Soothing rose or tangy lemon? People in the Indian city of Ahmadabad will notice these two smells whenever they get close to a police officer's new uniform!
The uniforms aren't finished yet, but they should be done by the end of the year.
The Ahmadabad police department is making 8,000 new uniforms for their police officers. A team of clothing designers is helping them make the uniforms.

They will be made very lightweight so that the police sweat less. And they will also smell like either rose or lemon.
J. Mahapatra, the city's head policeman, said that by December, people will see a "new fresh look" when they run into or talk with a police officer.
Ahmadabad is nearly 30°C for half the year. Its policemen can spend as many as eight hours a day outdoors. The ones that direct traffic are outside the longest. The old uniforms could sometimes smell after a day like that.

是令人心曠神怡的玫瑰還是香氣撲鼻的檸檬呢?印度亞瑪達巴德市的民眾只要一靠近警察的新制服,就會聞到這兩種香氣!
這批制服仍在製作中,不過年底前應可完工交貨。
亞瑪達巴德市警局打算為員警訂製八千套新制服,一群服裝設計師正幫他們設計制服。
這些新制服將採輕便設計,所以員警們比較不會汗流夾背。此外,新制服也會散發出玫瑰或檸檬的香味。
亞瑪達巴德市警長馬哈帕特拉表示,到了十二月,民眾遇到警察或跟警察交談時,就可看到他們「煥然一新的樣子」。
亞瑪達巴德的氣溫大半年都接近攝氏三十度,當地警察每天在戶外執勤的時間長達八個小時,其中指揮交通的員警待在戶外的時間最長,這樣一天下來,舊款制服有時就容易發出怪味。

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. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
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.

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
Continued from yesterday(延續自昨日) https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang As with many aspects of Japanese culture, there is etiquette to follow when you enjoy noodles. To fully experience noodles like a local on your next visit to Japan, consider these simple guidelines. First, be careful where you put your chopsticks. Don’t leave them sticking up in the broth or set them at the side of the bowl. When you have finished eating or if you’re taking a break, place them on the chopstick rest next to the bowl. Also, it is impolite to wave chopsticks around or bring them above mouth-level. Second, don’t take too
