Do you think there is anything strange about these three people? Believe it or not, there is only one real person in this picture. Can you tell which one is real?
The person standing on the right and the person standing in the back are not real people. They are statues made out of wax. Only the man jumping in the air on the left is real.
Wax statues are made to look just like real people. If you walked by them, you might never know that they were made out of wax.

These two statues are made to look like two very famous actors. Can you tell who they are supposed to look like? The one on the right is Bruce Lee and the one in the middle is Jackie Chan.
你認為這三個人有哪裡不對勁呢?不管你相不相信,這張照片裡只有一位是真人。你分辨得出誰是真人嗎?
站在右邊與後方的不是真人,他們都是蠟像。左方凌空跳躍的才是真人。
蠟像是模仿真人之作。假如你經過他們身旁,你大概不知道他們是由蠟製成的。
這兩座蠟像是仿製兩位相當知名的演員。你知道他們像誰嗎?右邊的人是李小龍,中間的是成龍。
Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl.

It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice. Japanese people have enjoyed noodles for over 1,000 years. The first noodles came from China and were introduced around 800 CE. As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon. Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
Drive-through (or drive-thru) restaurants provide people with the immense convenience of being able to purchase and pick up meals without needing to leave their vehicles. These restaurants have been around for decades, and their success has spawned a number of equally handy services. The drive-through concept originated with the drive-in restaurant, the first of which was established in the US in 1921. Patrons would order and eat the food that was delivered to their cars by workers called “carhops.” Ten years later, a drive-through service was introduced, but it was not until 1947 that the first exclusively drive-through restaurant opened its
