True supporters support their club in both good and bad times. One of the best ways to support their beloved club is singing encouraging songs. Learn these songs and become the 12th man on the team. In a period with poor performance by the Liverpool football team and a critical financial situation in the club, it`s possible to differ between loyal and not loyal supporters. Every true supporter going to Anfield Road should know the songs that are chanted on the Kop - for supporting the club and team as best they could!

Behind the big white house we could observe the ruins of the Vaerne Monestary, Værne kloster, Rygge, Moss, in Norway. The monastery is located in a big green garden with tall oak trees and beautiful avenues. In November previous year it was reported a sensational archeological discovery on the site near the mentioned ruins: a stone building, about fifty meters long, was found underground. It lies west of the main building on Vaerne. Is it really a Knights Hospitaller monastery that has been found there?

First and foremost my aim for the tour in April 2002 was to explore Stonehenge outside London. I also visited the beautiful Georgian City of Bath and admired some of the most amazing architectural sights in Europe, including Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent, the Circus, Assembly Rooms and the Pulteney Bridge. The most amazing of all in the City of Bath was exploring the Roman Baths, built around thermal springs, which have been supplying water for over 2,000 years.

Actual the Indian tribe is not Mohican, but Mohegan. When I was a little boy I find it very exciting to read James Fenimore Cooper`s dramatic historical novel The Last of the Mohican. On my way travelling around in Canada for over 10 years ago, I met some Indians with origin from the Huron tribe involved in the novel. In 1992 director Michael Mann turned this story into an exciting and visually stunning adventure on movie.

Marco Polo travelled around in China for 17 years. Is it possible that he didn`t observe the Great Wal of China, or even hear about it, in this period? Or did`t he go to China at all? Maybe Marco Polo had some good reasons for not telling the world about one of the most impressing human made wonders in the world.

When James Fenimore Cooper`s dramatic novel the The Last of the Mohicans was published in 1826, he made the North American Indian tribe Mohicans immortal. Not just as a myth, but he also made the public aware of that this tribe is still existing. Today the last of the Mohicans live on a reservation in Shawano County, in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It`s few hundred of them and they are still going strong!

ExplorersWeb has covered hundreds of expeditions in 2009. "It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare," said Mark Twain once. As the editor in ExplorersWeb writes 23rd December 2009: You might be surprised to find this quote in a place covering hard adventure. Yet real explorers know that true heroes own the full spectrum of guts. Who will be awarded this year?
