World Ice Golf Championship, Greenland
For more than 10 years the World Ice Golf Championship has been en as the most extreme golf competition in the world. In 1997, architect Rolf Henning-Jenn was asked to design the world’s first ice golf cour among huge iceberg and heavy snows of Uummannaq, a small town on the west coast of Greenland-600 km north of the Arctic Circle. There golfers face extreme temperatures as their first task to deal with. Then it will take players time and patience to accommodate themlves to white “green” and orange balls to play with. Determined by weather conditions, this event is scheduled for March each year in Greenland.
Balloon Fiesta, the United States
Have you ever been taken to the sky in a hot air balloon? The yearly Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta gives you the chance to enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the city and countryside.

When I was a kid, my mother ud to tell me Chine folk stories before bedtime. My mother is an immigrant. She told me tho stories so that I wouldn’t forget the culture that
she had left. Even though I hadn’t ever experienced that culture at firsthand, she wanted me to remember it.
Of all her stories, my favourites were about Sun Wukong, the monkey king who had many superpowers. Eventually, though, I moved on to other kinds of heroes. When I was in the fifth grade, I bought my first American comic book. Afterwards, Superman, Spider-man and Captain America replaced Sun Wukong in my heart.
I became crazy about comic books. I loved them so much that I went on to work towards a career in comics. Today I am a professional graphic novelist. My most well-known book is American Born Chine, published in 2006. Monkey King is one of my main characters, but the book isn’t direct adaptation of my mother’s stories. Instead, I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American. The character I knew from my childhood expresd his emotions without rervation. I needed him to emote on my pages.
For rearch, I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West, the centuries-
old Chine classi that first told the monkey king’s story. As I read it, I realized that American superheroes hadn’t replaced Sun Wukong in my heart after all -they were simply Western expressions of everything I loved about the monkey king. The monkey king’s story has lasted for centuries and travelled across continents and cultures. Journey to the West is the very definition of “timeless”.
My mother now has Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症). She’s forgotten all of the stories she ud to tell me, but I remember. In many ways, I’ve built my whole career on tho moments before bedtime. With every comic book I create, I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong.
