    People are seen being pulled on sledges by reindeer as they race around a snowy track as part of the 420th event of its type. The long standing annual market held in Jokkmokk, Sweden, saw over 45,000 visitors to the bitterly cold region this weekend (7-9th Feb).

    Olivier Jarry-Lacombe said, "Jokkmokk is the second largest municipality in the country and yet it is also the least populated. 4900 inhabitants spread over a territory of 19500km2. b But Jokkmokk becomes every year, for a few days, the nerve center of an entire people settled in this region of the world for many millennia before the Vikings and the Scandinavians. Indeed, for more than 4 centuries, the great Sami market has been held in Jokkmokk, in the heart of Swedish Lapland. The indigenous people of Lapland come from the 4 corners of Lapland to celebrate the culture and identity of this people in temperatures that can reach -30 ° C. More than 45,000 visitors over 3 days to discover the exhibitions of artists from the community, local crafts around fabric, animal skins, bone sculpture, reindeer antlers among others, jewelry."

    "The event also offers reindeer races, religious celebrations and songs of Joik, the Sami song, are also planned during these 3 days of festivities. A community proud to wear traditional clothes in bright colors that are also included on their flag. A moment of sharing and a great opportunity to meet and discover the culture of this great people of the north. This was the 420th edition of the market this weekend in Jokkmokk, Sweden (Lapland, Scandinavia, Northern Europe)."

    People are seen being pulled on sledges by reindeer as they race around a snowy track as part of the 420th event of its type. The long standing annual market held in Jokkmokk, Sweden, saw over 45,000 visitors to the bitterly cold region this weekend (7-9th Feb).

    Olivier Jarry-Lacombe said, "Jokkmokk is the second largest municipality in the country and yet it is also the least populated. 4900 inhabitants spread over a territory of 19500km2. b But Jokkmokk becomes every year, for a few days, the nerve center of an entire people settled in this region of the world for many millennia before the Vikings and the Scandinavians. Indeed, for more than 4 centuries, the great Sami market has been held in Jokkmokk, in the heart of Swedish Lapland. The indigenous people of Lapland come from the 4 corners of Lapland to celebrate the culture and identity of this people in temperatures that can reach -30 ° C. More than 45,000 visitors over 3 days to discover the exhibitions of artists from the community, local crafts around fabric, animal skins, bone sculpture, reindeer antlers among others, jewelry."

    "The event also offers reindeer races, religious celebrations and songs of Joik, the Sami song, are also planned during these 3 days of festivities. A community proud to wear traditional clothes in bright colors that are also included on their flag. A moment of sharing and a great opportunity to meet and discover the culture of this great people of the north. This was the 420th edition of the market this weekend in Jokkmokk, Sweden (Lapland, Scandinavia, Northern Europe)."

    Chen Ruei Jin a incense's master plunges bamboo stick in a mix of water and resin in a local factory of Lai Company in Chiayi city on December 28, 2018. Recently the central government encourage to use less incense for health and ecological reasons. The potential damage to the environment and to the health of devotees from staggering levels of dangerous particles in the air is leading some temples and festivals to seek alternative -- if less spectacular -- practices, despite resistance from worshippers.

    REPORTAGE - Dames de Voyage: Sexpuppen gegen die Einsamkeit
    The origin of sex dolls dates back to the seventeenth century. They were made of sewn cloth or old clothes and used by sailors isolated in open sea for long periods.
    They were called 'Dames de voyage'
    The transition from craft production to the industrial period begins in the 1930s and early 1940s. Germany and Japan have developed these models for their submarine crews, confined in a male environment.
    In Japan, they are leased 12,000 yen (about € 90) for 90 minutes. Customers wait outside the room where the doll is. They take some pleasure into dressing it and undressing it and finally can perform with it all the fantasies of their imagination. Before, the dolls sold in Europe were rare and for the most part,  they are all commissioned by correspondence in the USA and Japan Since 2006,  in Lyon there is the 1st showroom specializing in Europe.

    The transition from craft production to the industrial period begins in the 1930s and early 1940s. Germany and Japan have developed these models for their submarine crews, confined in a male environment.
    In Japan, they are leased 12,000 yen (about € 90) for 90 minutes. Customers wait outside the room where the doll is. They take some pleasure into dressing it and undressing it and finally can perform with it all the fantasies of their imagination. Before, the dolls sold in Europe were rare and for the most part,  they are all commissioned by correspondence in the USA and Japan Since 2006,  in Lyon there is the 1st showroom specializing in Europe.
