Happy and Healthy New Year

Wishing you a long life, good luck and prosperity!
To make wishes come true, there are a few tricks, such as enjoying the right food on New Year's Eve:

• Italy: Cotechino con lenticchie - eat as much as possible, because disc-shaped foods are a symbol of coins
• Germany: Good luck pigs are given at New Year's for good
• Spain: Eating the twelve lucky grapes at midnight, one at each tolling of the bell
• USA midwest: pork and sauerkraut - long strands of sauerkraut are a symbol for a long life
• Poland: Pickled herring - symbolizes money because of its silver color
• Japan: Osechi - is an entire category of foods traditionally associated with the Japanese New Year
• China: Fat choy, an edible algae, is commonly served because the name sounds like the word for prosperity in Chinese.
• Switzerland: Fondue Chinoise or Fondue Bourguignonne - almost half of the Swiss population eats this at the turn of the year.

Bon appétit & Happy New Year

Merry Christmas, China (rts.ch - French)

In the Chinese city of Yiwu, over 600 factories manufacture products that the world needs to celebrate Christmas. The film shows the everyday life of Chinese workers who are rooted in communist traditions and at the same time live the new Chinese dream of capitalism.

A modern smartphone contains a large number of  elements (highlighted in color). Titanium, for example, is used in the manufacture of the SIM card (light blue), and cobalt in the manufacture of the battery (orange). Hydrogen, which is contained in the housing (yellow), was already used in phones of earlier generations (1960 and 1990). Other elements, such as helium, molybdenum and cadmium, which were used in the past, are no longer present in modern smartphones. (translated by DeepL.com)

Green Framing, Black Tea

Before the fall of the Iron Curtain, Georgia supplied all of Eastern Europe with tea, as the climate in the country is ideal for cultivation. When Hannes discovered that the tea of her childhood had ceased production, she and partner left for Georgia and leased an overgrown tea plantation. They use all organic methods and pay workers above-average wages.
