April is the real awakening of spring. Warm weather, fresh air, bright sunshine and blooming flowers are all the reasons to get out of town and plan an outdoor trip. Ready to take advantage of the wonderful weather before crazy and hot summer? Here is some advice.

Kyoto, Japan

Once voted to be the world’ s best city by Travel+Leisure readers, Japan has more than 1000 years old history. The romance of Kyoto reaches the peak in April when the country is full of pink cherry blossoms. This picture is cherry blossoms forecast. The cherry blossoms will reach full bloom in just a week after first bloom, so don’ t miss it!

Casablanca, Morocco

April and may are all under comfortable climate before unbearable hot summer in Morocco, West Africa. Casablanca may not be as famous as Marrakesh, but it has its unique charm. With grand Hassan II Mosque and wonderful location along the coast, it provides a link between Europe and Africa. You should pay attention to the large temperature difference between day and night and the common language — Arabic, and French.

Chengdu, China

Expect Hong Kong and Shanghai, Chengdu is also the main participant in Chinese tourism industry. Yes, Chengdu is where to see cute pandas! But it’ s also a modern and prosperous city with precious Chinese cultural heritage at the same time. April makes it more pleasant to visit panda base and botanic garden. Beautiful natural landscape and super delicious hot pot must wow you and make you love this city.

The Netherlands

Spring has come to the Netherlands, and April is the peak season of the tulip. It’ s really wonderful to enjoy the flower blossoming through the countryside. There is a highlight, Keukenhof, a garden opens from March to May with 7 million flowers. Don’ t miss King’ s Day, which is a national festival honoring monarchy in April. During King’s Day, you can enjoy fantastic celebration parties and open flea markets in streets.

Copenhagen, Denmark

From May to October Hans Christian Andersen is in peak tourist season, so in contrast, April is a good chance to travel to Copenhagen. Tivoli Gardens, the second oldest amusement park in the world, will reopen seasonally. There are more than 20 adventure trails in the park, and the fairy tales of Andersen’s fairy tales can be found along the skyline.

The World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on 7 April, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as other related organizations.

World Health Day is one of eight official global health campaigns marked by WHO, along with World Tuberculosis Day, World Immunization Week, World Malaria Day, World No Tobacco Day, World AIDS Day, World Blood Donor Day, and World Hepatitis Day.

Established in 1950 this event has a theme each year to draw attention to a current world health issue. The WHO puts together regional, local, and international events on this day related to that theme. Local governments also tend to jump on this band-wagon, after all, global health means everyone! On this day you may take some extra steps to care for your health, consider getting a gym membership (and going!), starting a diet, or starting multi-vitamins!

Even better, get involved with the local events or organize one yourself! Spreading the news of health and threats to the same can be an excellent way to celebrate this holiday, and inform others of the important issue of global health. Themes throughout the years have varied, but always covered important issues of the day, covering everything from the Global Polio Eradication, staying active while aging, even road safety. All of these issues were deemed to be important enough to global health that they merited an occasion of their very own on this date.

The World Health Organization is an agency of the United Nations that focuses on the public health of the world at large. The WHO has a constitution that countries involved in the United Nations had an opportunity to sign, and unanimously did, agreeing to the tenets laid out within to promote the general health of the globe. Through its efforts we have seen the eradication of small pox, and its focus then turned to communicable diseases, with a particular focus on tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.

Everyone needs to be concerned about the health of themselves and their community, and as such it’s a good time to turn your attention to this year’s theme. By checking in at their website at http://www.who.int/campaigns/world-health-day/ you can find out what the current theme is, and find all sorts of plans and activities that will help you raise awareness about this important issue. You can keep up with it every year, and play a big part in helping to promote global health all around.

The carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist. Carrots are a domesticated form of the wild carrot, Daucus carota, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. The plant probably originated in Persia and was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. The most commonly eaten part of the plant is the taproot, although the greens are sometimes eaten as well. Read more here.

To gather your friends to a carrot party is an excellent way of celebrating the International Carrot Day. Treat them to carrots as snacks and after that a tasteful carrot cake or some other carrot dish. Recommended drink is carrot juice or carrot drinks and carrot shots.

Put retro kitsch and a touch of dandyism together and you’ll find what creative director Alessandro Michele has done for Gucci as of 2015. It is worth noting that many of Gucci’s accessories have secured spots on must-have lists of fashion magazines, including the slip-on mules that kickstarted a footwear trend, alongside bags such as the Dionysus and Marmont GG.

For Gucci’s Resort 2017 collection, he took his Anglophile tendencies to the next level, taking inspiration from the Union Jack and the ’90s club scene (read: creepers).
