Every July 14th of traditional Chinese calendars is called the "Hungry Ghost Festival".



In China, it is commonly believed that, every year, when the gates of hell open on the seventh Lunar Month 07-14, temporary roadside offerings and makeshift altars spring up around the island.

Social spaces become ‘spiritual spaces’ during the annual Hungry Ghost Festival, as paper money is burned all around the island, along with other paper items representing anything from clothes and toiletries to cars and bungalows.  And to avoid copyright infringement, the makers of these items will make subtle changes to the names of the brands — 'Coca Cola' becomes 'Caca Cola', while '100 Plus' becomes '100 Plas'.  The practice is believed to appease the spirits of the dead, who are believed to roam the earth during the month-long Hungry Ghost Festival.

Many Chinese believe that it is their duty to feed and nourish the “hungry ghosts that walk along the streets and wander during this period lest they get angry and cause misfortune to fall upon us”.

By the way, "Hungry Ghost Festival" in Chinese words is called 「盂蘭節」 or「 七月十四日」 or 「鬼節」, and it is somehow different from the Western Halloween 萬聖節.

Have you seen a "wavy road" like this?

This "wavy road" can be found in the city of Chongqing (重慶市), China.  It is about 300-meter long, and it was made like that due to the peculiar geographical feature of the city.

Now imagine you can try some roller-coaster experience on the ground like that!

Australians urged to eat kangaroo meat!




Landholders and ecologists in Australia are warning wild kangaroo levels have become unsustainable, urging Australians to eat more kangaroo meat.

Government figures show there were almost 45 million kangaroos in 2016, which is almost double the human population of Australia.

Have you ever tried to eat some kangaroo meat before?  
I haven't (yet).  And I guess it probably tastes like beef or deer........

By the way, in China, the only way to be able to try kangaroo meat is by the Australia export:


Here are some of the impressive features of kangaroo meat :

OPEN RANGE MEAT: Kangaroos aren’t farmed. They’re open range animals and harvested in their own environment. So what you get is a lean red meat that’s free from antibiotics, added growth hormones and added chemicals.
ENERGY: Kangaroo meat has a kilojoule content that compares favourably to other lean red meats.
PROTEIN: Kangaroo meat is a terrific source of high-quality protein.
FAT: Kangaroo meat is impressively low in fat, with less than 2% fat. What’s more, it’s low in ‘undesirable’ saturated fats.
OMEGA-3: Kangaroo meat is a source of heart-friendly omega-3’s.
CLA: Kangaroo meat naturally contains Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) – yet another bonus for our wellbeing.
MINERALS: Kangaroo meat is a particularly good source of the ‘must-have’ minerals iron and zinc.
VITAMINS: Kangaroo meat is a good source of valuable B-group vitamins, including Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, niacin, riboflavin and thiamin.

So, during your school times, have you ever written an examination that the teacher/professor once allowed you to bring a sheet of paper with some notes?

'Clearly the smartest kid in the class': Hilarious photo of student with massive cheat sheet after professor didn't specify 'inches' for the 3x5 card each student was allowed.

A college student outsmarted his professor by bringing in a 3x5 foot-long cheat sheet after 'inches' weren't specified in the instructions.

It was the first test day of the semester on Tuesday for assistant college professor Reb Beatty and his accounting class at Anne Arundel Community College in Arnold, Maryland.

As per usual, he let students take the exam with a 3x5 notecard cheat sheet.

Watch about it right here :
