China: A street cleaning truck in action

As seen in Zhengzhou, Henan province.

It looks like a hair dryer and it sprays water into the air like a shower head!

P.S. This type of street cleaning vehicle in addition uses powerful water jets to clean the street surface.

China: Highway to flower garden

On my latest visit to Zhengzhou, Henan province, China I noticed that a lot of the many highway overpasses in this city were decorated with flowers along the left and right edge of the highway.

China: A casino for elderly citizens inside an underground subway station

On my latest visit to Zhengzhou, Henan province, I noticed two tables in a side wing of an underground subway station. There were two tables at least 8 elderly individuals sitting around these two tables, playing a card game together at each table.

I thought this was curious!

P.S. I don't think they were card playing for money.

China: It rains and you forgot your umbrella. No problem!

As seen in Zhengzhou, Henan province.

This umbrella rental machine is just for you! 😊 So far I have seen several of these rental machines.

China: Some progress with ticket vending machines for public transportation in an urban area

As seen in Zhengzhou, Henan province.

Very nice, most of the functions of this vending machine were translated into english.

However, if you e.g. have to look up the different routes of the subway system it is all still in chinese language.

Which place on earth would someone choose to spend the rest of life and to die?

How about Küssnacht, a village in Switzerland (population less than 20,000). The name of this village translates to kiss the night or goodnight kiss.

Tina Turner died in this village in 2023. She was survived by her husband Erwin Bach (a German). She became a Swiss citizen.

About sexual lesbian entertainment and escort services in Japan for lesbians and straight and married women

Different strokes for different folks! Life is a journey!

"... Rezu fūzoku, which roughly translates to “lesbian sexual entertainment,” refers to agencies where female sex workers provide sex to female clients. And in Japan, it’s entirely legal. I began investigating female-to-female commercial sex and escort services in 2023. ...

Unlike in many countries that historically criminalized homosexual acts, Japan only briefly outlawed them in the 1870s, during an era of rapid Western-inspired legal reforms.

After that period, the country did not reintroduce laws criminalizing homosexual acts, allowing same-sex relationships to exist largely without legal interference – even if they remained frowned upon in Japanese society. ...

Furthermore, homosexual prostitution has never been illegal. Japan did enact a strict anti-prostitution law in 1956 that bans the practice, which it exclusively defines as penetrative, paid sex between a man and a woman. As a result, any paid-for activity that falls outside of this definition – such as homosexual sex – is not considered illegal.

For my research, I interviewed a man named Obō, the founder of the Lesbian Girls Club, an agency with branches in Osaka and Tokyo providing female sex workers for female clients. ...

“Some of our clients are lesbians,” he told me. “But many are straight, also married. Most are between 26 and 35 years old, though we also have clients in their 60s and 70s.” ...

Sex is wellness

In my interviews, the term “iyashi” often popped up.

It means “healing” and refers to activities or services that provide relief from daily stress and negative feelings. Just as yoga classes or massages are seen as forms of iyashi, sex – especially commercial sex – is also branded this way in Japan. ..."

Vatican removes Alabama priest (age 30) who ran off to Italy with 'groomed' 18-year-old teen to marry her

I could not help myself to make fun! However, there is more to it!

Did they both discover and enjoy their first love? If yes, this relationship may have a happy end. 

At least the couple choose the right destination: Vive l'amore! Goole Bard describes it as "La frase "vive l'amore" è una frase italiana che significa "viva l'amore". È una frase popolare in Italia e viene spesso usata per celebrare l'amore, sia romantico che platonico. "

"... The report noted that laicization — the process of removing a clergy member from the ability to conduct duties within the church — can be carried out after a leader has been absent for more than six months, according to the statement. ..."
