What is Vuvuzela?

FIFA world cup is going on in South Africa. Results are so far exciting, unexpected and sad for some teams and fans. Whoever wins the game, will grab the Trophy. In the mean time everyone is hearing something like a noise/music from bee or fly. Some people might be enjoying it but seems like many are angry about it and they don't like it.This sound is coming from vuvuzela.

One of my facebook friends declared today that he will not be watching football games onwards because of this vuvuzela.

Football (Soccer) before Arctic Blast: Below Freezing Point

It was last Sunday. Temperature of the day was ~ 14F. It was not that bad, if we compare the temperature of the same place in recent days. When everyone was inside their warm home celebrating vacation time with friends and family, we (Nepalese community in Laramie) choose to celebrate new year by playing outdoor football.

Venue: Curt Gowdy lake.
Elevation: 7,041 feet (2,146 meters)
Temp: 14oF

It was very cold. The game was played for half an hour. Undergrads played against grads and they secured  2 goals over 1. It was very fun although we couldn't play longer coz of cold.
