As the world was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, worries about air travel also peaked. Important business trips are done in fear, and vacations are seen as irresponsible and dangerous. Many tourists are both eager to go out and protect themselves. Although there are adventure lovers, most just want to relax and change the atmosphere. Staying at home is the safest but very frustrating. Tired after a year of fighting the virus that spreads in the air, many people wonder when they will be able to enjoy a trip abroad without worrying about the pandemic. Can a yacht bring joy instead of a death trap? The joy of travel still comes with anxiety about the disease. Photo: Shutterstock. What do you get from your travels? The pandemic is being better controlled by developed countries. This causes serious problems for developing countries whose economies are dependent on tourism. Americans worried about Covid-19 could go to Britain or Europe. But what will they find there, when only a few restaurants and museums are reopening in London (UK) or Vienna (Austria). A large portion of Americans are not of European descent, so the need to visit Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East is obvious. The decision of visitors depends on the situation of each country. In the past, people would research the social situation going on in the country or find out if the place they want to go treats women, LGBT and religious minorities well. But now, the numbers of Covid-19 infections are enough to make a decision. It’s fine if you’ve been vaccinated and go to a place where everyone has been vaccinated. However, there is still a way to safely travel to a place where vaccines are not yet widely available without becoming a source of super infection. It’s important to avoid crowded places, wear a mask, and only eat out when allowed. Nostalgic for the comfortable travel days before Covid-19. Photo: Unsplash. Many people like me can’t wait to go back to the life of the past. I have visited about half of the 200 countries in the world and my favorite places are a strange mix. I like England for being there part-time, Mongolia for its unspoiled and authentic beauty, Afghanistan for its amazing hospitality that I have not come across anywhere else. The list could go on forever. I once wrote about the memory of dancing under the full moon with a friend in a small village in the Solomon Islands. I was trapped in an iceberg in Antarctica. My most dangerous trip was in Australia. I had been at sea for half a day in a wetsuit when the boat that had taken me out to the Pacific ran away. A world without those experiences is a less vibrant and vibrant place than the one I used to live in. Back to the sky In early May 2021, I took my first flight to visit my daughter in Texas when the travel restrictions were eased and I had enough vaccines. Although I didn’t feel too dangerous, I was still somewhat uncomfortable. I did not eat or drink while on the plane and wore a tight mask. However, the return to the sky gives me a fluttering feeling like being back in the scenery of the summer days of my childhood. As we broke through the stratospheric clouds and greeted the familiar warm sun, the joy filled my heart like hugging friends for the first time after getting vaccinated. The quarantine days have given me more time for my husband and children and writing, and the comfort of a fixed lifestyle. However, being freed from that comfort also relieved me. Although accompanied by fear, the journey is still a relief. The first flights after the restriction on movement was eased brought emotions to many people. Photo: New York Times. Traveling is not only about fun but also important to a non-stop learning career. The 19th century scientist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt wrote: “There is no worldview as dangerous as that of those who have not yet seen the world”. Being locked in one’s own country is terrible for many people, because it means being confined to one’s own bubble. The success of each country depends on the curiosity of its citizens. Losing that means losing our inner compass. Although I long to explore new lands, I am also eager to welcome people to the place where I live. It’s weird to walk through New York City’s great museums without hearing 100 different languages. Travel is a two-way street and I hope to see traffic back in the near future. Once the SARS-CoV-2 virus is under control, we will restart with renewed vigor. The world is wide open before our eyes. The first steps can be hesitant, cautious, and uncertain. But think about it. A year ago, the grocery store was also an adventure destination. Now, while still being cautious, we are being given a planet back to explore.

Kim Tuyen once shared that she is not afraid to play hot scenes in the film because those are all important details that create the turning point of the film. Having accepted the role, she will devote all her heart to the character. And that’s why she accepts sacrifices for art. After a period of consecutive appearances on television, in the past 2 years, Kim Tuyen has acted in fewer films. She wants to take time to nurture her emotions as well as give herself a break after a long time busy with art. Kim Tuyen wants to play the role of a modern, strong and cheerful woman instead of the sexy image in previous films Recently, the actress returned to the TV series “Do you know what mom is thinking?” This is a film that deals with current hot issues of concern such as single mother, divorce, adultery, parenting, online sales, YouTuber, LGBT… Through close life stories, Humorous, the film helps the audience find answers for themselves when they are in similar situations. Kim Tuyen and Quang Tuan in the movie “Quiz what your mother is thinking” In the film, Kim Tuyen takes on the role of Ca Vi. When she was a student, she had a beautiful love affair with Tuan Ngan (Nguyen Quoc Truong Thinh). However, she discovered that her lover was the name of the department, “fishing with two hands”, so she decided to break up. Nearly 30 years old, Ca Vi decided to be a single mother because her family urged her to get married. Before this situation, her parents forced her to marry Si Tien (Quang Tuan) to act as a front. After 6 years of marriage, Ca Vi wanted a divorce, but her husband refused to agree, and “called” her parents-in-law to live together to prevent Ca Vi. After that, Si Tien thought that Ca Vi wanted a divorce to return to his ex-lover who was living right next to his house. From here, the funny stories begin. Kim Tuyen shared earlier that she thinks she is more suitable for long-running dramas than the series, each episode is a funny short episode like “Do you know what mom is thinking?”. The actress said that in times of stressful epidemics, laughter and relaxation are important to help people be more optimistic. That’s why she decided to accept the role in this movie. Moreover, this is Kim Tuyen’s next collaboration with director Ly Khac Linh after the film project “Beauty and Fame”. Kim Tuyen personality in real life Kim Tuyen’s character Ca Vi is a beautiful, strong, determined woman. She works in sales via livestream. This is quite similar to Kim Tuyen in real life, so she has many advantages during filming. The actress hopes that her real-life experiences and what the screenwriter put into the film will help the audience better understand the hidden corners of online sellers. Not only working with a familiar director, Kim Tuyen also paired with Quang Tuan in this film. The two played together in the movie project “Sadness has eyes”. In Kim Tuyen’s eyes, Quang Tuan is the co-star she feels most satisfied with so far because he is very sociable and has a lot of acting experience. Working with Quang Tuan will help her accumulate many useful lessons. Kim Tuyen’s full name is Tran Thi Kim Tuyen, born in 1987. She won the second prize of the reality TV show Women in the 21st century in 2006. After that, she entered the film industry and achieved many successes. such as the “Best Actress” award of the Golden Kite Award in 2009 with the movie “Love Story on Pearl Island”, “Excellent TV Actress” Blue Star (voted by the Arts Council) in 2014 , “Best Supporting Actress in a TV series” Golden Kite 2016 thanks to Youth,…

The “we” that Ah Tao is talking about are gay men on the island, like him. With the aim of understanding the life of the LGBT community in Hainan, I asked Ah Tao to be my guide. Unlike big cities in China such as Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, the LGBT community in the island located on the southern coast of the mainland 30 km is not really well received, has to live a closed life and hide its bias. sexual orientation towards society. Unlike in Beijing or Shanghai, the LGBT community in Hainan province still faces many prejudices and is not accepted by society. Photo: The Beijinger. Hide your identity 11 years ago, I spent 12 months learning Chinese in Hainan and interacting with the local LGBT community. From that experience, for the past 8 years, I have started researching the lives of gay, bisexual and transgender people in this low-economic and culturally low-value locality. In the past few years, the government has made a lot of efforts to promote tourism in Hainan, but there has not been the same level of investment in other coastal areas. Ah Tao led me out of the square, through an empty market, and into a dark alley. “When you go there, don’t mention homosexuality or heterosexuality,” he warned carefully. Most have to hide their identities to be able to integrate into the community and continue to lead normal lives. Photo: New York Post. I suddenly recalled in 2009, the first time my friends took me to the only gay bar in Haikou – the capital of Hainan province. It was nestled behind an abandoned hotel, hidden by another row of working hotels. Later, I found out that that is the common point of spaces for the LGBT community – discreet, out of sight. To outsiders, these areas are completely invisible, hard to find. But for people like Ah Tao, this is the only place to take off your mask and be true to yourself. “Happy or sad, I always go to these bars to relax. The LGBT community here doesn’t have that much space,” said Xiaomai, a 19-year-old gay man. However, such bars only exist in major cities on the island. In smaller towns, they can only meet and chat at teahouses, convenience stores and parks. The risk of being discovered, stigmatized, affecting honor, family and work is also greater. Therefore, Ah Tao told me not to mention a word related to “gay”. Following Ah Tao’s footsteps into a convenience store at an intersection in a dark alley, I saw three electric mahjong tables surrounded by many people, men and women of all kinds. Seeing Ah Tao, they turned to ask about love and marriage. “It looks like it, but the men sitting here are all gay,” Ah Tao whispered to me. Accordingly, because they want to participate in community activities, many gay people in Hainan accept to hide their identities and pretend to be a different person. The worry of “no wife, no children” “How do you have a wife and children that are so few these days?”, a woman playing mahjong turned to ask Ah Tao. In fact, gay men here often receive such curious questions about marriage. Family pressure, children are always present, reminding Ah Tao that he is living “no wife, no children”. Many people in the community fear that they will be forced to marry and have children according to the expectations of family and society. “I am happy to make friends, get to know many people like me. But what about the future? How should I face my family, how do I explain the fact that I am still unmarried at 20-30 years old?”, Xiaomai’s heart. Some gay people living in Hainan choose to have children through surrogacy, which helps relieve the pressure of marriage and the anxiety of loneliness in old age. Photo: The Guardian. In China, the traditional concept of family still has a profound influence in society. For men, they need to be responsible for getting married and having children at all costs. In addition, due to fear of old age without a caregiver, many gay men accept marriage. “I got married partly because of my parents, partly because I was afraid that I wouldn’t have someone to look after me in my old age,” said 24 year old Liang Zongwei, a gay man living in Haikou. Some individuals like Ah Long (36 years old), a factory owner in northeastern Hainan, choose to have children through surrogacy. However, not everyone has the financial means to do this. In big cities, social organizations are trying to change stereotypes and raise social awareness about the LGBT community. But with provinces and cities that have not yet received economic and cultural investment like Hainan, the presence of homosexuals has not been properly recognized. From the experience of making friends with Ah Tao and being exposed to LGBT culture in Hainan, I reflect more on life, wondering if having to hide my true self is really “living”.

Despite stopping in the top 21 of Miss Universe 2020, it is undeniable that Khanh Van has worked hard and left a mark in this beauty arena. No longer a meek girl in a flowing ao dai, the Vietnamese representative shows other sides of herself through attractive and personality costumes. Confiding to Zing, Tran Dat – the stylist accompanying Van – said: “Many people have said that Van is ‘light’. Therefore, I and the crew want everyone to see her daring angle.” Back on the day Van left for the US to compete, fans were surprised by her “makeover” as well as the meanings behind the costumes. “The white dress from designer Vo Thanh Can represents the friendship, the mission on the shoulders and the Fatherland in the heart,” emphasized the stylist. Due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, the makeup team and stylist could not accompany her. Van went to the exam with 15 suitcases of clothes carefully prepared from the crew. When in transit, she changed her own clothes and adjusted her makeup. From the first days of appearing in the US, Khanh Van constantly wears cut-out dresses, splits showing a sharp and seductive image. Due to a long travel schedule and changing living habits, Van lost weight. Therefore, wearing looser clothing is inevitable. The green dress is inspired by the green hills of the highlands. She holds a woven bag made of sedge mat – a handicraft product of a Vietnamese craft village. The beauty of Ho Chi Minh City had an impressive “hello yard” on the day of meeting other Misses in the costume of designer Do Manh Cuong. This is the time when she shows the brave Khanh Van image, ready to integrate. The image of Thap Muoi water lily was cleverly sent by designer Tang Thanh Cong to the dress Khanh Van wore within the framework of the event. This is a flower familiar to Westerners, with a brilliant pink color. Its branches can be processed into many typical Vietnamese salad dishes. The dress model does not cause objection to the beauty when she has a delicate handling, covering the high slit when active. On the day of rehearsal for the semi-finals, Khanh Van chose a jumpsuit inspired by the streets of Ho Chi Minh City at night. The detail of the waistband is commented to help her flatter her figure and ensure it is in line with world fashion trends. According to Tran Dat, the fashion factor is also closely shown through the masks that are in sync with the clothes. This dress was created by designer Tang Thanh Cong, inspired by the terraced fields in Mu Cang Chai, Hoang Su Phi or Sa Pa. Through this, the team wants to promote the beautiful image of the S-shaped country to friends around the world. The black rose dress brings a powerful and magical image to Khanh Van. In the last rehearsals before the semi-final night, the Vietnamese representative looked cool when wearing the design of young designer Quy Cao. Electric blue corresponds to the color of the Hard Rock Holly hotel – where the contest takes place. Modern shape, accents are reflective lines to help her stand out more. Khanh Van’s fashion journey cannot be complete without the presence of the traditional Ao Dai. On the background of silk Ao Dai, jewelry and bags have the lotus symbol clearly visible. This implicitly confirms the message “Van always remembers her homeland wherever she goes”. The occasion Khanh Van went when there was also a prominent event was the anti-LGBT day (May 17). Therefore, she brought a dress pattern that matched the theme. “The main part of the dress is made in purple. The color mixed between pink (representing women) and blue (representing men) has long been a symbol for LGBT, associated with the history of struggle of the LGBT community since late 19th century”, Tran Dat explained. Khanh Van’s journey at Miss Universe 2020 officially ended. With her charisma, confidence and meaningful things, she brought to the country of flowers enough to conquer the audience in her hometown. “Van has worked hard. No matter what the outcome is, just come back and everyone will wait for you. Everyone is proud of Van” is a saying many people want to send to her now. Close-up of Miss Khanh Van’s national costume ‘Ken Em’ At “Miss Universe 2020”, Miss Khanh Van chose a national costume inspired by a cocoon, weaving silk with a unique open-close design.

It’s a color that blends pink (representing women) and blue (representing men) for a long time as a symbol for LGBT, associated with the history of the LGBT community’s struggle since the late 19th century” – Stylist Tran Dat – the person in charge of Khanh Van’s costume at Miss Universe shared. The dress has a tight shape, cut-out on both sides to respect the perfect curves and long straight legs of the Vietnamese representative. One of the highlights of this outfit is the giant long bow that sweeps the ground with the image of a hexagonal rainbow, the symbol of the LGBT community. Miss Khanh Van’s mask is also designed in the same color as the bow. LGBT rights promotion expert Huynh Minh Thao. Photo: NVCC Exchange with PLO, LGBT rights promotion expert Huynh Minh Thao said Miss Khanh Van had a set of photos to support the LGBT community last year (along with Lynk Lee, BB Tran, Hai Trieu…). So at Miss Universe – the second largest beauty arena in the world, Khanh Van will continue to show her support for the LGBT community in some way. “It was surprising that designer Van Thanh Cong’s beautiful dress with a rainbow color stripe, the color representing the LGBT community on the back – With the meaning “red – courage, orange – knowledge, yellow – battle victory, green – development, blue – hope and purple – integration” – Hopefully these will also be the good wishes that the LGBT community sends to Khanh Van in this year’s Miss Universe contest! “- Huynh Minh Thao said. The dress is even more meaningful when the World Day Against Discrimination against the LGBT community is approaching. Photo: Tran Dat Previously, Miss Uruguay’s costume with the message printed on the rainbow flag: NO MORE hate, violence, rejection, discrimination (roughly translated as NO MORE hate, violence, denial, discrimination) was also received. much interest from the community. Final Miss Universe World The 69th edition (Miss Universe) will take place at 7:00 am on May 17. Every year, May 17 is the world day to speak out against stigma and discrimination against people from the bisexual, gay and transgender (LGBT) community.

Share with Zing , Lyli said from a young age, she has loved hand made items. As an adult, working in the fashion design field, she has the opportunity to pursue her passion. The peacock’s blanket bag was the first gift Lyli gave her mother. Lyli’s first recycled product was a set of bags, purses and fashion accessories made from subsidized peacock blanket. She gave these items to her mother. She was very touched, encouraging her daughter to continue to be creative. To create a new item from old materials, Lyli must collect, classify fabrics, design designs suitable for that fabric or at the request of the orderer. To make products more fashionable and beautiful, they need to be studded with stones, drawn or embroidered. However, to limit waste in the environment, she limits the use of new items, making use of all that can be recycled. On average, a LyLi product makes in 3-5 hours, the price ranges from 250,000-750,000 VND depending on the design and the difficulty of the material. Besides, the secret to turning old clothes into beautiful bags, she must pay attention to the sorting and cleaning of fabrics. In addition, she is always thinking, creating fashion products, plus decorative motifs, handcrafted stone. The girl turns old clothes into a beautiful handbag. The 32-year-old designer says 90% of the details that make up the recycled bag are environmental protection products such as old fabrics and molds from plastic waste. In addition, recycling can help people store souvenirs in another form. At the same time, this is also a way to save and reduce consumption costs when taking advantage of second hand. In particular, the most important meaning of this is to help reduce waste in the environment, extending the life cycle of each item. “I do it first for myself and for people who care about the environment. After that, I hope everyone will join hands to protect the environment more “. From the initial success, Lyli and his colleagues launched the project “Giving away old stuff – getting new things back.” Accordingly, each person can exchange 5 old items to receive a recycled gift. In particular, the proceeds, Lyli will be used to build Fund Am Thank. Lyli Hoang plans to use this fund to donate to people with difficult circumstances, people with disabilities … In addition, the 32-year-old designer’s recycling project also creates jobs for many people with special circumstances such as autistic people, inferior people in the LGBT community … Lyli wants to create a variety of environmentally friendly products. “They are very interested in community issues, are conscious of environmental protection, so they affect me a lot. You guys have been with me for a long time, someone who shares the same direction and support, I believe the project will go for a long time ”, shared Lyli Hoang. In the coming time, Lyli wants to continue to develop more styles and materials for making recycled bags to make them more convenient, unique and environmentally friendly. In addition, the designer wants to bring products “made in Vietnam”, which bring the message of environmental protection to foreign countries.

Beauty is a practical need of people, in anyone, regardless of gender or age. Men’s need for beauty and aesthetics is not a new issue. According to the development of the times, this demand is increasing in recent times with many services being interested in such as liposuction, six pack abs, eyelid fat cuttings, nose lift, laser. Skin rejuvenation, whitening bath, hair transplant, beard transplant …

Men’s need for breast beauty, depending on the different needs, can be divided into:

-Group 1: A male group belonging to the LGBT community who needs surgery to create a breast shape similar to that of a female. This group has a shape and characteristics of the breast pocket similar to the one in normal women.

• Group 2: Partially related to the problem of the disease or the skeleton structure causing concave thoracic region, even though many positive measures are carried out in exercise, it still cannot overcome this defect, so it is necessary Surgical intervention to improve physique.

• Group 3: Group with masculine beauty needs, plump breasts. But for many reasons such as not having normal conditions to exercise, exercise as well as need a quick effect, it is possible to rely on the intervention of plastic surgery to achieve the desired effect. In this group, the shape of the breast pocket will be different from the breast pocket in women. Most breast bags for this need are square, triangular …, breast bags are usually flat, thin, not round, like bags in women. In terms of materials as well as techniques, there is no difference compared to women. Since this group of needs is not large, and breast bags are often not readily available, patients often have to spend a lot of time ordering, waiting and having few facilities to do so.

In terms of structure, the “bust” structure of men and women is different. The structural components such as muscle, adipose tissue, mammary gland … are all the same, but there are differences in terms of gender such as thinner breast muscles, larger mammary glands, more adipose tissue. , the skin is softer. Due to this difference, the group of male patients wishing to have breast surgery like women need to be on some hormonal drugs for a certain period of time to help soften the skin in the breast area. more elastic to meet the desired breast capacity. In the case of men placing the breast bag in a masculine direction, some techniques perform placing the chest bag below the muscle layer to increase the aesthetics of the shaping result.

Possible complications

Breast surgery in men has the same risks of complications as women:

Unbalanced breasts: A condition in which one breast is different in size, shape and position from the other side. In addition, the position of the nipple and nipple folds can also be skewed.

Infectious complications: Infections can have serious consequences on the cosmetic end result of surgery, and even pose a potential risk to the patient’s health and life. The main cause of this situation is that the operating room does not ensure sterile conditions, medical equipment is not thoroughly cleaned … as well as the postoperative care operations are not guaranteed.

The right bodybuilding exercises give men a toned “bust”

Complications of hematoma: Postoperative hematoma is a complication after breast augmentation due to the process of damaging blood vessels leading to accumulation of blood around the wound. The specific manifestation is the appearance of bruises around the chest. The wound did not heal and blood was drained from the outside.

Shrinkage: A complication related to breast surgery that usually occurs in a late stage: there are many causes of condom shrinkage after breast augmentation surgery. The cause may be from the technician in creating a receptacle that is not large enough, or not well drained to collect the hematoma without taking it out, these agents then form a condom. On the other hand, due to the reaction of the patient’s body, there are those who have a strong external reaction to things from outside the body. Silicon is an inert substance that is used extensively in medicine, but has a certain percentage of reactions with the body.

In some cases, complications may be more severe, possibly leading to rejection of the breast sac.

Care after breast surgery in men

Basically, the wound care, post-operative follow-up, periodic check … After surgery, it is necessary to avoid vigorous movements such as carrying, heavy exercise … to prevent complications of muscle tearing, bleeding. Exercise can be done when the body has recovered. It is recommended to start with light intensity exercise and consult a specialist.

In fact, many cases of men performing breast shaping, women have had chest pocket dilatation and colostomy after surgery. This reason is related to the implementation technique, not from the reason that the body structure cannot keep the breast pocket as many people think. In addition, a number of other causes that can lead to this situation are improper placement, volume of breast bags exceeding the limit of skin leading to saccharification …
