Saturday afternoon (May 8, local time), Alessandra Ambrosio was seen on the beach in the city of Santa Monica, California, USA. Initially, the beauty wore a long-sleeved crop top and shorts. Accompanying Alessandra is her new boyfriend Richard Lee. Two people wearing sometimes bikini of “long legs” born in 1981 “ton-sur-ton” with their lover’s shirt. Alessandra then took off her outerwear, leaving only a tiny gray sports bikini. She wore a bright yellow cap, paired with sunglasses and a necklace to create accents. At the age of 40, the former Brazilian angel still retains a slim, toned figure. Her 1m76 height body helps her stand out on the beach. She also showed herself to be an active and resilient person when participating in beach volleyball. Despite being the world’s top supermodel, Alessandra revealed many physical defects when wearing a bikini. In the photo taken at a tilted angle, the 8x beauty revealed a large, swollen belly. In addition, she is quite thin, her limbs are thin, bony, almost straight from top to bottom, can’t see the curve clearly. Viewers can clearly see exposed ribs and “peanut” knees. However, the beauty is not too concerned with the author’s gaze. She confidently shows off her body and comfortably enjoys the day off. The mother of two is in love with her model boyfriend. Two people “stick to each other like sam” on the beach. They are not shy to give each other the most intimate gestures of close couples in public. The couple was suspected of dating at the beginning of the year when they were seen having dinner together. It was not until last March that the two made their relationship public. Since then, they have been constantly caught by paparazzi in moments of “peaceful love” in crowded places. On April 11, the lingerie supermodel turned 40 years old. Richard Lee was by her side on the occasion of celebrating the new age milestone.

Oleander – a fruit with a strange name but is a delicious dish associated with the childhoods of many children. (Photo: Internet) The name does not sound poetic, but the environment is likened to the cherry blossoms of the South. Because during the flowering season, each row of trees will take off all their leaves and begin to bloom in clusters of pollen roses creating a breathtaking sky. At that time, the environment also gradually results in the fruits of the young green, small bunches like cowpea. The lips are considered the southern cherry blossoms. (Photo: Internet) Flowers and olives when they are young. (Photo: Internet) She looks like this when she was still young, but she has “failed puberty”. They turn completely black with a sturdy, coarse shell and with a long, zigzag size. Each of the umbrellas swayed on the branches, causing the children below, waiting for the wind to pass to fall. When ripe, the fruit turns black, the skin is rough. (Photo: Internet) The two sides of the body have ribs running from the head to the stalk, so people often use a knife to pull this edge to separate them. Each piece of rice is arranged into equal layers and outside is a thick black honey layer. They do not look “charming” at all, but enlightenment is that they make people fall in love. Although the appearance is not eye-catching, the lips have a sweet taste that makes people fall in love. (Photo: Internet) The lips have a sweet taste, a little pungency and a strange concentration. Perhaps due to crystallization from several months, the rice layer thickens and gives off a very unique aroma. Adding more salt and chili is rancid, not a delicacy that can be replaced. Chili salt-dipped lips – western dishes. (Photo: Internet) Just looking at it makes people saliva. (Photo: Internet) The scent of the medium is unlike any other fruit. (Photo: Internet) In addition to rice, the seeds are also raw materials for popular tea pots in the southern countryside. They are pale pink in color, finger-sized and usually attached to the inside of the lip. After soaking in water to soften the skin and then peel off, just cook with coconut. This tea dish is very fragrant and has a “already” chewy texture. The seeds are also used to cook tea. (Photo: Internet) With a new discovery, Western cuisine is just as simple and rustic as their very nature. From the gifts of nature that have created a sky of memory and taste, sometimes remembering suddenly makes people feel relieved.

Doc Cuoc Temple is located on “Co Giai island” of Truong Le mountain, is a spiritual destination that attracts people and tourists when coming to Sam Son. The masterpiece of nature Going around long miles in Vietnam, every name of the mountain, the name of the river, the name of the village … has its origin stories. Sam Son sea people believe that the legend of Truong Le mountain is associated with ancient legends. A long time ago, after a terrible rain and flood, fishermen discovered on the shore the body of a pregnant woman was in distress. To pity the ill-fated woman, the people together bury and cover the grave. After time, the grave takes the shape of Truong Le strip as today. Along with the name Truong Le, the mountain range bearing the shape of a lying woman is also known as a bold sea name: “Gam Son” or Gam mountain. Explaining this, the author Hoang Thang Ngoi in the book Sam Son Spirit, said: “Perhaps the sound of waves hitting the cliffs, echoing into the village. Lightly called “shaking the sea”, heavy is called “sea roar”. A roaring sea or a roaring mountain is the intersection between sea and mountain to give birth to the name “Gam mountain”. Truong Le mountain is not long, not high with 16 tops (islands), the highest point is Hon Keo, only 84.7 meters above sea level. However, in that mountain range, the Creator took care when creating “Phu Thai islands; Hon Keo; Co Giai island; Hon Banh Voi; Ca Squid Islet; Lo Rua slot “… has the shape of an animal; there are positions on the Truong Le strip with the impressive name:” Elephant bog, dead horse “… Depend on the creative hand of heaven and earth. , the ancestor with rich imagination has left to life legendary stories imbued with emotions, moving people’s hearts, in which, the legend of “Trong Trang” is an immortal song about love of a couple, means that husband and wife do not leave for a lifetime. Truong Le strip gently stretches to the sea, resting its head on silver waves, creating dreamy baths (Phung Ngoc; Phung Tien) so that thousands of years of rocky mountains and water waves still tell each other many interesting stories. Legend has it that, in the past, on moonlit nights, fairies used to fly back to bathe in the area of ​​”Phung Ngoc, Phung Tien” below the cliff of Truong Le. Sacred monuments After being absorbed in the natural scenery, pedestrians step into the sacred space of the relic system located on Truong Le mountain. Each relic has stories about the divine, human … who made the merits of building the village, protecting the people, and building a life together, step by step creating the face of Sam Son city today. . In the position of Truong Le mountain spreading close to the sea, one can see the shape of a sea turtle. Therefore, it should have the name “Co Giai island” (the word name is “Miet Canh island”). On Co Giai island is Doc Cuoc temple relic. Local legend says that Doc Cuoc god was born to Truong Le’s mother, and was raised rice together by the people of Sam Son. When he was growing up with extraordinary stature, he split his body in half (Single Charge), half with fishermen went out to sea against the beast; Half stayed on the mainland to protect their peaceful villages from the evil red-mine enemies. The giant footprint of Doc Cuoc god is deeply imprinted on Co Giai mountain rock. Here, the villagers set up a temple of Doc Cuoc god with the belief that life is supported and protected by the god. According to the book Thanh Hoa province chi: “In the Ly dynasty, one day a storm broke trees and the water surged, the next day, the people of An Niem commune saw a god descending on Miet Canh mountain, imprinted in the rock, and imprinted with the left foot. a staff 3 inches wide. Local people saw a new spirit to set up a temple right on that mountain to worship ”. By the time of Tran, the temple on Co Giai was officially built, associated with the story of King Tran Anh Tong fighting the Chiem Thanh enemy when passing Sam Son sea was supported by the spirit. Returning to the battle, the Tran king did not forget to confer to god: “Doc Cuoc is a true man of Thuong Sang God”. The later dynasties followed that and conferred the ordination. Over a long period of existence, the language of the “head of the wind”, but strangely, in the war against the US, Sam Son was an area bombed by the enemy, bombed extremely fiercely, the village was destroyed. Tan deserted, yet the temple located on Co Giai is still majestic. Hundreds of soldiers were kept hidden in the temple. The people believe that the temple is protected by the god of Single Charge, so the enemy’s bombs and ammunition cannot be destroyed. Confident in the sacredness of the patron god, Sam Son fishermen often do not forget to come to the temple to ask Doc Cuoc for help to steady their hands before the waves of the sea. For visitors to Sam Son, from the beach, along 43 green mossy stone steps will reach Doc Cuoc Temple. From here, zoom out into the immense space, a vast sea and sky with boats reaching out and silver waves; The same stature “the most ideal resort in Indochina” is changing and modern day by day. Following the cool green mountain road, going straight from Trong Mai islet, you can see Dau Voi Islet. Different from Co Giai Island, Dau Elephant Islet on Truong Le Mountain looks like a giant elephant reaching down to the sea to drink water. Here, there is the famous sacred temple of Co Tien. The relic was originally built to worship Doc Cuoc god. Later, they also worshiped the Tam Thanh Mau (Mau Thuong Ngan; Mau Com and Mau Lieu Hanh). Standing down from Co Tien Temple, visitors see a very different Sam Son. That is not the vibrant Sam Son beach, bustling, but quiet and discreet. The rocky cliffs undulating on the waves close together are a private space so that people can relax with the sea, let the fatigue disappear. The sea will listen to all feelings and confidences. Co Tien Temple is also known as a location in 1960, when visiting Sam Son, Uncle Ho stayed here and pulled nets with fishermen. At the monument, there are still paintings and photos of Uncle Ho with and working with the people. That is Sam Son’s invaluable asset today … Coming back to Sam Son, at sea, there is also a quiet cultural space for generations. Open your heart to discover a truly complete Sam Son.

Photo: VNA After a trip to Vietnam, Kara Williams, a former reporter, magazine editor and now a freelance writer, understood clearly why the Southeast Asian nation has become an attractive destination with foreigners, especially retired people like. This American writer talked about his trip to Vietnam and outlined 8 reasons that many foreigners fall in love with the S-shaped country as follows: My first visit to Vietnam last year was miraculous. From the moment my husband and I arrived at the Ho Chi Minh City airport, I was fascinated by the energy of this sweltering urban center, from late night bars to bustling outdoor bars as well as hundreds. the motorcycle stops every time the red light turns on, which requires great courage and fast speed to cross streets with heavy traffic. Then, in the coastal city of Hoi An, I was amazed at the well-preserved AQ and its centuries-old houses, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. We order exotic and delicious food from the night market stalls by pointing at the photo menu, walking the countryside by bike, learning about the rice fields and how to make rice paper, taking a taxi to the beach white sand sea …. This colorful country trip less than a week was too short for us. Before I left Vietnam, I vowed to come back here one day. I remember telling my husband, “You can spend a lot of time here”. I am not alone. With its rich culture, tropical weather, low living standards and many opportunities to visit in Southeast Asia, Vietnam is a popular destination for people to move here. Many retirees are also interested in Vietnam. In fact, Vietnam ranks 10th on International Living magazine’s list of the best places in the world to retire in 2021. Here are the reasons why people consider spending their retirement years in Vietnam. Living expenses International Living magazine points out that Vietnam’s exceptionally low cost of living is a major attraction. In the book In A Better Life for Half the Price (a better life at half the price), author Tim Leffel said, Vietnam is “one of the most valuable places in the world for tourists, especially for tourists. especially in terms of accommodation and food “. Hence, this is a place of great value for the people who live there. Leffel said, when referring to apartments anywhere in Vietnam, “you can find beautiful rooms with reasonable prices in the range of 300-800 USD / month”. Indeed, Neil Varden, CEO of CabinZero who moved from England to Ho Chi Minh City 3 years ago, also said that the cost of living here is very good. “Honestly, I can live like a king without spending a lot of money,” says Varden. Low prices make sightseeing, shopping, and dining in Vietnam more attractive. Immerse yourself in a crowded, affordable restaurant and pay only $ 1 for a cold beer, $ 2 for a sandwich – one of my all-time favorites. Which brings me to … Opportunities to travel Once Vietnam is where you live, going anywhere in Southeast Asia is easy. There is a wide range of flights on low-cost airlines so you can often travel to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos or Malaysia. Traveling in Vietnam is also quite simple, with flights between cities like Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Hanoi, plus a system of buses, trains and even ships to the islands. favorably like Phu Quoc. Food Everywhere, not only Vietnamese food is extremely cheap, but also at restaurants. During my trip to Vietnam, we enjoyed all the typical dishes of Hoi An, from bread to white rose cake, tall. We also tried a variety of other dishes, including pho, spring rolls and Vietnamese pizza – which included meat, eggs, and vegetables on a rice paper roll, all folded to taste. Vietnamese black coffee is also great, though I haven’t tried egg coffee yet. I also couldn’t resist the baguettes and rolls of breakfast buffets. If you are a foodie, love to try new dishes and pay a little money, Vietnam will not disappoint you. Human I agree with Neil Varden’s view that Vietnamese people are very friendly. In fact, wherever we go, we meet smiling faces, people willing to help us. I found it to be really true at the hotel we stayed in in Hoi An, where gentle manners and hospitable nature are what the receptionists and restaurant staff always show off. My English speaking tour guide is knowledgeable and happy to answer all my questions about her life in Vietnam. Phil Minett, an Australian, came to Vietnam for a short vacation in March 2020 with the aim of seeing if this could be a place where he could settle permanently. After that, the border was closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and a year later, Phil was still in Vietnam. While living in a very local 10-story building in Ho Chi Minh City, Phil said he saw the generosity and friendliness of the neighbors around him. Lots of places to live Da Nang seems to be a suitable place for many foreigners, with a series of cafes (with fixed internet), golden beaches, high-rise apartments and beautiful scenery because 3 sides have mountains. around. The south of Da Nang has two world-class golf courses, the further south is the colorful city of Hoi An – where it might be too crowded with some retired people. However, it’s still quite vibrant with many restaurants, cafes, close to many beaches and a slew of tailor-made shops – if tailoring at the right price makes you feel like it. Ho Chi Minh City is an attractive place if you like a historic urban center. The capital Hanoi is located in the north of Vietnam, not as warm as Ho Chi Minh City. Some smaller cities that foreigners can consider are Da Lat, Nha Trang, Vung Tau and Phu Quoc, International Living magazine writes. Weather Vietnam’s monsoon tropical weather also attracts many people, especially those who want to say goodbye to winter in North America. However, this weather is not for everyone. Temperatures in Vietnam can reach 37.7 degrees or more in some regions during the hottest months and humidity is present everywhere in the country. The seasonal climate changes depending on whether you are inland or coastal, north or south. Please see the website of Vietnam National Administration of Tourism for more information on weather. History and Culture From ancient temples and pagodas to 20th century war history, Vietnam offers plenty of fun for retirees who want to open their minds to exploring cultural and historical events. in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. There are countless opportunities to take part in cultural tours and classes to learn how to weave a sleeping rug from a dry reed or to trade in a floating market in the Mekong Delta. Museums detail Vietnam’s invaded history and you can even travel through the Cu Chi Tunnels, a hidden underground system. Of course, it is possible to experience the national culture by simply walking through a neighborhood, eating local food, watching families play in the park or watching a show at a local theater. Once again, Vietnam offers you many opportunities to do just that. Development future After retiring, Jefferson Saunders moved to Vietnam in 2016. Before that, Saunders had come to Vietnam many times. Like many others, though attracted by the friendliness of the Vietnamese and the cost of living here, this man is increasingly interested in watching the development between the old and the new. This emerging market has “higher education, better income, internet, more travel with serious investments pouring in”. The 70-year-old and married man said that Vietnam’s major cities now have many Western-style clinics and hospitals. In addition, there are many high-end hotels in the cities. The challenge of living in Vietnam Unlike some other countries, like Mexico, Vietnam does not have a “retirement visa”. So it is difficult for retired people who do not work in Vietnam to stay here for a long time. There are tourist visas that require you to leave Vietnam every 90 days, the rules depend on which country you are in. Then there is a visa category for foreigners working in Vietnamese companies, as well as investment visas for people working in Vietnam or investing in certain companies. “Applying for a visa is not easy because the rules are always changing,” said Neil Varden. Pollution is also an issue in cities in Vietnam, partly due to the flow of cars and motorcycles and limited environmental policies, Leffel writes in A Better Life For Half The Price.

Poet and screenwriter Hoang Nhuan Cam This time the person who left was him – a person who was both distant and close: the poet – “Hoa Lua doctor” Hoang Nhuan Cam. Speaking Hoang Nhuan Cam is far away because we used to study in the same language class, course 20, Hanoi University (now University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University) but since graduating I have never seen you again. Occasionally, through poet Tran Ngoc Tuan, I hear a glimpse of Hoang Nhuan Cam, still talented and still … eccentric, different. Just that, and … over. You are like the star in my blind memory, every day farther and farther … Speaking Hoang Nhuan Cam is close because as soon as I heard the news of his death, so many memories of the poet with unique personality suddenly flooded back, as clear as day, as I could hold … At the end of 1975, class 20 of the Faculty of Literature, we welcomed poet Hoang Nhuan Cam from the battlefield and returned to the school. Soon, for some reason, he switched to another class. A young twenty-five year old boy, a pregnant face with prominent black moles, a cheeky handsome look. He is the author of the book of poems Twenty years old printed with martyr Vu Dinh Van. Literature sessions organized reading poetry, not only students of literature class, but also other classes sitting around the outside of the hall, many people with no seats left, swinging outside the window. With his Hanoi standard voice when melodious, when cooing, when resounding loud and rare expressions of eyes and faces, Hoang Nhuan Cam passionately read poems composed by himself: Army soldier and shouting music, Poems written for the sun, Age of twenties, The first leaf … Up to now, I have not heard anyone read such fascinating poems as Hoang Nhuan Cam. When he read poetry, he almost drained his guts, as if there were only him and poetry in the world. Poem Twenty years old by Hoang Nhuan Cam, there are very strange questions: Blue sky color confession . Her hair flew indifferently … Love the smell of hay. Sleep silently in the ground … Honestly, not all of our brother’s verses understand the profound meaning of it. But after all, poetry is to feel, no need to express, to discern right and wrong. Hoang Nhuan Cam is talented, always appearing with a thin, fragile appearance, clothes, hair and hair … an artist, of course, is admired by many female students. As for him, he always loves her, regardless of her, and for his own reasons … let go. We know some of your “hard-to-get” romances. Still a “virgin” but he fell in love with a dancer from the battlefield, divorced his husband, soon after he fell in love with a beautiful girl, because of her that wrote a poem. Phuong that . He often does not copy songs, because he has to let his soul into poetry. One day when my class came downstairs after school, just in time for his class to go up, Hoang Nhuan Cam shouted: “Get out of the way. Stay away. No, I’ll just… kiss one now, ”making the girls squeal, drifting away. During the exam season, he often ran down to my class, scratched his hair, and begged: “D. Oh, let me borrow a book of Western literature, or else my life will be a hit ”. Unable to borrow the notebook, he ran to another girl: “X. oh Lend me a book of Chinese literature, or else my life will be a waste ”. We nagged, did not lend him, but after that, Hoang Nhuan Cam still passed a good exam without having to go out or squash … Poet, screenwriter Hoang Nhuan Cam and four young actors in the movie The smell of fire Mischievous, daring, sometimes apathetic and difficult to talk about, but it can be said that Hoang Nhuan Cam is a poet from his own eggs, that is due to a genetic gene he inherited from his father: musician Hoang Giac. Students who do not like his beautiful, dreamy “teenage” verses: There is a Snow White girl. Besides, the seven dwarfs are very annoying (The first leaf). His poems have sparked in our hearts a fire yearning for beauty, feeling more in love, loving people and wanting to commit to do something good for life. Later, he tasted many poetic bitter flavors of Hoang Nhuan Cam gradually became deep, thoughtful, even sad, evident in the last book of poems. Fall dice. At this time, life for him is no longer bright, but like a six-sided dice, every side is difficult, thunderstorms: Fall dice in the grass. His eyes look at the six faces of the storm (Fall Dice). Poem The demining man’s words were sacrificed has made many poetic friends shed tears because of touching the compassionate domain that exists in each person: Mom before I say goodbye. I could not see where I was lying. I just remember behind the bang. Still kneeling before her mother, before the moon … End of poetry writing, turning to film script, Hoang Nhuan Cam continued to explode with famous films: Winter 1946, Long Tri Night, The smell of burning grass … Now, Hoang Nhuan Cam’s fall dice have led him to leave the temporary realm. But to me, for those who love Hoang Nhuan Cam poetry and appreciate his talent, the poet seems to have just gone somewhere, and will come back …
