My favorite example of eccentricity, though, occurred on the final day of the first term, when one student decided that his ice cream bar was more useful as face paint than as tasty nourishment.

The teams' bold performances filled Asians with a pride that football has never before afforded them, and did much to distract them from their countries' stuttering economies and tiresome politics. Yet many of the World Cup's promised...
