Nature-based tourism is taking off in Cam Lam District, with resorts along Bai Dai Beach embracing eco-friendly practices and offering unique experiences. By creating farms and gardens, these resorts are providing an immersive experience for tourists, allowing them to connect with nature and local life. One notable example is the Alma Resort near Bai Dai Beach, which has dedicated a portion of its land to farming. This farm boasts a vibrant array of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and even chickens, offering a glimpse into sustainable agricultural practices. The resort representative shared that tourists, especially families with children, are drawn to this farm experience. They get to live like farmers for a day, engaging in activities such as sowing seeds, watering vegetables, and collecting fresh eggs. It’s a fun and educational way to spend time as a family. Le Thi Thuy, a tourist from Ho Chi Minh City, shared her appreciation for the green space: “I love the garden at the resort. Be

Lookman Lights Up the Stage with a Hat-trick Heroics as Atalanta Stun Leverkusen in the Europa League Final

Hình ảnh
Ademola Lookman was the hero for Atalanta as his hat-trick secured a 3-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final in Dublin on Wednesday, ending the Italian side’s 61-year wait for a major trophy. Lookman, who revived his career in Italy after struggling in the English Premier League, scored twice in the first 26 minutes to put Atalanta in control. His first came from a well-worked move down the right, with Davide Zappacosta given too much space to pick out the striker, who applied a composed finish. The Nigerian forward then skipped past a defender and curled a beautiful right-footed shot into the bottom corner from outside the box to double the lead. Atalanta was in dreamland, and Leverkusen looked shell-shocked.   Ademola Lookman celebrates scoring his and Atalanta’s third goal to complete his hat-trick.

The Taste for Canine Cuisine: Exploring Vietnam’s Dog Meat Controversy

The consumption of dog meat has recently sparked public interest in Vietnam, with a restaurant in Hoi An closing down and a slaughterhouse in the north ceasing operations. This has led to a larger discussion about cultural differences in food choices and the role of tradition, religion, and availability in shaping these preferences. While some may view dogs as beloved pets, it is important to recognize that different cultures have varying perspectives on animals. For example, bear paw soup is considered a delicacy in many Asian and European countries, and dishes like ‘civet de chevreuil’ (venison) and ‘lapin a la moutarde’ (rabbit cooked in mustard) are popular in European cuisines. Similarly, rabbits, which are adored as domestic pets worldwide, are also consumed as food in many places. The author questions the Western perspective on fish, noting the oddity of diners requesting the removal of the head before plating. In contrast, some cultures relish dishes like grilled pig’s rectum

The First Turtle’s Journey: A New Life on Quy Nhon Beach

Here is my attempt at rewriting the provided text: A heartwarming story unfolded on the beach this week as a turtle returned to the sea after successfully nesting. Nguyen Ton Xuan Sang, a dedicated marine conservationist in the commune, shared his excitement as he witnessed this remarkable event. On Tuesday night, locals in the commune spotted a turtle making its way onto the beach. With their quick thinking, they alerted Sang and his team of marine conservationists, eager to ensure the safety of the turtle and its soon-to-be-laid eggs. Sang recounted, “We sprang into action, rushing to the beach to keep a watchful eye on the mother turtle and protect her eggs. As we arrived, she was in the process of digging a hole to lay her eggs. We estimated her weight to be around 20-30 kilograms, with a length of 0.8 meters.” The team maintained a respectful distance, allowing the turtle to finish laying her eggs undisturbed. After 30 minutes had passed, she carefully made her way back to the
