If tea spread to your country by sea you call it tea, if it spread by land you call it chai. This is because the ports of Fujian and Taiwan use the coastal pronunciation "te", whereas Mandarin uses "chá".
So, stop using both names when offering tea to people – there is no 'chai tea'! :)
This lady nails what's wrong today in the modern society.
You're not respectful, you don't give them peace. Maybe try being kind and sweet and nice, and don't bring drama into their lives. And don't try to change them. Accept them for who they are and believe in them.
The crazy hailing and raining happened on August 28, 2023. Danish weather, man, it's something…
A couple of weeks ago, I posted a beautiful image I shot while taking a late evening walk. I don't know why I really enjoy looking at sunsets, sky and clouds in general, but I took another one. And it's from the exactly same spot as previously.

Jeg kan huske, da man kunne læse, at man skulle gå mindst 15.000 skridt, hvis man ville være sund, og at 10.000 skridt bestemt ikke var nok. Så kom der nyhedsartikler, der påstod, at nu var 10.000 nok, ikke mindst fordi det styrkede knogler.

The girl is filming a video in a park, updating her fans on social media about her running routine. Then a middle-aged man comes in the picture and sits down on a bench right behind her. The girl doesn't like that, so she asks him to move to another bench, but the man refuses.

It's time for a new change on the website. After two and half years running on GRAV content management system, I decided to use something even lighter. Previously, I used WordPress then jumped on GRAV, because I wanted to get rid of using database and heavy system. But then I realized that GRAV didn't make my system much faster and lighter. I also found out that I wasn't very active on my website, writing blog posts and such.
So, I decided to get rid of it and use a much lighter CMS (actually, it is just an online editor), so I implemented Yellow, a light CMS I know for several years now. After using a lot of time converting all the content to Yellow, I am ready now to present you a new, fresh and much faster version of avdibeg.dk. Cheers!
Vejle is such a nice town with very cool nature around it. A few days ago Amra and I took a ride to the area east of the city. We've been here before, but just too long ago. It's beatiful, tranquil and undisturbed by city noises.

In my opinion, there may be a generational divide at play here. My students belonging to (Gen Z) seem to interpret portrait photos differently from me. For instance, consider this photo of the Spanish dictator, Francisco Franco. Although I do not find him sad or angry in this picture, my students do. I find it challenging to understand their perception.
Read more…Jeg har altid været interesseret i og fascineret af Sovjetunionen, uanset om det drejer sig om landets forholdsvis korte historie, dets sociale, politiske og økonomiske forhold eller noget andet. Den britiske dokumentarist Adam Curtis er kendt for bl.a. sine værker The Century of the Self, HyperNormalisation og Can't Get You Out of My Head og har nu netop lavet igen en flot dokumentarserie, denne gang om Sovjetunionen, nemlig Russia 1985–1999: TraumaZone. Jeg har set det første afsnit, der handler om perioden 1985-89, hvor Gorbatjov kommer til magten, indfører perestrojka og glasnost, og hvor Sovjetunionen er i stor økonomisk krise og på vej til et politisk kollaps.

Takva je emisija Da Ti Kažem sa voditeljicom Aidom Bukvom, koja je u jednoj od epizoda ugostila Dejana i Darku Ostojića. Likovi su bukvalno raja i sve se svodi na zezanciju, iako nerijetko ubace i pametnu misao. Odavno se nisam nasmijao na njihova dobacivanja, npr. kada Dejana objašnjava šta znači kada Bosanac kaže "ma ja", "ma ja ma ja" i "ma ja ma ja ma ja". Razlika je drastična. :) Taj dio počinje negdje oko 20:50.
