I Love Chocolate!
Are you a chocoholic? I am a person who is very fond of chocolates and I eat a lot
of it. Chocolate is said to be the most popular food of all time. People nowadays eat
chocolates in many different forms. We eat chocolate candy, and we drink hot and
cold chocolate drinks. The chocolate we eat today is made from a lot of different
ingredients, but the most important ingredient is cacao bean. The story of cacao
bean and its long journey to stores and supermarkets all over the world started
hundreds of years ago in Mexico. Cacao trees need hot and humid weather and they
originally grew in the Yucatán Peninsula.
The Maya were the first people to eat cacao beans. They picked cacao beans from
wild trees and cleared land to cultivate their own trees. They made a drink from
cacao beans and exchanged the beans for other goods. They also used cacao beans
for religious ceremonies.
Mayan merchants travelled north and introduced cacao beans to the Aztec people.
Soon the cacao bean was part of the Aztecs´ lives. They also used it as a drink, as
part of religious ceremonies and even as money. With 10 beans, they could buy a
rabbit. With 100 beans, they could buy a slave. The Aztecs could not grow cacao
trees because of the dry climate. When the Aztecs conquered the Maya, they asked
for cacao beans as a tribute.

THE ROCKET FESTIVAL

There is only a little rain falls in Northeast Thailand, even during the rainy
season. The
villagers need rain to grow rice. So every year they have a rocket festival. They
believe that if they fire rockets into the sky, rain will fall.

The rockets are very big, much bigger than ordinary fireworks. The men
in the villages
make the rockets themselves. They work in groups. Each group tries to make the
biggest rocket. The day of the rocket festival is very exciting. It is a holiday for
whole village.

The girls wear their best silk sarongs and dance along the road through
the village. Then everybody goes to a field nearby and waits for the men to fire
the rockets. They all watch to see which rocket will go the highest. Only a few
men stand near the rockets when they fire them, because it is quite dangerous.

The men whose rockets go up the highest are very pleased. They have
made the best rocket, and maybe the villagers will have rain to grow their rice.
But the men with least successful rockets and do not go up as high as the other
rockets, are not pleased. The villagers take these men and throw them into a
muddy pond!

A CCTV Footage

A teenager was knocked out by a single punch to the face. Police said to the press as they released
CCTV footage of the incident in a bid to catch his attackers. The 19-year-old had to have a plate
inserted in his jaw after he was attacked by a stranger in Georgetown city centre in the early hours
of 11 September this year.

Georgetown Police said the victim was walking home from a night out when he was approached by
three men he did not know. One of the men can be seen punching the teenager in the face, who
then was crashed to the ground. He suffered grievous bodily harm injuries and had to have surgery
on his jaw, investigators said.

The three men then ran off leaving passers-by to run over and help the victim. One of the passers-
by tried to catch the attackers, yet he was hit on his head. They are described as white, about 20
years old and about 6 feet tall. One of the men was wearing a black hoodie, jeans and white
trainers, another one was wearing a long-sleeved white T-shirt and black trousers, and the third
man wore a white T-shirt, jeans and a small shoulder bag.

"The CCTV highlights how just one punch can cause serious injury and have devastating
consequences," said investigating officer Lim Coffey. “The victim had to have a plate inserted in
his jaw following the assault and we are really keen to bring his attackers to justice. The officer
really hopes by releasing the video footage will prompt someone into coming forward and provide
information of the case.
