It's a tradition that the relation ships and lovers put a locker on the famous 'love' bridge of Paris and throw away the key on the river. This is a tradition because it means that the locker is the relation and if the key is in the river, nobody can get the key so it means that anything and nobody can open the locker, like a eternal love. The bridge is weighed down with 50 tonnels of metal. The bridge were closed because the workers have to remove all the locks.

In Benin, there is a city named Cotonou that have three milion people with a small numbers of streets that haven't a names. Nowadays, the population of this city are starting to name the streets and paint numbers on the houses because it will helps the city and the residents to live better and easer. I think they could start before calling the streets or putting numbers on the houses because Cotonou is a city and it's difficult visiting or living in.

- boost (an action that makes something better, happier or more successful)
