Travelling Tips for New Year Holiday to Keep Healthy

blogger June 19, 2023

It is the New Year now. In the New Year holiday, many people plan to have a travel outside to relax themselves. The weather in this holiday is so cold, so I will introduce some tips people should pay attention to in travelling.

Drink black tea one week in advance. Study found that drinking 500 ml of black tea every day one week before travel will stimulate the body to secrete 2-4 times of interferon more than usual, which can enhance the immune system and allow you not vulnerable virus caused by the common cold and hepatitis.

Prepare ample anti-hypoxia drugs. Irish researchers found that more than half of the passengers will have hypoxia symptom when they take planes. Hypoxia combined with dehydration, sedentariness and drying and other factors can induce a variety of diseases. So, it is suggested that travelers eat acetazolamide to increase the body’s oxygen metabolism two days before taking planes.

Eat protein before departure. According to the American Academy of Neurology’s theory, when people take vehicles, ear vestibule balance receptors in human body will stimulated and make people feel dizzy, nausea, vomiting and have other symptoms. Pennsylvania State University study shows that eating protein such as eggs and beef before takeoff could reduce nausea and other symptoms by 26%.

Drink bottled water outside. To travel in remote areas or underdeveloped countries, it is better not to the local water. Experts recommend you drink bottled water when traveling to avoid viruses and bacterial infection. Brushing teeth and cleaning contact lenses are better to use boiled water.

Remember to wash hands frequently. Experts think that washing hands frequently during travel is the best way to prevent various infections. If it is not convenient to wash hand, you can take a bottle of alcohol (content of 60% or more). In addition, do not touch poultry and wild birds, for they are highly susceptible to infectious diseases.

A Quick Way To Learn Chinese

blogger June 11, 2023

The Chinese language might seem complicated, but it is not. Like any other language, if you intend to learn Chinese you must just work hard at it, as nothing comes easy in this life. Learn Chinese more easily by using a few tips listed in this article.

Become One With Chinese Culture

Trying to learn Chinese without a background understanding of Chinese culture and history is like trying to learn how to ride a horse when you do not know how to handle it properly. People who battle with learning new languages do not realize this until it is too late, normally when they have simply given up on grasping the language itself. Before trying to learn any new language you must give yourself a bit of time to know and understand the culture and history of the country whose language you are interested in learning.

Get A Chinese Teacher

The next step in your learning process will involve looking for a Chinese tutor. Getting a tutor is not difficult at all since you can carry out a localized search on Google specific to your town or city. Another way to do this is to post an advertisement in the classifieds section of your local newspaper specifying that you are seeking to employ the services of an experienced Chinese linguist.

The true benefits of getting a tutor will only manifest themselves at a later stage when you begin to notice how easy it is to learn with the help of an instructor. Instructors, unlike ordinary bi-lingual Chinese speakers, know the common difficulties experienced by first time speakers and how to address them.

Befriend A Native Chinese

Learning how to speak a new language without practicing it is like buying a pair of crutches after an operation and never using them. Practice is best achieved through finding a Chinese person to befriend. Chinese people are all over the world, which is why you should not have a problem in finding a friend to help you practice. However, when you start practicing you must always avoid speaking in your native language as doing so will only slow down the learning process. Always strive to speak his or her language no matter how awkward it might seem. This will help you become fluent a lot quicker.

Travel to China

The last, and perhaps most difficult, step of all will place a heavy burden on your finances. Travelling to China for a short holiday is the only way to cement everything you have learned thus far. When you do get the opportunity to do so you will be so overwhelmed by the experience that everything you have learned and read about the language will stick with you a lot better. If travelling is out of your financial reach you could simply spend more time in a predominantly Chinese neighborhood.

The Warm Reality Of Paolo Cristiani’s Traveling World At Agora Gallery

blogger May 5, 2023

Paolo Cristianis wonderfully observed scenes of airports, hotel rooms and city streets all places of movement and transition present a tangible yet unpopulated world. Cristianis rich colors and detail are realistic with just enough heightening to create an inviting warmth, becoming attractive and relatable in a way that real hotel rooms seldom are. The viewer can easily imagine entering the space of a Cristiani painting, yet there are no protagonists in the work; there are rarely any figures in the frame, and the few who do appear are turned away, for all intents and purposes faceless. The human presence in these works lives in a half-empty water glass, or the ruffle of a bedspread that has been tossed aside just so.
Cristiani is equally adept with oil, acrylic and ink, in addition to practicing mixed media sculpture with wood, terracotta and cloth. Born in Milan, the artist remains based in northern Italy but travels frequently. His series Airport and Hotels aims to capture and fix the silence and the human movement within a virtual reality.
