Qingqing: Huahua, what are you looking at? You seem so engrossed!
Huahua: July 6 is International Fried Chicken Day. Several places are offering various promotions, and I’m comparing which ones to go for.
Qingqing: Wow, that’s great. I’ll check, too. Besides fried chicken, I wonder if the chicken cutlet shops are also having discounts? I’m craving chicken cutlets with bubble tea.
Huahua: So, you’re a fried chicken fan, too! But chicken cutlets with bubble tea? That’s too much! It’s so unhealthy!
Qingqing: Where’s the health in tasty food? Plus, it’s to celebrate International Fried Chicken Day. But how did this holiday come about? It’s so interesting.
Huahua: I’m not sure either. The information online says it originated in the US, but I’m not certain if that’s true.
Qingqing: Ah, who cares? Enjoying fried chicken is the most important thing.
Huahua: Exactly. Then let’s order from this place together and have a great lunch on that day.

Rarely does Nature present such a striking contradiction as the one found in Lencois Maranhenses National Park.

So surreal is this spectacle that visitors might wonder if they’re gazing at a digitally modified photo rather than a living landscape. Were it not for the unique geographical and climatic conditions, such a marvel would not exist. Unlike typical deserts, Lencois Maranhenses receives a substantial amount of rainfall, particularly during the rainy season

An automated human washing machine was one of the highlights at the Osaka Kansai Expo, giving visitors a glimpse into the future of personal hygiene technology.
