It's too bad Germans need a month-long party to get them in the mood. In contrast, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip live in a state of abject poverty and chronic violence, and their fertility rate is 5.78 children per woman! In Afghanistan the average is 6.69 children per woman. (Source: CIA Factbook) Granted, soccer is probably NOT the reason for those high fertility rates.

大家好，我是臺灣人，從臺灣一個人搬家來到美國，環境很陌生，感覺很孤單。以前在臺灣幾家知名的徵信社工作過，我是一個優秀的徵信工作者，希望早點找到適合自己的工作。希望通過貴站，認識更多的朋友。
