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!

Illuminated Snow

 Snow is falling around in most countries around the world leaving many airports to delay flights and travelers stuck. A white Christmas is truly magical and a beautiful sight. Everyone is freezing cold, the heater is blowing, you are wrapped in blankets drinking hot cocoa, and its all white outside. I really love this feeling and what makes it better is watching movies, I used to always watch 'Grinch.'  In Harbin, China the sight is magnificent with colored lights all around and the snow is illuminating with technicolor. Shirakawa-Go, Japan is a lovely sight with cabins lit up. Looking at all the lights in those two places was really nice.

Feathered Friend Falcon

 Falcons have been both a friend of man and an enemy. It is a mighty glorious bird of prey that eats many things with its sharp talons. For the Olympic sailors they received help from a falcon because normally in the morning there are a bunch of seagulls outside. Seagulls tend to be noisy birds that keep squawking so it is hard for the olympic sailors to sleep. The sailors need a lot of sleep for the competition to be focus and because the sailors must be awake and concentrated in order for better performance. The sailors needed help to get these pests away so then came 'Felix the Falcon.' He helped keep the seagulls away and seagulls usually make a lot of mess because of their 'droppings' so that was also avoided.The falcon was even able to board and be part of the Skandia Team GBR. So thanks to the Felix the Falcon for helping the Olympic sailors!
