Qi Gong 氣功

Image
 When did I hear about Qi Gong first?  A long time ago... When did I participate in the first training? In the early 2010s. It was the time when I was traveling a lot, plus recently studied Psychology. First, I studied the energy ball. Source: https://longwhitecloudqigong.com/directing-energy-with-qigong/ The next time, in 2017, I took a lot of Naturopathy and Phytotherapy courses. And it contains healing from Asia as well.  If you want to start just like now, then on Udemy and the Centre of Excellence, there are a lot of good courses. One of my favourite moves is a wave movement with the energy ball.  It is really refreshing if you need to wait and stand a lot for hours, this can help in 1-2 minutes.  What is Qi Gong? A Chinese energy healing technique that has Daoist traditions. The origin can be 2146 bce.

On Amazon.de: Ramen Kochbuch : Die besten und leckersten Ramen-Rezepte aus der japanischen Küche für jeden Anlass | Inklusive Einführung, Tipps und Tricks sowie Farbfotos Taschenbuch – 5 Marts 2025 af Miyuki Ishikawa (Autor) This is a really good book with a lot of good recipes that can be done in 30-40 minutes.  When did I try out for real Ramen first time? I had eaten several different Asian meals before, but I tried Ramen a few years ago in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the KU Law faculty. There was a short period when, for lunch, a small business came with a certain amount of Ramen to the kantine, and if you were lucky, you could try it. It was really good. Why was it easy for me to accept the Ramen so fast? As in Hungary, we have one soup that is similar to Ramen. It is called Húsleves, cérnametélt tésztával. It is a chicken soup with a type of pasta that is a bit similar to the noodles. Húsleves, cérnametélt tésztával Source: https://receptmix.hu/ Nah, let's see a few Ram...

We carefully selected 12 famous shops that you should definitely try at least once if you live in Japan, and we asked them not only the most famous sweets of each shop, but also the hidden gems that are actually popular among fans.
