This is the sleepy island of Saint Kitts in the Caribbean.Three hundred years ago, vervet monkeys were brought here from West Africa along with slaves serving the rum industry. Escaped monkeys acquired a taste for alcohol by eating fermented sugar cane left in the fields. Today they satisfy their thirst by raiding local bars.

Taylor Lautner Calls Lea Michele a Total Sweetheart

http://www.accesshollywood.com/video_1345773
Here's a tip for learning English vocabulary: when you learn a new word or phrase, try not to connect it with a translation into your native language. Instead, associate each new word with a specific mental picture.For example, if you're learning a word that describes someone's personality, think of someone that you know who has that kind of personality.

Tina Turner - SIMPLY THE BEST

I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire 
You come to me, come to me wild and wild 
When you come to me 
Give me everything I need 
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
