Lantern Festival, Seoul, Korea

  Lantern Festival, Seoul, Korea

 Seoul Lantern Festival was organized near the Cheonggye Stream in Seoul, South Korea. About 20 counties participate in this event. This festival is part of a campaign by South Korea to attract Foreign Tourists.

Worlds Largest Cave in Vietnam

The World’s Largest Cave passage was discovered deep within a remote Vietnamese Jungle. The Son Doong Cave measures 262 feet by 262 feet (80 meters by 80 meters) and at least 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) deep, making it the largest single cave passage ever discovered, according to National Geographic News, where the discovery was announced.

The previous record holder, Deer Cave in Malaysia, is 300 feet by 300 feet (91 m by 91 m) in parts, but is only about a mile (1.6 km) long.

Know Your Liquor (useful knowledge)

Just for your information.........

Drinker's Favourite Drink ????

 

VODKA

Good to know:  Vodka is least likely to give you a hangover Vodka is made by fermenting grains or crops such as potatoes with yeast. It's then purified and repeatedly filtered, often through charcoal, strange as it sounds, until it's as clear as possible. 
CALORIES:  Because vodka contains no carbohydrates or sugars, it contains only calories from ethanol (around 7 calories per gram), making it the least-fattening alcoholic beverage. So a 35ml shot of vodka would contain about 72 calories. 
PROS:  Vodka is the 'cleanest' alcoholic beverage because it contains hardly any 'congeners' - impurities normally formed during fermentation. These play a big part in how bad your hangover is. 
Despite its high alcohol content - around 40 per cent - vodka is the least likely alcoholic drink to leave you with a hangover, said a study by the British Medical Association 
CONS:  Vodka is often a factor in binge drinking deaths because it is relatively tasteless when mixed with fruit juices or other drinks. 
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 3/10

WHISKY 

Good to know:   Whisky or Scotch is distilled from fermented grains, such as barley or wheat, then aged in wooded casks.

Whisky 'madness': It triggers erratic and unpredictable behaviour because most people drink whisky neat CALORIES: About 80 calories per 35ml shot.  

PROS:  Single malt whiskies have been found to contain high levels of ellagic acid, according to Dr Jim Swan of the Royal Society of Chemists. This powerful acid inhibits the growth of tumours caused by certain carcinogens and kills cancer cells without damaging healthy cells. 

CONS:  Whisky 'madness' - erratic and unpredictable behaviour - is a common problem with drinking whisky. It's caused by the way most people drink it - neat, explains Professor Jones.  

His experiments show that among people drinking the same amount of ethanol, those drinking it in the form of spirits, such as whisky, had the quickest and highest peak in the blood alcohol concentration, which occurred less than an hour after drinking began. 

'If you drink any alcohol on an empty stomach, it can compare with getting it intravenously' 

Professor Wayne Jones 

'To slow absorption down, you could take it very much diluted or along with a rich, calorie-dense ingredient such as cream, as in Baileys or Irish coffee.'

Whisky also contains lots of congeners, which tend to form during the ageing process in oak casks.

 A study by the BMA found that as a result, Bourbon Whiskey is twice as likely to cause a hangover as the same amount of vodka. 
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 8/10

 

 

WHITE WINE

Good to know:  White wine is made from the fermented juice of grapes stripped of their seeds and skins. 

CALORIES:  Around 130 calories per 175 ml glass; slightly more in sweeter wines.  

PROS:  American researchers found that grape flesh contains the chemicals tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol, which help lower arteryclogging LDL cholesterol.

 

CONS:  It's the sulphites formed naturally or added to white wine as preservatives to stop it going brown which are the most likely cause of the 'white wine hangover' many people complain of. 
Sulphites also carry the risk of an allergic reaction  which can worsen symptoms such as a  headache, or asthma . White wines also wear away tooth enamel faster, making teeth more sensitive. 
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 6/10 

RED WINE

Good to know:  Red wine is made from fermented grape juice - but unlike white wine, with the skin and pips included. It's then left to mature for a minimum of three years, during which pigments from the skins leech out and colour the wine red. 
CALORIES:  Around 120 calories in a standard glass - it's slightly lower in sugar content than white wine. 
PROS:  Contains more reservatrol - a plant anti- oxidant - than white wine. This helps to prevent blood clots and reduce inflammation, which is now considered to play a key role in heart disease. Also, the pips and skins used in red wines contain tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol, chemicals which help lower artery-clogging LDL cholesterol.
CONS:  Red wine drinkers can get worse hangovers than beer or white wine drinkers. Because of the way it's made, red wine produces two types of alcohol - ethanol and methanol. The liver processes the ethanol part of the drink first and leaves methanol until last. 'As a result, it's likely to be floating around in the body for a lot longer than ethanol, giving you that familiar "morning after" feeling,' says Professor Jones. 
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 7/10

Colour code:  Red wine can cause a worse hangover than white wine because it contains methanol, a second type of alcohol that lingers in your body the next day ...

BEER

Good to know:  Slow mover: Low in alcohol, beer is the least dangerous to drink 
Beer is made by fermenting barley. Hops are added for flavour and yeast to make the grains ferment into sugar and alcohol. 
CALORIES:  It's the most calorierich alcoholic beverage - just one pint contains between 170 and 200 calories, about the same as seven chocolate fingers biscuits.

PROS:  Beer is the least dangerous to drink and makes you feel you drunk the slowest. 
It has the lowest alcohol content - between 3 and 6 per cent for lager, and up to 8 per cent for ale and stout. 
A pint also contains more than a quarter of an adult's recommended dose of Vitamin B folate, which stops the build-up of homocysteinea chemical linked to heart attacks.  
CONS:  Beer is high in compounds called purines, which boost the levels of uric acid in the blood, according to a study at Massachusetts 
General Hospital. 
This can form crystals in joints, leading to painful attacks of gout. 
The 12-year study found that drinking more than two beers a day doubled the risk. 
Meanwhile, research published in the International Journal of Cancer showed that one pint a day adds a 10 per cent risk of bowel cancer, while two pints a day increases the risk by 25 per cent. 
HANGOVER SEVERITY: 4/10 

BRANDY

Good to know:  Brandy is a spirit distilled from red wine. Fine brandies are aged for extra flavour in wooden casks.

Hangover hell? Brandy contains high amounts of impurities 

CALORIES:  Around 80 in every 35ml shot.  

PROS:  Because brandy is a distillation of red wine, it contains a high concentration of antioxidants which mop-up 'free radicals' which, it's claimed, can damage the body organs and tissues and lead to deadly diseases. 

Australian scientists discovered that the antioxidants created during the distilling process mean that 30ml of good brandy would give the equivalent antioxidant hit of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C. 

CONS:  It could give you the worst headache of all, according to research at London  < http://explore.dailymail.co.uk/locations/cities/london >  's National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. This was closely followed by red wine, then rum, whisky and gin. Not only does brandy contain at least 40 per cent alcohol, the high quality cask-aged variety is likely to have the highest amounts of congeners, which are formed during the lengthy storage and fermentation process. 

Professor Jones says: 'Brandy contains literally hundreds of different volatile compounds, which gives it the distinctive pleasant smell but also contributes to the hangover.'

HANGOVER SEVERITY: 9/10

CHAMPAGNE

Good to know:  Fast acting: Champagne 
Champagne and sparkling wine are made in roughly the same way as wine - but then more yeast is added and it's left to ferment in the bottle a second time, producing carbon dioxide. 
CALORIES:  An average 175 ml glass of Champagne contains 133 calories, slightly more than a glass of white wine because syrup is added to improve taste. 
PROS:  The antioxidants in Champagne may help protect your brain against damage incurred during a stroke and against neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, according to a team of researchers from the University of Reading . They found that high levels antioxidants, called caffeic acid and tyrosol, helped protect brain cells from damage.

CONS:  The bubbles speed up the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. And contrary to popular belief, Champagne won't lift your spirits - alcohol affects brain receptors in the same way, whatever its source. 
'Alcohol basically works in the same way in the brain receptors as Valium,' says Professor Jones. 'It depresses brain activity and relieves anxiety. You might think you're in a good mood, but it's more likely the result of alcohol causing "disinhibition", making you more talkative and exhibitionist.'
