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.
