I'm not sure. I guess it would be nice to have all the fresh air.

6. What would you find hard about living in an African village?

Having to do "chores". I don't have do do any :)

I'm reading a book called //Alex Rider : Snakehead//, and I just started it so it's hard to explain. But I really like the series, which started out with Alex Rider : Stormbreaker. It's a series about a teenage spy who lives with his housekeeper and saves te world over and over again. It's really suspenseful and dangerously exciting.

Sports
 * Martial Arts**

Martial Arts are one of the most common sports in Japan. The four traditional martial arts are judo, kendo, karate-do, and aikido. In judo, which literally means "the gentle way," the key to overcoming an opponent lies in taking advantage of their strengths. Judo has now established itself as an official Olympic event since its first inclusion in the Games in 1964.




 * Sumo**

Sumo is Japan's national sport and it has a history of over 1000 years. It used to be a way to give thanks for harvests and is still held for many rituals. The traditional name for sumo wrestlers is //Riskishi//. Sumo wrestlers usually weigh between 100 and 200 kilograms. They fight in a ring called a //dohyo//. Professional sumo tournaments take place six times a year and last fifteen days each.
