Until last year, the Crawford sisters spent a
lot of their free time watching TV. When they
got home from school, Sally, 13, and Grace,
12, liked to lie on the sofa and watch their
favorite TV programs. The TV even stayed
on during family meals.
So, when parents Ben and Tanya decided
to ban TV, the sisters weren't very pleased.
Then they heard their parents' plan and got
excited about the idea.
Ben and Tanya made a list of 100
altemative activities that they wanted to
do with the family during the year. The list
included things like leaming to make bread,
sleeping on a beach, climbing a mountain in
winter, and flying a giant kite.

destinations, and celebrities and visitors from all over the world come here
to enjoy themselves. David and Victoria Beckham have a house here, and Brad

Dubai's leisure facilities are world-famous. The Aquarium and Underwater /
Zoo at Dubai Mali has one of the largest tanks in the world. Visitors can walk ·

animals on the planet. Then there is the Wild Wadi Water Park. This is

indoor ski resort with 22,500 square meters of real snow, complete with
ski slopes, a play area, and real penguins. This spectacular facility uses
the latest technology to produce fresh snow every day of the year.
Far people who want a quieter time, one of the most popular
excursions in Dubai is a trip on a traditional Arab sailing boat,
called a dhow. Another relaxing option is an afternoon at the
Dubai Museum. The museum is located in the oldest building
in the country, the Al Fahidi Fort. lt is a great place to learn

Ask people nowadays, "Have you ever been abroad?" and the
answer is often. "Yes. 1 have." Many people have visited more
than one foreign country. But James Asquith is special. Ask
James and you get an incredible answer. Because James, who is
only twenty-four. has visited 196 countries! He is the youngest
person to have visited every country in the world.

James started traveling in 2008. when he spent three months in

Vietnam. Since then, he has visited countries from Australia to
Zambia. He has met sorne wonderful people along the way. and
he has had sorne amazing experiences. He has walked along the
Great Wall of China and seen Rome by bike. He has crossed the
Nile by boat and traveled through the deserts in Jordan by carne!.

The longest time James spent anywhere was six months in

Africa. He traveled by car and bus from Senegal to the Congo
and then back up along the east coast of Africa by train. A lot
of smaller countries had difficult border controls. and James
sometimes had to go through on foot. He needed to have ali
his travel visas in order. He was lucky, though. and never had a
serious problem.

Jarnes's hobby has not been cheap. He started working part-

time on weekends when he was sixteen, and he also took part-
time jobs in bars and hostels while he was on the road. During
his five years of traveling, James has spent thousands of pounds
to achieve his ambition.

Javari Valley
The Javari Valley lndigenous Reserve is a lndigenous Reserve
proteéted area of Amazonian rain forest in Brazil.
lt is tne home of the greatest'1'concentration of
\s81ated groups of indigenous people anywhere in
the world.
lndigenous people have often been the victims w
of i\legal hunting, mining, drug trafficking, and
cattle ranching. lf they leave the forest, they
cannot find work, and because their bodies have
no resistance to common Western diseases, they
often fall ill and die in terrible conditions.
Most of the people in the Javari Valley prefer
to avoid contact with tne outside world. They
live in the middle of the rain forest in communal
longhouses called malocas. They cultivate gardens
for food and hunt animals with bows and arrows.
They use plants frorn the forest for medicine.
In the past. outsiders tried to contact these
isolated groups. They traveled up rivers by canoe
and walked over the mountains and through the
dense rain forest. lf they found an isolated group,
they gave the aborigines presents and tried to
convince them to move out of the forest.
Nowadays, governments protect these
groups. Researchers must respect the culture of
the indigenous tribes and must not try to change
thern with Western technologies and teachings.
They must also keep the location of the tribes
a secret. ln this way, anthropologists hope to
preserve the tríbes' culture and knowledge.

"rite of passage" is a celebration that marks In Latin America, many people celebrate

A the transition from one stage oflife to

another. One important occasion in many
cultures is the transition from being an adolescent
to becoming an adult.
In many Christian countries, boys and girls around
the ages of thirteen or fourteen often celebrate
their spiritual maturity with the sacrament of
confirmation. After that, they
can take Communion. In
sorne Jewish traditions, girls
celebrate their bat mitzvah
when they are twelve, and
boys have a bar mitzvah
when they are thirteen. Befare
teens celebrate their bar or bat
mitzvahs, their parents
are responsible for
their actions, but
after the bar or bat
mitzvah, boys and
girls are responsible
for their own actions.
a gírl's fifteenth birthday with a
quinceañero party. In Brazíl, these events
are called bailes de debutantes. There is a
similar custom in the Philippines, where
girls have a debut party when they are
eighteen. At the party, seventeen of the girl's
friends give her roses and her father gives
her the last rose. Then eighteen boys and
eighteen girls dance together. After this, girls
can get married and have families.
In Australia, traditional aboriginal
adolescents went on a walkabout. They
left home to walk in wild country for six
months. When they returned, they were
not children anymore; they were adults.
Sorne young aborigines still go on
walkabouts today.
Ali ofthese examples show
anthropologists what social

 o New orleans
Mardi Gras is a festival that happens in

' New Orleans during the Carnival season.

lt lasts for about two weeks. There are
street parades with floats every day,
and masquerade balls and parties at
night. People on the floats wear fantastic
costumes. They dance and throw beads
and small toys into the crowds. More than
300,000 visitors come to New Orleans
every year for Mardi Gras.
Mardi Gras started at the beginning of the
19th century. lt became a state holiday in
1875. New Orleans has celebrated Mardi
Gras every year since, even during the First
and second World wars. In 2005, Hurricane
Katrina destroyed many parts of New
Orleans, but it didn't stop Mardi Gras and
the 2006 parades were a great success.

Tahuantinsuyo is a folk music group from

the Andes that performs in the USA. They
use traditional instruments and colorful
costumes during their performances. The
group started performing at El Café Latino
Americano and The Alternative Museum,
two very special places in New York City.
When they became more popular, they
performed in large concert halls and at
sorne of the most important international
folk festivals.

The members of Tahuantinsuyo believe it is

important to keep traditional music alive.
When countries develop, their traditions
often become less important. Younger
people think traditions are old-fashioned
and they prefer to play more modern music
or fusion styles. Tahuantinsuyo wants to
help people who live outside their own
country to reunite with their traditions.

The members of Tahuantinsuyo are:

Guillermo Guerrero (founder and director), Fernando Leyva,
John Freire, Andrés Jiménez, Alcides Loza, Saúl Guerrero,
and sorne times César Vele.
