Cultural myths from a time past live on in today’s world.

Vanuatu is a series of isolated tropical islands inhabited by a people
who have passed down stories and tradition in oral form for many
generations, keeping alive their traditions and culture.

On the island of Ambrym there is a large rock, named Pouviaserole. The
locals say it was a monster that once was the guardian of the sacred
Olal Bay. According to tradition Pouviaserole, or Guardian, was a huge beast with
the appearance of something between a savage dog and a wild boar. In
the middle of its head there was a large horn.

Learn about the mysterious Tuscans and how they life their lives in Tuscany, Italy.

A true Tuscan is a campanilista - a localist peacock-proud of his or her region, town, village or district! This campanilismo can contribute to the disdain of other, neighboring places and culminates in inter-city soccer matches.

Tuscans tend to remain in the same location throughout their lives Within the distance of just a few kilometers, villages have differing holiday traditions, food specialties and speech cadences.  Yet all Tuscans are united in their pride for their country, in their compassion, in their creative expressions, in their curiosity and willingness to learn, and in their unique philosophy of life.
