It’s the breathtaking beauty that draws tourists to Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, but while the remoteness of the setting may aid its charm it also causes problems.

Soulful singer Sam Smith was the big winner Sunday night at the 57th annual Grammy Awards(格莱美奖) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Smith took home four awards: Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album, Song of the Year and Record of the Year. The British artist’s 2014 album, In the Lonely Hour, was about the painful break-up he experienced last year with someone he loved. He accepted his final award for Record of the Year by thanking the one who broke his heart, “because you got me four Grammys,” he said. The big surprise of the night was in the Album of the Year category. Many expected Beyoncé to win for her self-titled album. But musician Beck took home the award for his album Morning Phase.
Sunday night, Kanye West played a little trick on Beck and the crowd at the Staples Center. He jumped up on stage as Beck was accepting the award. The move was similar to the joking behavior he displayed at the 2009 Video Music Awards. At that event, West interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech to tell the crowd that Beyoncé deserved the award that Swift had just received.

Beyoncé did not go home with empty hands Sunday night. She won three Grammys, including Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance for her song, Drunk in Love. Other Grammy winners included country singer Miranda Lambert and rapper-singer Pharell Williams. The show included a video message from President Barack Obama about ending domestic violence.
Opinions were mixed about the musical performances at the Grammy Awards. Most critics praised Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett for their delivery of Cheek to Cheek. And the crowd roared for the performance of Sia’s big hit, Chandelier. Many critics praised Beyoncé’s performance of the gospel song (福音歌曲), Take My Hand, Precious Lord, but some social media posts show a mixed reaction. Other posts on social media had some fun with the clothing fashions of the night. Some wrote that Rihanna’s large, bright pink dress looked like a “cake topper.”

In 2002, when I returned to Kinshasa, Friedhelm, a fellow doctor, arranged a visit to Zongo Falls for his visiting brother and me.
It was impossible to refuse as one seldom, if ever, got a chance to travel for pleasure in Congo(刚果). Petrol, like all imported goods, was extremely expensive, so casual sightseeing was normally out of the question. I imagine it would cost Friedhelm a good fortune.
An elderly pastor (牧师), having heard about our plan, asked if he could accompany us. He wanted to revisit his childhood village which was near Zongo Falls. This kindly gentleman, who was about 70, had not been to the village for 60 years. There was no bus service, and all other forms of transportation were beyond his means. This was his last and only chance.
We left Kinshasa around 9am. Normally it would take three hours to get to the falls, but we stopped several times along the way, taking in the sights. Finally, around 5pm, we arrived at Zongo Falls.
Even as we admired the beauty of the waterfall, we knew we were running out of time. The sun would set at 6pm, and travel in the Congo was unsafe after dark. We needed to get back to Kinshasa as quickly as possible, which meant that we could not make the one-hour
