there are people who’re willing to pay for them to put their ad. The price varies from $5-15 depending upon the section on the blackboard. Alfred Sirleaf is planning to open such spots in different parts of the city to pass information for those who are unable to go on the Internet, to have a TV or even to buy newspapers.
This is my favorite martial art of all. It’s very physical, rhythmic and simply beautiful.
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that makes a ritual of movements from martial arts, games, and dance. It was brought to Brazil from Angola some time after the 16th century.
I made a big selection of pictures that I liked the best. More of them you’ll see after the jump.
