On May 10 (US time), Khanh Van and the contestants of Miss Universe practiced to prepare for the semi-final night. The Vietnamese representative also revealed four evening gowns that he plans to wear in the semi-final competition. In the photo, the beauty queen, born in 1995, wears a high-cut dress, showing off her long slender legs. Design with striking green color, cup shape. According to Khanh Van, the costume was inspired by the sedge field in Vinh Long. Since the start of the contest, the 26-year-old beauty has shown a clear image strategy, each outfit she wears has its own meaning and message. Miss Universe Vietnam is sexy in a purple V-neck, stone dress. Body-hugging design and combined with stone tassel motifs, covering the bottom of the skirt. In the third design, Khanh Van wears a black evening dress to create a mysterious look. The dress has a classic design, with long sleeves and a high neckline, but is cut at the skirt, bringing the spirit of interference between classic and modern. Black outfits are rarely used in competitions. But according to the designer’s idea, Khanh Van will wear this dress in the side activities of Miss Universe 2020 to create a different highlight. The 26-year-old beauty wears a costume of designer Vo Thanh Can. The dress is inspired by rice fields with many delicate details, embracing the body curves. According to the schedule, on May 13, Khanh Van will enter a closed interview round. The semi-finals of the contest will take place on May 15.

Crocodile soup cooked delicious snakehead fish. My house is in the suburbs of Da Nang, in recent years, the rows of crocodiles planted on the streets of Le Dai Hanh, Nguyen Phuoc Tan… have been almost “old” by the workers of the Urban Environment Company. Da Nang city planted a few decades ago has flowered and produced results. Crocodile does not give as many fruits as the northern localities, but the taste of “heritage” crocodile in Da Nang is not inferior to other localities. Crocodile fruit when still green is used to cook sour soup, soaked in drinking water… Ripe fruit is used to make crocodile apricot umbrella, pickled crocodile, vinegar sauce… The most impressive thing is the crocodile soup cooked with fish and fruit. (Tel fish, snakehead fish…). Cooking method is as follows: Fish and fruits are made and washed, drained, then marinated with seasoning powder, pepper powder, chopped red onion, paprika for aroma. After 10 minutes for the spices to infuse into the fish meat, then put the casserole on the stove, fry the cooking oil with garlic until fragrant, put the marinated fish in it for aroma. When the fish is almost cooked, add boiling water to continue cooking. When the fish is cooked, add the crocodile (cleaned and smashed) and pineapple (pineapple, pineapple), tomatoes, sour bamboo shoots… in. After the soup boils again for a few minutes, then remind and re-season to taste. Ladle the soup into a bowl and sprinkle more scallions, chopped cilantro into the bowl of soup to make it fragrant. Looking at the bowl of crocodile soup cooked with fish and fruit with the ivory white color of fish meat, the green color of the crocodile, the yellow color of the pineapple, the red color of the tomato and the moss green color of the spices, it looks very eye-catching. This bowl of crocodile soup is extremely fragrant, delicious and nutritious with the sweetness of fish mixed with the sour and sour taste, the bar, the aroma is very attractive for a meal on hot summer days. When enjoying this soup, we “have to drink it at the same time” and often jokingly say that it is a “inter-regional” sour soup. It’s really: “Crocodile sour soup, cooked calamari/He ate a bowl of all his sorrows and sorrows immediately” or “Spring with crocodiles to call summer / Cooking snakehead fish soup to eat immediately”… Crocodile sour soup cooked with fish fruit is a special “chorus” because crocodile fruit originates in the North (Hanoi), fish is most abundant in the South (Central, Southern). In the middle of summer, enjoying this soup with this “interference” flavor, we remember the “Southern onion” ancestor of a time.

The Portuguese navigator Bartolomeu Dias first crossed here in 1488. He named it “Storm Cape”. Later, the king of Portugal changed its name to “Nose of Good Hope”. The entire southern part of the Cape peninsula is a national park that is wild, rolling hills, beautiful scenery and has not been ravaged by human hands. The Cape of Good Hope has been considered a place that hasn’t changed much in the last 500 years, since the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeo Dias discovered it. The route around Cape Hope is important, but the waters next to it are still a known danger in the world. South of Cape Hope is an area with strong westerly winds, on the immense sea surface there is nothing to cover, so the waves are big Before the Suez Canal was built in 1869, the Cape of Good Hope was the only sea route between Europe and Asia. A lighthouse is built on top of a mountain 249 meters above sea level. However, it is often covered by clouds, so it has been decommissioned since 1911, after a shipwreck accident. This place is only open to tourists to enjoy the view. Another lighthouse was built as a replacement, just over 80 meters above sea level. Coming here, visitors’ emotions surged: the greatness, generosity, romance of nature; the gentleness, the blue, the charm of the sea; boundless love, hope, human creative labor. Cape of Good Hope is the most beautiful destination, not to be missed when coming to South Africa.

Located on a 5x20m plot of land in a new urban area in Binh Tan district (HCMC), Connect House is the home of a young family of 3. When designing the house, the architect wanted to create a space that helps the people living in it feel comfortable and easily interact with each other. Therefore, the house minimizes the construction of walls. Instead of a system of glass walls, curtains… so that from the space of interference, the wife or husband can easily see what the other half and their children are doing. The skylight with green trees connects people with nature. The house consists of 3 bedrooms, all bedrooms have two windows, placed on opposite sides of the wall for easy air circulation. The ground floor is the space to arrange the common living areas, including the garage, children’s play area, kitchen combined with dining room.
