Author's trip in Cherokee


The author visited Qualla Boundary, a town in Cherokee. The mountain scenery surrounding the town was a breathtaking sight. The traditional lifestyle of the Indians, the tribal crafts they made and the historical pageant played six times a week, presented to tourists a rough image of Cherokee in the 18th century. They also visited the souvenir shops which sold rubber tomahawks and war bonnets. There they befriended a local, George, who told them that besides trade, the "Bingo Weekend," where the tourists can enjoy various kinds of games in a large hall, is another source of income for them during off-tour seasons.

Contrarily, if there is the limited number of laws, the domain of man's freedom is widened.

FPSC did not want people to attempt that exam. This much was obvious.
Don't lose heart, not many have been able to do it.
In fact I don't even know 2 people who were able to do it.
