New Year Celebrations Across the Globe

The whole world is now preparing New Year’s celebrations, which are certainly more celebrated than Christmas, as it is not a religious commemoration. We’ve put together a bit of how it is celebrated in a few different countries.

Hong Kong Fireworks Hong Kong - China

New Year in China is not really on December 31st/January 1st, as they do not use the same calendar we do, but there are still great and beautiful celebrations

London Eye Fireworks London - United Kingdom

Although the English people are known for being more reserved, they do celebrate New Year with lots of parties, the fireworks the the London Eye are the big thing of the night!

New York New York - United States of America

New York City/Island is a place that never stops and everyone knows that, the New Year’s celebrations there are also very intense, the Statue of Liberty is a great place to see the fireworks, as seen in the picture!

Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro - Brazil

Brazil is certainly one of the country that most celebrates New Year, people there are very festive and party-like, the fireworks over there are known for being one of the biggest and most beautiful of the world.

We wish you a happy New Year!

The Truth About Work at Home

typist.jpg

 Working at home is certainly a dream many people have, simply sitting there, doing things at the comfort of their house and the best, getting paid for that. If you talk to some older people, you will see that this home jobs in the past, were mainly to put stamps on letters for big companies and get paid for each letter you stamp. But today, all this part is automated, so no one will pay you to do that.

 Than, a new term appeared, the data entry, it is most likely a typist job, you would get some content, and write it, or you get paper material, sometimes handwritten, and type it. You do not need many skills to do that, basically, you have to read, write, and type. But of course, there are typists and “typists”, if you have a good typing speed, you have a lot more chances to get some good jobs, and efficiency is the key for this kind of job, the closest to a perfect tying you get, the better positions you will get. To be good at data entry, you have to associate your typing speed with your ability to follow orders and discipline.

  People say it is easy money, but it is not, it is a job, a big different, as you can do it from home, but it is still a job. Off line data entry companies are known to be more trusted, but there are serious ones on the internet too. Some time ago, there were plenty of jobs like this available on the internet, but now, the industry is filled with scam companies, that sometimes just try to steal your time and words, and sometimes even your money. So to get a good paying position, you have to search about good and bad companies, and do not be greedy, you will get paid for what you do, it is not a get rich quick scheme.

 Finally, data entry is not a dream job, where you will get rich very quickly, but if you are really interested in making money and searching for the right opportunities, this can be a great part-time or even full-time job, a lot of people started on this business to get some extra money and ended up making a lot, you just have to want to do so, don’t be greedy, have discipline, and you’ll make a lot of money on data entry jobs, I assure you!

China raises 800-year-old sunken ship

A ship was taken from down under the sea this week in China, studies showed that it has probably sank over 800 years ago, it was a merchant ship, carrying   antique objects (oh, really?) such as porcelain and gold. It took them two hours to raise the ship as it was certainly deteriorated by the water.

It was taken from water, and it is now going back to the water, the ship will be placed in a museaum, inside a big tank, so that it looks like it is still sunk.

We have summarized this new, you can read the whole text here.

Harold and Maude (1972)

harold_and_maude_dvd_lar.gifJust trying to rescue some old treasures from the box. Harold and Maude is about the contrast between a well resolved third age, and a problematic start of adult age. The story is about the romance of an 18 years old boy, and a 79 years old lady. The first one has a melancolic life, and a strange obsession with death stuff, what means he is not really happy with his life… the second one, Maude, is in the end of her life, she likes to enjoy every little second of her existence. So, you can imagine how the movie is :) There is a book about this too, but, it was made before the movie, its not a really good one, its better to watch.

WELCOME TO HELL COLA

Hey everyone,

Hell cola is now launched, it is a new business, designed to be a long-term project managed by two friends. We decided not to go for a single niche, but for a blog about pretty much everything, our posts will be divided into the following categories: general, business, celebrities, movies, music, politics, technology, world news, if we find out a post does not belong into any of those categories, you can find it under general tab.

These categories are listed on the side bar so that you can read the posts on the niche you are interested in. Feel free to comment about the posts, to give suggestions, let us know what we can improve as this is a new venture for both of us.
Enjoy it.

Jota, Kiki
