Çin'de Ulusal Otoyol 315 olarak da bilinen Qinggan-Gansu çevre yolu, çarpıcı ve sert çölün yüzeyinin Mars’a benzemesi nedeniyle "Mars Yolu" veya "ölüm yolu" olarak anılır.

Uçsuz bucaksız Gobi Çölü'nden geçen bu rota, Dünya'nın en uzak ve kurak ortamlarından birinde büyüleyici ama bir o kadar da zorlu bir yolculuk sunuyor.

Gobi Çölü'nün sade, başka dünyaya ait manzarası, onu ekstrem ve istenmeyen bir diyarın simgesi haline getiriyor ve bu ıssız yola cesaret edenlerin hayal gücünü cezbediyor.

Böyle ıssız uçsuz bucaksız bir çölde araba sürmek sadece cesaret ister..

Bi de motor sürmeyi düşünün

The Qinggan-Gansu ring road, also known as National Highway 315 in China, is famously referred to as the "Mars Road" or "road of death" due to its striking and inhospitable desert landscape.

The stark, otherworldly scenery of the Gobi Desert makes it emblematic of an extreme and unwelcoming terrain, capturing the imagination of those who venture along this desolate road.

Spain will request to participate in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel’s actions in Palestine’s Gaza before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the country’s Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said on June 6.

Spain is the second European nation after Ireland to join the case, which has also been joined by Chile and Mexico.

“Our sole goal is to put an end to the war and to advance on the road of applying the two-state solution,” Albares said in a press conference held in Madrid.

South Africa brought the case before the top court last year, alleging that Israel’s Gaza offensive breached the 1948 UN Genocide Convention — a charge Israel strongly denies.

In a ruling on January 26, the ICJ ordered Israel to do everything it could to prevent acts of genocide during its military operations in Gaza.

On May 24, the court ordered Israel to “immediately” halt its military offensive in the city of Rafah and keep open the key border crossing there for “unhindered” humanitarian aid.

ICJ rulings are legally binding, but the court has no concrete means to enforce them.

Happy International Tea Day!

This map shows the phenomena of the movement of tea, and what it's called around the globe. Around the world, there are mainly 2 root words for tea, 'te' and 'cha', and both of these come from China.

Where the use of ‘cha’ occurred through land trade, primarily along the Silk Road, the name ‘te’ spread through sea trade primarily by the Dutch traders who were bringing tea to Europe. Regions in the world where tea grows naturally often have their own word for tea, which has not derived from the Chinese.
