Mr. Xuan Truong was transferred by Cong Hau to a hundred-year-old wood incense for 4 billion dong Artisan Cong Hau also shared, the bigger the wood incense, the more years it is because the characteristics of this species grow very slowly. The trunk has many veins, the rougher the stump, the more it shows the enduring strength of the tree against the destruction of time.

Jeremy and Mia Thompson (Washington, USA) feel tired of work and want to travel for a change of atmosphere. Hence the couple sold the house in the city nine years ago. After a year of traveling, the couple decided they really wanted a family and have children, so the couple bought a school bus at an auction and turned it into a mobile home.

The couple have renovated the bus into a mobile home for about 2 years. The space inside is quite small, but Jeremy has carefully calculated to use the space as efficiently as possible. Under the bed there are drawers, under the sofa there is more room to store more things, above is the bed of the couple Jerermy and below the small bed of the children. The mobile home is parked on a piece of land where the Thompson family owns a motel, so they have the space to do some everyday and essential activities such as laundry and using the Internet.

This impressive cave and chapel is located in Sedlec, about an hour from Prague (Czech Republic) by train. This is a peaceful and beautiful town.

Sedlec caves are located under the All Saints cemetery church.

The cave itself is a Roman Catholic chapel.

In 1870, the Schwarzenberg family of the aristocracy hired a famous carpenter, František Rint, to turn the skeletons in the chapel into works of art.

This is the Schwarzenberg family crest.

The entire chapel is decorated with motifs made of human bones.

Before rearranging, Rint and the workers cleaned up the bones.

Then he turned them into things like ceiling lights.

The huge ceiling lamp is one of the most impressive parts of the chapel, which is said to have every bone in the human body.

Sometimes pieces of bone are used for decoration …

Or form artifacts commonly found in a chapel.

They sometimes tell legends, such as a Turk whose eyes were gouged out by a crow.

Human bones form the framework for the traditional statues.

They can also be combined with other materials.

They always bring an element of obsession for the scene.

Each corner of the chapel has giant skeletons.

They seem mysterious and intimidating when you get up close.

People often leave coins for good luck.

Rint left an impression on his signature – in human bones.
