Tibetan Dogs
Not a Loin it is Tibetan Dogs
Nearly every family in Tibet has a dog. From Lhasa to Amdo, Kham to Ngari most Tibetan families will have at least one Tibetan Mastiff. These are huge dogs. It is not uncommon for them to weigh between 60 and 70 kg (132 to 154 lbs) or more. The dog pictured above weighed about 40 kg (88 lbs) and was only 7 months old! A pure bred Tibetan Mastiff is not cheap. I have seen 1 year old dogs selling for over $50,000! About the cheapest you will see them is for around $1200.
Tibetan Mastiffs are used by nomads to protect their sheep, horses and yaks. Wolves prowl around Tibet trying to steal sheep. Tibetan Mastiffs are fearless and will fight with wolves in order to protect the livestock and family. These dogs also scare away thieves who come trying to steal yaks. Some nomads keep their dogs chained to a pole that is hammered into the ground, but many nomads let their dogs roam free. If you ever come up to a nomad family, you must be careful of the dog. The dog will attack anyone that it is not familair with. The dog will not stop attacking until the owner calls it off.
Tibetans love their dogs. It is basically a member of the family. Tibetan children love playing with their dog like in many other cultures. Tibetan dogs are familiar with everyone in the family. If anyone who the dog doesn't know comes to a nomad tent or to a Tibetan house, the dog will bark loudly and try to attack them. The owner only needs to say one word and the dog will back down. Tibetan dogs are very smart and obedient. If a family member leaves for a long period of time, the dog will never forget them.
Tibetan Mastiffs are usually fed beef and tsamba (roasted barley flour that is made into a dough). They also eat whatever leftovers need to be thrown out. It is not uncommon to see Tibetan dogs eating noodles or butter. Tibetan dogs have thick fur to protect from the extreme cold of Tibet. Most dogs sleep outside. Tibetans who live in houses will build a small dog house for their dog, but dogs belonging to nomads sleep on the open Plateau. Most dogs are given a name, but the names are different than the names given to people. Often the name will be a description of what the dog looks like. Many Tibetan Mastiffs are black with patches of brown around the neck and feet. We don't have a dog now, but we hope to buy one in the future.

Most Hairy Man in the World
The most hairy man in the world and his girlfriend
man Yu Zhenhuan who was considered to be the hairiest man in the world has become one the most popular rock-stars in his country and has made a fortune through his music. Doctors say that 96% of this man’s body surface is covered with think long hair, which reaches up to 6 cm!
When Zhenhuan was born he was completely covered in hair except for the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet, but by the age of two hairs began growing inside his ears.
Doctors were recommending that he get rid of the extra hairiness in that area but Zhenhuan didn’t consent because he felt too attached to it. The rock-star personally believes that his furriness is a gift from above which separates him from the ordinary mortals.
His music group’s popularity has largely increased due to the soloist’s unusual appearances. But the man ended up in the hospital after he lost a third of his hearing due to the overgrown hair inside his ears that filled the external auditory canals.
When Zhenhuan began feeling nauseous and having headaches the doctors concluded that the hair was presenting an actual danger to the brain, and convinced Zhenhuan to undergo an operation. The surgery in Shanghai ’s hospital went very well, and the musician has recovered.
According to Dr. Chen Jin Yang, the director of laser surgery clinic, this procedure included widening the auditory passage, correcting the birth defect and preventing the hair from growing back.
In 2002 Yu Zhenhuan was considered the hairiest man on the planet by the Guinness Book of Records, but last year Mexican acrobats Larry and Danny Gomez were recognized to be hairier. The 19-year-old twins have 98% hair covering on their bodies.
Hospital Restaurant
Hospital Themed Hotel-Restaurant (Latvia)
A unique, weird eating place has opened in Riga, Latvia named “Hospitalis“.It is a must-see place if you like stab things. The restaurant looks similar to a medicine cabinet, while you are treated as a patient and taken good care by the long-legged waitresses in nurses uniforms.The food is dish up in flasks and operating-room’s dishes and isn’t that contemptible (7 and more lats per food), but this is a bizarre knowledge that is worth contravention the bank. Besides, the place is owned by restricted doctors, but unfortunately, the head of Latvia, who is also a doctor, declined his look at the opening once he understand how weird this place really is.
Chinese Women Feet
Chinese Bound Feet
Foot binding
(Simplified Chinese: 缠足; Traditional Chinese: 纏足; Hanyu Pinyin: chánzú, literally "bound feet")
also known as kack put, was a custom practiced on females for approximately one thousand years in China, beginning in the 10th century and ending in the early 20th century. In Chinese foot binding, young girls' feet, usually at age 6 but often earlier, were wrapped in tight bandages so that they could not grow and develop normally; they would, instead, break and become highly deformed, not growing past 4-6 inches. As the girl reached adulthood, her feet would remain small and dysfunctional, prone to infection, paralysis, and muscular atrophy. This was initially a common practice only in the wealthiest parts of China, particularly in North China. However, by the late Qing Dynasty, foot binding had become popular among people of all social classes except the poorest of peasants, who needed able-bodied women to work the fields. Today, it is a prominent cause of disability among elderly Chinese women
