Lions are big cats, a feared predator, but now thats changing. The population for this creature is decreasing sadly. Many people now hunt them down or kill them, they aren't too feared anymore. Also in many restaurants, people are starting to eat lion meat as if its chicken. That sounds disgusting and how could the king of the jungle be eaten. That isn't a good name and I feel that people shouldn't support or buy products or meat of lions. The decreasing of lions could cause many problems to the eco-system and food chain, ex: gazelle population increase and overgrazing. Also, Africa's tourism would go down slightly because the 'king' isn't available.

Indonesia's Rich Cup 'O Coffee
Indonesia is known to be home of the most expensive coffee in the world, Kopi Luwak. The price for a small cup is about $50 while a pound of the coffee is around $300 to $500. Why is this coffee so expensive? Well firstly it has a rich taste and unique aroma. Secondly, it is very hard to get the coffee because the supply is limited. Finally, the coffee is very popular and the demand is high. But how is this coffee made? A wild asian palm Civet climbs up coffee trees and eats up some of the finest coffee beans. Then the beans are digested and thrown out as its feces. Farmers and workers search for the droppings and bring it to processing plants. From there it is thoroughly cleansed and mixed in hot water. Then you'll find it in your cup of coffee. Is that fact disturbing? Well your opinion rules from there. Kopi Luwak is popular in America and Japan but is obviously sold locally in South-East Asia. In South-East Asia Kopi Luwak is sold for $8, better buy it locally.

Playstation 3
The Playstation 3 is the third installment to the Playstation console by Sony. Many people prefer the Playstation to its competitors the 'Wii' and 'Xbox 360.' Why is it 'supposedly better in my perception? Well, firstly the online multi-player is free, massive, interactive/social, cool, and very entertaining. On Xbox a subscription must be made to play online and for Wii, it is not as massive and is slower. Playstation 3 is also a cheaper alternative to play Blu-ray disc's and includes 4 USB slots. It has a wi-fi receiver to use the internet and game titles on the Playstation 3 are much better, also there is the Playstation Move which is motion sensored and is excellent in creativity. Also the Playstation is compatible with its other products like being able to play certains PS2 games and being able to connect to the PSP. The Playstation 3 is long lasting and won't brake down easy on you like the Xbox and the well known 'line of death,' which is these sudden lines which appear when playing to long and unexpectedly shuts off and never opens. So that is a basic idea of the Playstation 3 and you can learn more about it on the official website!
