i am just realizing computer became one of the important part of our life. Somehow i did not have internet at my new home that i just moved in. The first two days was hard to not have internet to chat and to check my mails. But now i am quiet okay with doing it at the library. How come something become part of your life and we all really accept it. Its just matter of technology also same time as a human being we create the tool to entertain our self. lots of people are working to find ways to people have something to do during their spare time and make the life easy. We are creating our life by our self. Which is has good and bad parts. But most of people try to avoid the down side of the creation of human. However, we do have big possibility to attracted by it any way.

NAADAM FESTIVAL
Dear all
I would like to share about Mongolian national festival with you this time.
"Naadam" festival is the most famous celebration across the country. Its called the three manly sports: wrestling, archery and horse racing. Naadam is celebrated across the country and every town and village will celebrate. In Ulaanbaatar (capital city), wrestling takes place in the main Naadam stadium. The Naadam stadium will be full of people dressed in costumes representing all Mongolia’s ethic groups. Archery competitions are outside the stadium everywhere, while the famous, perilous horse races take place ourside the city.
Wrestling
Wrestling is the most popular of all Mongol sport. Mongol-style wrestling originated some seven thousand years ago. The technique of Mongolian wrestling is distinctly national. There are no weight categories or age limits in Mongolians national wrestling.
Horse-racing
The horses for the Naadam races are selected a month before the big day. They are then taken separate from the herd and trained. The riders children are 5 to 12. Mongolian children of these ages are good riders, as both boys and girls have been riding since three years old. As the popular saying goes, “The nomad is born in the saddle”. Small saddles are made especially for children, but they usually prefer to ride without them. The distance varies according to the ages of the horses.
Archery
Information about archery can be found in literary and historical documents of the 13th century and even before. The distance is about 75 meter for men and 60 meter for women. Men shoot about 40 arrows and must score not less than 15 points and women shoot 20 arrows and must score at least 13 point using the same bow as the men.
