Spectacular escape from Japan Aides from top manager Ghosn confess

Status: 14.06.2021 4:13 p.m.

You are said to have helped smuggle the former car manager Ghosn in a suitcase from Japan to Lebanon: Two accomplices confessed to helping people escape. The US citizens face three years in prison. Actually, the former Renault boss Carlos Ghosn was supposed to face a lawsuit in Tokyo on charges of serious embezzlement of funds, instead he managed a somewhat spectacular escape on board a private jet – in a music case. He had accomplices: two Americans, father and son, have now confessed to helping them escape. At the beginning of the trial in Tokyo, they admitted the accusations of the public prosecutor’s office: According to them, the 60-year-old Michael T. and his 28-year-old son Peter first created the escape plan and finally made it possible to escape. A third alleged helper from Lebanon is still on the run.

“Maybe there is a young woman in there”

Michael T. is a former elite US Army soldier who works in the private security services sector. According to the US prosecutor, he is said to have traveled to Japan several times and met Ghosn there at least seven times. According to Japanese media, his son Peter is said to have received 144 million yen – equivalent to just under 1.1 million euros – from the Ghosn family for the help. The accused used most of the money to prepare for the escape, including for the private jet. They denied being specifically paid for their help. The court re-elaborated the details of the escape – how Ghosn was hidden in the suitcase intended for musical equipment, holes drilled in to give the ex-manager a breath. How the three escape helpers pretended to be musicians and thus outwitted baggage control at the airport. And as one of the airport staff joked about the weight of the suitcase: “Maybe there is a young woman in there.”

Other escape helpers have already been convicted

At the end of February, a court in Istanbul had already sentenced three Turkish citizens to several years in prison for conspiracy to smuggle a migrant. Among them were the two pilots who are said to have flown the machine with Ghosn on board initially from Tokyo to Istanbul, from where he continued his flight to Lebanon. In Japan, Ghosn was actually waiting for his trial before he fled. He was arrested there in November 2018. The judiciary accuses him, among other things, of having transferred private losses to the Japanese automaker Nissan, which is allied with the French automaker Renault, and of having misappropriated company capital. Since his escape, the disgraced car manager has remained in Lebanon and is not allowed to leave the country. However, Lebanon does not expel its citizens, which is why the Japanese judiciary has no access to Ghosn. In addition to two others, he also has Lebanese citizenship. There are also investigations against Ghosn in France. Among other things, it is about the possibly illegal financing of two lavish parties at Versailles Palace.

This bacon was processed in 1902 by the Gwaltney Foods meat company before it was lost in storage. When discovered two decades later, Pembroke D. Gwaltney Jr. turn it into “pet bacon”. It was added with a copper necklace and taken to numerous exhibitions to demonstrate to customers that the company’s meat could be preserved without refrigeration. “Pet Salted Meat” In 1931, PD Gwaltney Jr. walked into a hotel in Washington DC (USA) with a suitcase in hand, wondering if it was possible to store the luggage in the hotel’s secure storage. The receptionist looked at the suitcase and asked what was so important in it. Answer by Gwaltney Jr. very simple: “Ah, just my pet bacon”. He’s not joking, and he’s also serious about wanting to keep the meat safe. An insurance company valued it at $5,000 at the time – the equivalent of $77,000 today. “Every time he goes to a food show, Gwaltney Jr. brings a special chain, which he pins the chain to the floor so that no one can steal the meat,” said Tracey L. Neikirk, curator of the Isle County Museum of Wight, Smithfield, Virginia – said. The piece of meat has its own brass ring and is owned by Gwaltney Jr. called “pets”. Photo: Southerning. Gwaltney Jr. is the owner of one of Virginia’s most successful bacon processing companies. He promoted his business by bringing his 30-year-old “pet bacon”, then 30 years old, to trade fairs, food shows, even naval ships. It’s all part of a clever marketing plan that positions Gwaltney’s hometown as the “Bacon Capital of the World”. The piece of meat was carried everywhere. Photo: Southerning. Salted meat has been associated with the name of the Virginia region since the early days of the state’s founding. According to The Country Ham by Jeanne Voltz and Elaine J. Harvell, when the English colonists arrived in Jamestown in 1607, they brought a boat full of pigs. The next boat is full of piglets. They proliferated throughout nearby Williamsburg, so much so that locals moved the pigs to an island on the west bank of the James River, now known as Hog Island. The number of pigs growing around Smithfield and the Isle of Wight is increasing. When peanuts became popular in the area after the Civil War, pigs were free to roam the fields, eating peanuts left over from the harvest. These “peanut-fed” pigs help make Smithfield and the region’s bacon in the culinary world. Peanut-raised pork and a complicated and time-consuming salting process have created a unique flavor of salted meat, surprising the world’s gourmets. By the mid-19th century, Queen Victoria ordered six pieces of Smithfield bacon a week for the palace kitchen. Their prices skyrocketed. Smithfield bacon is world famous. Photo: Denverpost. As other places began to fake lower quality meat and sell it under the name Smithfield bacon, Virginia put strict rules on the meat bearing this name: Pigs had to be fed peanuts, meat had to be salted in Smithfield boundary. In other words, Smithfield has become the Champagne region of bacon. More than 100 years of history In 1891, PD Gwaltney Jr. joined his father’s peanut business – Gwaltney Sr. – at Smithfield and helped scale the company. Gwaltney Foods became a “big man” in the salt meat processing industry. At this point, Gwaltney the son learned a few marketing tricks from his father. A year ago, his father picked up a groundnut from a local field, wrote the year of harvest on it, beginning to show those curious about the quality of his produce how well the peanuts were preserved. The world’s oldest peanut also comes from the Gwaltney family. Photo: Isle of Wight Museum. After many years, Mr. Gwaltney Sr. Realizing the age of the peanut itself is an attractive feature. Today, it is the oldest groundnut in the world. In 1902, Gwaltney Jr. does the same thing when a ham is accidentally left in storage. When he discovered the meat, he immediately saw a great business opportunity and decided to keep it to see how long it could last. Years passed, and in August 1921, a storehouse of peanuts owned by the Gwaltney family caught fire, setting tons of peanuts and a nearby bacon store on fire. According to the Isle of Wight County Museum, “the smell of peanuts and burning fat lingered in the air for weeks.” Luckily, Gwaltney Jr.’s pet meatballs. was stored elsewhere and escaped safely. The fire severely damaged the Smithfield peanut business, making bacon the town’s main export. Gwaltney Jr. began to focus on promoting their salted meat products, which meant bringing the old meat everywhere. He bought it $1,000 insurance, then increased it to $5,000. In 1932, the piece of meat appeared on the show “Believe it Or Not” (roughly translated: Believe it or not), which stated that the meat was “still soft, sweet and edible after 30 years”. To date, the 118-year-old piece of meat is officially recognized as the world’s oldest bacon – burnt red, with dotted white and yellow streaks and wrinkled skin. The lump of meat is still edible, but the taste has changed a lot. Photo: Mentalfloss. Neikirk, curator of the Isle of Wight county museum, said the lump of meat smelled of smoke and wood. The dry salting process used to create the mass of meat involves salting and drying the blood, helping the meat to last longer and have a richer flavor. Although still edible, this hundred-year-old meat is not as delicious as before. “It’s like dried meat now,” Neikirk said. The appearance of the meat is also difficult to make visitors feel delicious. It looks like leather, and many people even liken it to a human arm soaked in chemicals for a long time. The meat is on display at the Isle of Wight county museum in a temperature-controlled glass case. This is also the place where the world’s oldest peanut tuber is located and the world’s largest block of salted meat weighs more than 29 kg. 2 famous pieces of meat hold the world record. Photo: Mentalfloss. Today, the museum continues to make the interesting journey of the bacon. Every year, a competition called “Pan-Ham” is held. Visitors will bring a photo of Gwaltney and the “pet meat” with them to locations around the world. The winner will receive a basket of peanuts. This particular piece of meat also has a Twitter account with its own account manager. A 24/7 webcam goes live on this account, allowing “fans” to watch the meat wherever it is.

Miss Universe Vietnam 2019 Nguyen Tran Khanh Van left for the US to compete in Miss Universe 2020 (the contest held late due to the Covid-19 epidemic) from May 2. After a 30-hour flight, the 26-year-old beauty was present in Florida (USA) and began to join dozens of beauties from other countries. In just 4 days, Khanh Van changed about 10 outfits.

The 69th Miss Universe contest is only half way through, but Khanh Van has made a very good impression thanks to her top-notch appearance, charisma and costumes that are both outstanding and meaningful. Khanh Van brought 15 large suitcases to the US and there were rumors online that she and her team prepared more than 200 costumes for this contest. But stylist Tran Dat, who is in charge of costumes for Khanh Van in the latest interview with the media, confirmed that the crew did not announce the exact number of clothes that Hau brought. Because the crew wants the audience to feel for themselves the quality and meaning of the designs that Khanh Van wore during the contest, rather than being overwhelmed with numbers. Stylist Tran Dat is also very happy that everyone had enough time to carefully prepare Khanh Van’s costumes. Many of the costumes that Khanh Van bring with them have complicated designs, need someone to help them wear them, but when they come to the US, Khanh Van will have to manage it alone. She has to dress herself, choose and wear accessories herself and this is not easy when the contestants have very little fashion to prepare the costumes. Therefore, the team had to change a lot of details in the original design for more convenience. For example, those with belts will switch to zippers for quick wear. The tight designs, stiff fabrics and slim zippers are also replaced with large zippers to avoid outfit problems. Sophisticated designs that cannot be worn alone like the Ken Em ao dai, the crew also came up with a plan to change the way of wearing, reduce details so that Khanh Van could handle it herself in the competition. Thanks to the team’s thoughtful calculations, until now, Khanh Van still handles very sweetly and shines brightly in complicated looking dresses.

Sleep capsule hotel is located in the Sheung Wan neighborhood of Hong Kong, China. Photo: Stairs going up to the hotel. It seems a bit like looking for a secret passage. When you see sleep related messages, you are about to see this hotel. One of the best things about the hotel is that there is no reception or keys. You just need to move your hand outside the door. A QR code is sent to you on the day of check-in. Simply scan the QR code on the scanner below to open the hotel door. 11 o’clock at night. Everyone in the hotel is sleeping. The screen at the entrance displays a message welcoming guests to the hotel and offers some useful information. Guest shoes are on a bench under the door. The hotel has an area of ​​34m2, according to Lifestyle Asia. The light on the bed flickered when the guest checked in, but I didn’t detect it because the bed was in a row not visible from the entrance. My cabinet code is stuck. A dear friend helped me unlock it – she also had trouble entering the passcode. The locker holds a cup of water, a towel, enough space for a small suitcase, and places to hang clothes. But neither me nor my friend could fit the suitcase because it was too narrow. A large self-sliding door separates the public bathroom from the sleeping area. But every time it opens and closes, the noise squeaks. When you turn on the faucet to brush your teeth, you also need to be aware. After brushing my teeth, I go to bed. I put my Kindle, phone, laptop, and water bottle in my bed. The magnetic induction curtain closes. Each bedroom is covered with rounded wood panels, with lights and charging ports. I grabbed my laptop intending to send out a bedtime email, but as soon as I started typing, I knew I couldn’t work because I would wake other guests. I could hear everything in the hotel, water running from the faucet, someone sifting through lockers and opening and closing the bathroom. The Sleep Hotel provides headphones, reading lights and a sleeping mask. It feels more like a hostel than a hotel. The big benefit of staying in a hostel (aside from being inexpensive) is that you can easily meet other travelers. There is a pamphlet next to the bed with all the information about the hotel. I’m not ready to sleep yet. But there’s nothing to do. I was really excited because at least in the morning the shower was still hot. I feel terrible. The other guests also tried their best to be as quiet as possible.

As the representative of Vietnam at the Miss Universe 2020 beauty arena, Nguyen Tran Khanh Van quickly impressed the audience and the media with her diverse and outstanding fashion style. She chooses clothes to appear at the airport with a relaxed spirit but still ensures maximum respect. The design of a sharp cut dark red knitted vest is combined with trendy shorts, followed by color synchronization from bags, suitcases, to a yellow star red flag mask. Joining the Miss Universe 2020 journey, Khanh Van prepared up to 15 suitcases and nearly 200 dresses, from gorgeous evening designs to youthful streetwear. Her neon green strapless dress was cleverly combined with copper gold earrings and heels. The emphasis on the bust and waistline accentuates the sexy curves. The design of a double-breasted vest with square shoulders and large lapels is bold in the spirit of feminism. The combination with straight hair shows sophistication in aesthetics. The purple color is inherently outstanding, but when dyed with an ombre from light to dark, it brings an eye-catching visual effect. Streetwear stands out with the mainstream punk style. Vinyl short skirt with copper yellow box pocket shirt. Khanh Van combines accessories such as beret hats and knee-high boots. Glossy leather material makes the beauty even more attractive when the sun shines on. The charming Vietnamese representative in the brilliant red high slit design. The outfit is inspired by the water lily, colored and cut according to the petals of the Dong Thap Muoi region, associated with the life of the Southwest people.

The elaborate design attachment contributes to a splendid and impressive appearance. The beauty and the crew are always meticulous in every detail to create a synchronous and harmonious whole. The colors with strong colors such as red, yellow, purple, green, blue also accompany Khanh Van throughout the journey.

Khanh Van is charming in the design of a canary yellow split dress. The outfit with generous cut and split lines, resonates with sophisticated fabric twisting techniques to help Miss Hau enhance her outstanding figure. Curly brown hair harmonizes with the color of the outfit, while the sedge bag carries a fresh breath of resort fashion. The representative of Vietnam harmoniously combines blue with a beige white handbag. However, the off-the-shoulder outfit with the front drawstring accent is not appreciated because the ruffled fabric creases at the waist create a less elegant look. Khanh Van is not inferior in the same frame as the reigning Miss Universe 2019 Zozibini Tunzi. The design of a long dress with a split neckline with floral accents on the chest brings a classic spirit in harmony with a contemporary breath, while creating a noble and luxurious nuance. A series of evening gown designs with generous and bold cuts to help beauties enhance their attractive figure. The accents of sequins are intricately attached to increase the splendor and beauty. Khanh Van once shared on her personal page: “Bring Vietnamese beauty and culture to Miss Universe” (Bringing Vietnamese beauty and culture to Miss Universe). Hau’s recent outfit is inspired by terraced fields. The colors of black, yellow, and green are like symbols of wet rice culture. The tassels are cascaded and create vivid effects in every step. The striking sky blue design with emulsion coating material sparkles when the light hits it. If you are used to the image of the gorgeous Khanh Van in evening dresses, the combination of a biker jacket and dusty pants will surprise many viewers. According to the most recent evaluation of a beauty site, Khanh Van ranked first as the owner of the most beautiful outfits, followed by 4 outstanding representatives: Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, and Thailand. The new look of the Vietnamese representative also received many compliments when inspired by the image of a lotus flower with pink color dotted with green leaves, silk fabric background on a traditional ao dai shape.

Prepare suitcases to go Every trip I prepare a check-in suitcase including clothes, accessories, milk … Besides, I prepare a carry-on suitcase of baby items for use on the plane as clothes that can be changed if dirty or hot, toys, crayons, travel bedding, hungry milk and candies, and a battery-filled phone for your baby to watch fussy cartoons. Moving on the island Small groups of 4-7 people can choose from 2 modes of transportation such as booking Grab or rent a package. If I move to nearby places, I will call Grab. Renting a car package, I feel more convenient when traveling with the baby because it can be stored in the car and do not have to wait. The price ranges from 600,000 to 1 million dong / day. Your family should arrange the schedule with the driver for a good price. Place of stay I experienced from homestay to resort. Here are 4 places to stay. April 4 Homestay : This location is located in the center of Duong Dong. The homestay has a unique sand yard, swing slide, large swimming pool … In the morning, the baby gets up playing sand right in front of the room. The downside is that there will be sand in the room, so some people don’t like it. The price is about 500,000 VND / night. Lotus homes : Located in Ham Ninh fishing village, the price for 1 night is about 1.8 million VND. This area is a villa on the sea, beautiful and unique. Each room is designed with enough kitchens, bathtubs, outdoor mesh beds, stairs to the sea … I find this villa more suitable for couples than families with small children. Around this place is a fishing village, so spoiled for eating fresh seafood. Fusion Resort is my favorite resort. Vinpearl Phu Quoc : I order a combo of 2.9 million VND / 3 days 2 nights / person. This price includes 3 meals a day and unlimited fun at Vin Safari and VinWonder. The hotel design is nothing unique, but I find it convenient to go with children. The babies will be able to play comfortably all day without spending extra money. The area provides tram shuttle. The family is allowed to borrow a stroller for free. Fusion Resort : I go urgently so I book a room with a fairly high fee of 3.3 million VND / 3 days 2 nights / person. This is my favorite resort in the resort locations. From design to service are okay, especially the resort serves breakfast at the swimming pool. Unique play spot Vin Safari or VinWonder : If traveling with the baby, families should come here. My baby went to 2 times but always wanted to come back. These two locations are quite large, so if you want to explore them all, each area will take a day. Because I don’t have much time, I go to Vin Safari in the morning and go to VinWonder in the afternoon. Going out with children, parents need to prepare a stroller, filtered water, an umbrella or a sun hat. Bai Sao : This site is famous for its fine sand and clear seawater. I spent all day playing here and still regretted when I got back. Rach Vem : Located in the North of the island, about 25 km from Duong Dong town, it is known as the “kingdom of starfish”. It rained the day I went, so the water was cloudy and many branches of the trees drifted ashore, not as clean as usual. Ocsen bar is quite crowded, so taking nice pictures is not easy. Hon Thom cable car : Starting from An Thoi station, you will pass Hon Dua, Hon Roi and end at Hon Thom. On the cable car journey, your family will enjoy the majestic, pristine nature of the tropical paradise south of the pearl island. Watching sunset at Ocsen bar : Personally, I do not like this place because it is too crowded and had to squeeze each other to take pictures. Smaller sand beach than I imagined. Employees are not professional and enthusiastic. Dining places must try On the rock restaurant : This is the place to watch the sunset that I find the most beautiful in Phu Quoc. The mother and daughter are not here, but set the table at 17:30 to watch the sunset. I find the tables of the restaurant are too close together, so it is difficult to take beautiful photos at sunset because of the large number of customers. The staff here are overloaded during peak hours, so everyone’s face is nervous. For dinner, I order pizza 4 cheese, salad, grilled ribs, fried seafood, fried water spinach, french fries, white rice. The food was delicious, but there were no special delicious dishes for me to recommend to everyone. Seafood Tinh Bien : This is a place for your family that should not be missed because fresh seafood is selected on the spot. Enthusiastic staff, delicious food and fast food. Seafood meal for 3 adults and 3 babies costs about 1 million VND. Giraffe Restaurant in Safari : The dining table is next to the giraffe area, so the kids love it. Just sitting and resting for lunch, the children have more time to play. The food I don’t feel is delicious. On the rock restaurant is the most beautiful place to watch the sunset in Phu Quoc. Vermicelli stirring Kien Xet : The shop has both fresh noodles and rolls. A bowl of fish cakes, shrimp rolls and squid. You can order more beef, but I don’t think it is suitable. Shrimp and squid pies are not already cooked. The seller will squeeze the bowl into the bowl then fill the bowl with boiling water to make it ripe, so it is still sweet. The shop is close to the night market so everyone is convenient to go out. The downside of this location is quite hot and squash. Buffet at Vinpearl Golf : This place will be for those interested when buying a package voucher at Vinpearl. Food variety from Asia to Europe. The restaurant has a food court for babies with porridge, small food … The menu changes by day, in the evening there is an outdoor barbecue area. In general, I think that if I just need to rest, the combo in Vinpearl is very reasonable. Do you have a trip this summer yet? Please share with us about the schedule, costs and beautiful pictures at: lifestyle@zing.vn The articles will be edited and published in the Zing Travel column.

In front of the camera, a girl held an iced latte in her hand, trying to pose nonchalantly. Another girl was annoyed at her boyfriend because she had not taken a satisfactory photo. Not at the professional studio, this is the scene that takes place at the newly opened Patina cafe in January in Bangkok’s old town, according to Nikkei Asia. Searching by hashtag on Instagram, hundreds of images of young Thai people in stylish outfits can be seen, leaning over antique furniture or posing “virtual life” under crystal chandeliers.

Similar scenes take place at many of the most upscale cafes across Thailand. At the cafe a block away from Patina, everyone waited anxiously for their turn to pose at the fun graffiti at the entrance. The photos are then edited and posted on social media. The “cafehopping” trend in Thailand is like a sport. Every weekend, thousands of young Thai people with photographic equipment flock to Bangkok’s cafes to check-in in a variety of styles. Some go to six cafes a day, creating a series of check-in moments as if there was an underground race to see who was the first to discover the new “virtual living” location. The leaders of this race become “cafe influencer” and can receive a large amount of money for advertising posts on Instagram. The image is often found in cafes throughout Bangkok.

Home-grown coffee is also gaining popularity again, with specialty kiosks and home delivery services from small-scale farms in Thailand’s northern mountainous regions. However, what attracts customers is mainly the eye-catching in the layout, not the quality of the coffee. Many shops advertise beautiful photo corners or “zodiac” hours to have satisfactory photos posted online. Some places also arrange photo booths to attract customers. Many people can go to many cafes during the day to have beautiful photos posted online. Photo: @mimitober. Based on the crowd’s reaction, this advertising tactic seems to be quite effective. Eric Chan, co-owner of the famous Sarnies coffee shop in Bangkok, said: “I think it’s great that influencers in the ‘cafehopping’ world make cafes more popular”. However, some shop owners sighed when asked about their feelings before this trend. Natruja Threekhunwatana, manager of The Somchai in Thonglor, one of Bangkok’s trendiest neighborhoods, said: “When we opened it, everyone came in eagerly. They carry both suitcases of clothes and change in the toilet. It’s hard to manage. We don’t even have tables available for new guests. After that, we decided to ban taking photos for a while. Steven Lim, who co-owns the Luka cafe in the Sathorn district, often sees the same scene. “Even shopping websites secretly take photos at my shop. They brought both the truck and the model, ”he recalls. It is undeniable that Thailand’s coffee culture is developing very quickly. But for many young people here, having a “virtual live” wallpaper posted on social networks is still more important than enjoying and appreciating the taste of the drink.

She said she came here from 8:30 am with a friend to take check-in photos. Both must take advantage of soft light, passersby with the desire to have a satisfactory photo. Phuong Linh is not the only one who has the habit of going for coffee “virtual living”. Early in the morning, many young people were present at famous shops with impressive designs in districts 1, 2, and 3 to prepare for taking pictures. The cafes with beautiful views have become the favorite shooting places for young people. These guests usually come in groups of 2-8, carrying a variety of equipment such as phones, cameras or tripod. They spend 2-3 hours at the coffee shop, posing for pictures at the most beautiful and eye-catching corners. Some people even bring bags, suitcases for costumes and shoes to change the look for each different concept. Rainy team, bring suitcase of clothes At a coffee shop on Tran Ngoc Dien Street (District 2, Ho Chi Minh City), many young people came here early in the morning to take pictures. Many people have invested in professional equipment and teams to have satisfactory pictures. Ngoc Thuy (born in 1996), a freelance model, quickly picked up eye-catching angles to start posing. Behind Thuy, many groups of friends also eagerly awaited their turn to take pictures. According to the young model, the criteria for a satisfactory photo are beautiful background, good lighting and charisma. Today, she brought 7 dresses to shoot with different backgrounds. Ngoc Thuy prepared many costumes and accessories for the photo shoot. “I see that people review a lot, so I decided to choose this shop. Normally, I usually shoot at the filming location, outdoor environment, recently I often go to a cafe with a beautiful view to create new things, ”Thuy said. However, she usually has to pay fees to take pictures in these cafes. The most expensive photography surcharge that Thuy has ever paid is 400,000-500,000 VND / session. The female model commented that this price is quite “acrid” compared to shooting on a set, which only collects 100,000-200,000 VND per person. Ngoc Son (born in 1992), a manager at a coffee shop in District 2, said where he works, if the customer changes from 2 or more outfits, the in-house charges 300,000 VND. If shooting with a professional camera, the shop will charge 400,000 VND. The rest of the activities for family photography, check-in are normally free of charge. Ngoc Son added that visitors to his shop started to take pictures quite early, the most crowded at 7:30 to 9am and from 16am onwards. Most people come here for the purpose of taking photos, the shop also wants to target that customer. “It is quite common for customers to bring suitcases to photo shops. Because the purpose of the restaurant is to create space for you to take pictures, with fees for commercial shoots, I feel comfortable, no problem, ”Son told Zing. Many young people bring professional equipment to get the best photos. Like Ngoc Thuy, Pham Duc Anh (born 1997), owner of an eyewear brand, is also interested in the scene when choosing a cafe to take pictures. He often focuses on the layout rather than the quality of the drink. “I go to the cafe to take pictures about 4 times / month because making the scene at home or the studio is a bit boring. However, I am also most afraid of going to a restaurant that is too crowded, can not choose the right corner or has a corner but it is out of sunshine. Waiting for a long time until noon, the picture is bright, burned, not beautiful “, Duc Anh said. Attention when “virtual life” However, not all cafes are suitable and allow customers to take too many photos or serve commercial purposes. Dang, an employee of a coffee shop on Tu Xuong Street (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City), said that in the last 5 months, the shop had to put up a warning sign to remind customers not to take photos of the lookbook, to change clothes many times. “Before that, there were many friends who kept going to the toilet to change clothes, more or less affecting the business and experience of other guests”, the male staff shared. The crews tried to limit the photo taking time to avoid disturbing customers in the restaurant. Because they often go in groups and need time to align and adjust for each shot, customers who are passionate about “virtual life” often linger for a long time. At famous destinations, many people also have to queue in front of the shooting corners, waiting for their turn. “The two days I came, both fell on the weekends, so it was very crowded. Sometimes I wait forever without a table because people are engrossed in taking pictures, ”complained a guest named Thanh Truc. According to Duc Anh’s observation, more and more cafes were opened to serve virtual devotees. The above-modeled shops offer more options for those who love photography. However, he thinks that if you pay too much attention to the commercial aspect, the original purpose will be counterproductive, making the cafe a place for people to go just to check-in. On the other hand, there are also a few cases of unconsciousness when taking pictures, intentionally moving artifacts, destroying plants in the shop to get beautiful pictures. When going to take pictures at the cafes, Duc Anh often discussed in advance with staff and limited the “working time”. “I only stayed for 1-2 hours to give seats to other customers. I also often text the staff in advance and are willing to pay an extra fee to be photographed. For you models or influencers, it is normal to add extra jobs to both work and avoid troubles, ”he said. Many cafes hang notices banning customers from changing and taking commercial photos. Xuan Phuong (25 years old) told Zing about the experience to a quite famous cafe on social networks. Her friend said that even from 8:00, the shop had more than 20 customers taking pictures. “I know because the restaurant has a unique design and has been reviewed a lot, so it will be crowded, but I don’t think it will be that much. If you want to take pictures, you have to line up next to the place you like and wait for your turn, ”she said. Xuan Phuong revealed that she often goes to the cafe to take pictures to both capture eye-catching scenes and enjoy drinks. However, she stressed that customers need to keep in mind when “living virtual” in these locations. “I understand that taking photos often takes time, easily influences the restaurant and other customers. Therefore, I always try to press the phone as quickly as possible and turn off the phone ring to avoid noise, ”she shared.
