Vietnam’s most developed economic city, Saigon (former name of Ho Chi Minh City), the capital of Free Vietnam (largest south), Paris in the East, Pearl in the East, and the headquarters of the French Indo-China Peninsula (Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos). These are various languages that express the city of Ho Chi Minh. I have lived here for a long time while working abroad, so I know and have great affection.

French Culture Found in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Throughout history, you can see several traces of the culture of the place over time. (architecture, food, language, etc.) For example, Hong Kong has British footprints, Macau has Portuguese footprints, Vietnam has French footprints. If you have visited Ho Chi Minh City, I recommend you to have a French restaurant meal. Because you can experience the atmosphere as if you were traveling in time.

French and Vietnamese coffee

French and Vietnamese coffee

Vietnam is the world’s second largest producer of coffee after Brazil. Coffee was first introduced by France in 1857 and is now the second most important export product after rice. Vietnam is the only country that says Starbucks is worse than a coffee shop in front of home, so you can see its status and pride in coffee. In fact, when Starbucks, which has little history of failure, entered its first store in Vietnam in 2015, there were big concerns about local coffee. However, contrary to expectations, Starbucks has been struggling with growth of less than 50 stores in Vietnam so far.

I don’t really like coffee, but Vietnamese coffee is really good.

There are also local French coffee brands such as Korean Coffee Bean and Hollys in Vietnam. For example, “Highland Coffee” has many branches and “Trung Nguyen Legend Coffee” is specialized in high quality

Book Display – ‘Bite-sized French History’ France, a country of gourmet food

French gastronomy

History of French gastronomy

France has a lot of excellent wine and food to match its reputation as a ‘country of gourmet’. French cuisine has been recognized for centuries as the best dish in the world.

The French are willing to give up their morning sleep and tour bakeries on Sundays to buy freshly baked croissants. Reflecting this French affection for food, there are many expressions related to food in France.

For example, when trying to express sadness, they say, “It’s like a day without bread,” or when they feel good, they say, “I have potatoes.”

The book features a feast of wine and food representing France, including Cognac, which Victor Hugo called “God’s Wine,” Champagne, French bread, baguette, King of Cheese, Brie, Camembert, Roquepor, Marial Cheese, and legendary-flavored Stu Casule.

The author appreciates local foods that have been relatively undervalued compared to Parisian cuisine, such as Lyon, Marseille, and Provence, and emphasizes that well-known French dishes such as foie gras, bouillaves, and Cocobain are actually local specialties, guiding readers to the world of gourmet.

“France and Belgium’s gastronomic culture (Cuisses de Grenouille) endangered frogs…200 million animals are imported from Europe every year

French Frog Cuisine (Cuisses de Grenouille)

The British Guardian reported on the 23rd (local time) that French and Belgian food culture is putting some frog species at risk of extinction.

According to a report published by the international non-profit animal and environmental protection organization “Pro Wild Life,” some European countries, including France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, import more than 200 million frogs every year.

To make a dish called Cuisses de Grenouille.

Frogs exported to Europe account for 74% of the total from Indonesia.

Pro Wildlife warned that the number of frogs sold for food in Europe is so high that “some frog species are rapidly disappearing from the earth.”

In particular, the Guardian reported that the Turkish native “Anatolian seal frog” will not be found in the wild within 10 years, and frogs living in Indonesia and Albania are also feared to decrease in population.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has identified frogs and other amphibians as the most threatened vertebrates.

On the other hand, 27 of the EU members have set a policy to ban the capture of frogs in their own countries, but have not imposed import restrictions.

Environmental groups have called for EU countries to restrict frog imports, mark the origin of frog legs, and register extinct animal and plant species.

France Declares ‘Air Pollution and War’

Air Pollution

France’s worst air pollution in 10 years

Exhaust gas, heating, and other pollutants. Construction of eco-friendly means of transportation and maintenance of heating facilities are urgent

The Ild France area, the capital of France, suffered from severe winter air pollution. Air pollution concentrations frequently exceeded the standard level due to vehicle exhaust, winter heating facilities, and low wind weather. Environmental experts point out that in order to reduce air pollution, traffic regulations such as a two-day vehicle system are also important, but above all, the root cause of the problem must be solved. The fundamental measure is to build an infrastructure to easily use eco-friendly means of transportation such as bicycles and to overhaul heating facilities in old houses.

Traffic regulations, such as a two-part vehicle system, are important to solve the air pollution problem in large cities, but fundamental solutions are needed for factors that constantly reduce air quality across France, such as housing heating, factory emissions and agricultural waste emissions This is the explanation of Denny Buajeng, a spokesman for the Nicola Willo Foundation, a French environmental group that suffered the worst winter air pollution in 10 years. For example, Parisians suffer great inconvenience due to the accumulation of pollutants in the atmosphere below every time a wind-free high-pressure area is formed in winter.

The main culprit of air pollution in Paris is automobile exhaust. Grenoble, a small town in southeastern France, is no exception to air pollution, but the main culprit of fine dust emissions here is wood boiler heating. Fine dust from wooden boilers exceeds 40% of Grenoble’s total fine dust emissions. In addition, residents in many factory areas and agricultural areas are constantly exposed to toxic substances.

Air pollution is also closely related to public health. According to the survey, 42,000 people die early from respiratory diseases caused by air pollution annually in France. The French Board of Audit and Inspection estimates the cost of managing diseases caused by air pollution from 20 billion euros (about 24.2 trillion won) to 30 billion euros (about 36.3 trillion won) per year. A report submitted to the Senate said the central government and local governments pay 100 billion euros (about 121 trillion won) annually due to air pollution problems.

The French Board of Audit and Inspection evaluates that air pollutant emissions have steadily decreased since 1990. Bernard Garni of the Atmo-France Secretariat, a coalition of organizations authorized to measure atmospheric conditions, explains that the reason for the decrease in air emissions is because the industrial structure has changed from manufacturing to service, but the manufacturing process has advanced and the performance of pollutant filters has improved.

In this context, the frequent air pollution warnings may be due to the fact that air pollution status can be better understood. An alert is issued when air pollutants exceed the World Health Organization’s recommended standards. According to the standards of the Health Organization, an alarm is issued when fine dust (PM10) of less than 10 microns (μm, 1 μm = 0.001mm) exceeds 50 mg/m. (If an air pollution warning is issued, public transportation such as buses, subways, and urban railroads can be used for free instead of restricting the use of private cars. -Editor) Of course, even if the amount of fine dust in the atmosphere is below the standard of the health organization, it does not necessarily mean that the atmosphere is good.

54% of Nitrogen Oxide is Road traffic

Currently, France’s standards for fine dust and nitrogen oxides exceed those of the European Union (EU). In fact, the European Commission sent a letter to the European Court in April 2015 saying it would file a lawsuit against the French government unless the French government quickly came up with measures to reduce air pollution in more than 10 major cities, including Paris, Lyon, Grenoble, Marseille, Martinique, La Valle D’Arve, Nice, Toulon, Dué, Bettung and Valencienne.

Moreover, there are many toxic substances that cause air pollution in addition to 12 regulated pollutants, including fine dust, nitrogen oxides, and ozone, which are the three major pollutants. Among them, the air pollution problem caused by ammonia (NH3) is serious. Ammonia is mainly emitted from the agricultural sector, and in most cases, it is dispersed into the atmosphere or discharged from livestock farms during the nitrogen fertilizer spraying process. Even when spraying pesticides, it is a problem because some of them are scattered into the atmosphere.

The French government has implemented a number of policies to solve both temporary air pollution deterioration and essential air pollution problems at the same time. In particular, measures were taken against the transportation sector, which is considered the main culprit of air pollution. One-third of the French population is routinely exposed to fine dust emitted by cars, and 54% of nitrogen oxide emissions are also caused by road traffic, which is why the transportation sector is responsible. This situation is also due to the high proportion of diesel vehicles in France. According to spokesman Denny Buajeng, the reason for the high proportion of diesel vehicles was that the government gave tax benefits to companies and households in the 1980s to promote diesel vehicle consumption. In 1990, diesel cars accounted for only 16 percent of all cars, but now they have soared to 62 percent.

As a result, the ruling Socialist government has begun to reduce tax cuts for diesel vehicles. In 2014, the oil tax per liter of high-end gasoline was 20.7 cents (about 250 won and 0.01 euros per cent) higher than that of diesel oil, but in 2015, the gap between gasoline and diesel oil was 18 cents, and in 2016, it decreased to 15.2 cents. It remains to be seen whether the oil tax policy stance will continue once the presidential election is over and a new president is elected.

The government introduced various tax benefits to promote the purchase of electric vehicles, but electric vehicle prices are still very high. It has also set up an incentive system for ordinary people to give up old-fashioned diesel vehicles and buy used gasoline vehicles that are not long on the market, but that is not enough. And to avoid a second “diesel gate” (a case where Volkswagen in Germany manipulated diesel vehicle software and passed the authorities’ emissions inspection – editors), new automobile emission standards and emissions inspection procedures should be strengthened. Experts explain that it will take a considerable amount of time to significantly reduce diesel vehicles and increase the proportion of electric or gasoline vehicles. Nevertheless, the mayor of Paris has an ambitious plan to completely remove diesel vehicles from Paris by 2020. To this end, the city government plans to provide additional support for households with diesel vehicles.

The two-part vehicle system, which is implemented when an air pollution warning is issued, has been found to be effective in reducing air pollution. Airparif, an air pollution measurement company, announced that when the two-part vehicle system was applied in Paris, traffic volume, fine dust emissions, and nitrogen oxide emissions decreased by 18%, 6%, and 10%, respectively. However, the two-part vehicle system has the disadvantage of treating vehicles that emit a lot of pollutants the same without distinguishing them from vehicles that emit a lot of pollutants. Several cities have introduced a “Crit’Air” rating system that classifies vehicles according to the level of pollutant emissions. A clear air sticker is attached to the vehicle to indicate the pollutant emission rating of the vehicle.

#Fine dust from wood boilers and fireplaces

If an air pollution warning is issued, the operation of vehicles that emit the most pollutants based on the Crete Air rating, not the standard of the hole at the end of the license plate, can be restricted. According to the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME), the introduction of the Crite Air system can reduce fine dust emissions by 12% and nitrogen oxide emissions by 10%.

In the long run, the best way to reduce air pollution in cities is to change the way they move. “Now there will be no place for large diesel vehicles in the city,” Deeni Buajeng said. “People will use vehicles by renting or sharing light and small light vehicles.” To that end, the Nicola Willo Foundation emphasizes the importance of establishing an incentive system for people to use public transportation such as taxis, shared vehicles, buses and minibuses, which have much more hours than private cars standing for 95 percent of the 24 hours a day.

Above all, however, the use of cars itself should be reduced. It recommends ‘active movement’ such as using public transportation and cycling or walking. According to Bouajeng’s explanation, electric bicycles are an efficient means of transportation, but bicycle utilization in France is still very low. Buajeng argues that in order to promote bicycle use, dedicated roads should be expanded and bicycle use compensation systems (employers compensate with cash or allowances when employees need to travel in relation to work – editors).

Strasbourg is one of France’s highest rates of bicycle use. Strasbourg’s deputy mayor and environmental policy officer Alain Jund said, “Strasbourg is an honor student of inferiority. The rate of bicycle use in Strasbourg is 14%, far below Copenhagen’s 45% but much higher than the French average of 2-4%.” By the end of 1982, the bike lanes in Strasbourg were just over 30 kilometers long, but now they have increased to 650 kilometers. The expansion of public transportation played a big role here. In Strasbourg, if you want to build a new transportation infrastructure, whether it is a bus or a tram, you must create a bicycle-only road together.

The efficient transportation policy eventually took into account the aspect of national land improvement. In particular, there is a need for a transportation policy that can cope with the sprawl phenomenon that most cities in France experience in common (Sprawl Penomena, a phenomenon in which urban areas expand disorderly to suburban areas-editors). Deputy Mayor Alain Jund insists that we should try harder ourselves. In the past, the city of Strasbourg turned its back on the Rhine River, where the industrial park is located. Now, the city government is trying to fix the banks of the Rhine River without letting the city of Strasbourg expand into rural areas so that the city’s boundaries can be established toward the Rhine River.”

Air pollution is not just a matter of mobility. In many parts of France, wooden boilers and fireplaces older than road traffic are the main culprits of fine dust emissions.

Sports Massage Cream Review

It’s okay for me if I exercise or have a lot of basic activities, but I’m not that’s not the case. When I work, I don’t move much and I always sit down. So I was thinking about it, but recently, the weather got hot, so I thought about wearing short clothes, so I took them out and put them on at home. “Oh, when did this come out of course”

My thigh cellulite was formed. It was the moment when I realized that I really didn’t move, didn’t work out, and gained weight. I think there are a lot of people like me these days. So I thought I shouldn’t do this, so I started looking for information about cellulite massage.

Then I found out about SO2C Perfect Leg Slimming All-in-One. It’s famous for sports massage cream. I’ve been using it diligently for some time, but it hasn’t been long since I used it, so there was no dramatic effect. But my thighs feel more elastic and slimmer! Thanks to you, the cellulite seems to fade.​

Actually, I searched the Internet and found that there are more than 100 kinds of cellulite massage cream. So honestly, it’s true that I thought a lot about what to write. Nevertheless, I will tell you the reason why I finally chose this product. Personally, I’m more confident than anyone else when I sit down and search for information. Even if you’re not active, your endurance is amazing. After comparing this product and that product a lot, the final conclusion has been made with this product.

There were many reasons, but the thing that caught my eye was that it was just for the legs. And it’s a best-selling product, so I can’t stand it without using it. When we look into slimming and cellulite massage creams, it’s hard to say which parts are used intensively. It’s just for the body, so you can use it for any part of the body. Of course, this will work, too! But I don’t think it’s a product that’s optimized for just one part. So I thought this was it, and after SO2C Perfect Shaping Leg Slimming Cream debuted at Cozenskin in 2015, it became a best-selling product that many customers used for 7 years.

I usually use 오피사이트 원 클릭 often. There are so many good products that I always use. But I can’t stand the bestseller among them. First of all, SO2C Perfect Leg Sliming All-in-One includes two boxes of SO2C Perfect Shaping Leg Cream, Coffee Plus Lift Body Scrub, and additional gifts, Magnet Body Massager.

I’ll tell you in detail one by one!

First of all, SO2C Perfect Shaping Leg Slimming Cream is a specialized product for thighs and legs. It is excellent in managing subcutaneous fat and cellulite in the lower body. Apply it to the clumped or swollen calves and massage it to soothe the legs and immediately slimm. In addition, it is an organic patent ingredient that can be used without irritation to the skin, so even those with sensitive skin can use it without any burden. I was also worried about this, but I was surprised because there was no irritation. I’m touched that it’s effective and has good ingredients.

The reason why this cream can give cellulite and slimming effects to the extent that it is a bestseller is thanks to slimmers named Adiposlim and Adipores. These two ingredients help prevent fat decomposition and new fat accumulation. So you don’t have to worry about yo-yo!

And the other components that can double the effect of this sports massage cream are the other components. The Coffee Plus Lift Bar Discrup is designed to remove waste, perm massage, and line lifting
If you apply cream after using this as a multi-functional booster in the previous step, the absorption and permeability of the product will increase by more than 40%. There’s a reason why they’re together as components. And it’s really convenient because you can use it exactly like a scrub when you take a shower!

The same goes for massage tools. Magnet body massager has a sharp cellulite massage tip. This tip promotes circulation and applies appropriate pressure to smooth the bumpy skin and make the body line pretty. I use sports cream twice a day in the morning and in the evening, and I use scrub about 2 to 3 times a week. I heard that the more you do it, the faster you can see the effect.

Real fat builds up in a blink of an eye, but it takes a lot of effort and time to lose it. I’ve tried all kinds of diet methods that are famous, but it’s so hard that it’s hard to do it consistently. But this method is so simple and easy that I can do it without any stress, so I keep doing it. The effect is even better because it allows intensive management of the areas I want, and the SOS silhouette program contains the patent ingredients and patent construction of the French Sepik Institute, which boasts a 70-year history and 64 registered patents!

#Services at Goa Wong, Bangalore

When I went to India Orphanage volunteer work I found while looking at snow camera photos by chance. Honestly, I still want to see Daniel who is so lovely and shy and cute

Children here don’t have cell phones or toys, so whenever they go to volunteer, they always ask for a phone. Then play with the snow camera like that. Even if we give snacks, we never eat them right away like any other children, but ask the director and ask permission to eat them. There were times when I felt bad for not being like children.

Honestly, at first, I went there because I heard that I would get a certificate if I went to volunteer work three times
It was me who went more and more and had a great time. Running around and playing around with the kids.

#to give presents to children

It is cute to see that children harden like this when they take pictures. I once bought a pencil-like stationery gift or rice, but I remember making a paper disk with a newspaper and practicing it or playing with it. I wrote English names and probably if the children were older, I would have taught them Korean Hah!

I hope lovely kids don’t get sick and grow up healthy The children here are happy to be grateful for the little things.

#Take care of the children at Gowawon, Bangalore.
