A. First of all, this is not a travel question, but a homework question. [And you should always do your own homework.] The purpose of homework is to teach you something, e.g. how to find out something you don't already know. And, since you're already on the internet, that's a good place to start. Yahoo and Google searches can yield info on just about any topic and it will be much faster and more complete than waiting for an answer here. Good luck.
