Bên cạnh đó, hồ Đa Nhim còn là một thắng cảnh tuyệt đẹp làm bao người ngẩn ngơ ngắm nhìn mỗi khi có dịp đi qua cung đèo Ngoạn Mục hay đèo Dran.

Hồ Đa Nhim (hay còn gọi là hồ Đơn Dương) là hồ nước nhân tạo nằm trong thị trấn Dran, huyện Đơn Dương, tỉnh Lâm Đồng. Hồ Đa Nhim tọa lạc giữa thiên nhiên tuyệt đẹp, cạnh nhà máy thủy điện Đa Nhim và cách thành phố Đà Lạt mộng mơ khoảng 40 km xuôi theo đường về Phan Rang (tỉnh Ninh Thuận).

China Refuses to Admit It Has a Rape Problem. I Would Know.

The Communist Party wants to blame Hollywood and “loose women,” instead of acknowledging its own epidemic levels of sexual assault.

In the fall of 2004, when I was 19, I studied abroad in the beautiful coastal Chinese city of Xiamen. One Friday evening, I attended an English meetup at a local university, hoping to make some Chinese friends. To my surprise, a group of Chinese men — young, but older than I was — flocked to me, asking me repeatedly if I had any boyfriends, if my dating life resembled the popular American sitcom Friends, and if I was “open,” which I later learned was a poor translation for a Chinese phrase that meant “sexually liberal.” I was not.

Pyongyang (CNN)A senior North Korean official has issued a stern warning to the world that it should take “literally” his country’s threat to test a nuclear weapon above ground.
