Weekly Shot: Cool down in Florida Springs
It’s just the beginning of April…The temperature rises to 85° in Florida. To visit one of the springs will be an ideal option for the weekends! I did not do any watersports(I was filled with regrets,though) when I was there. My mind was seized by the springs. My eyes could not turn away. I was not able to escape from the beauty of water, never.
Weekly Shot: Snowy Egret in Flight
The number of birds decreases since the temperature rises up this month. Probably many of them have flown to the north.

Screenshot: The Cacao God
The Maya honored the Cacao God. Cacao was believed to be the seeds of wisdom. The drink made from it is magical. Take some when you become nervous, upset and fatigued (We all know it works^o^).
And scientifically, chocolate does make you feel love.

Maybe these old ads can bring back some memories.

As a takeaway for this film: ladies and gentlemen, don’t feel so guilty when you want to have some chocolate next time. You know, it’s human nature that we love it!

If I am the host, I will open with this: Let me introduce you to our legendary hero Chocolate from the old time to our day! It has a role in so many things you may not know. I will show you my notes(from the film).

2.Chocolate invented counterfeiting
3.Chocolate sunk the spanish empire
4.Chocolate can save the rainforest
5.Chocolate invented the weekend
6.Chocolate wins wars
7. Chocolate keeps you safe
8.Chocolate invented microwave oven
Basically, this film throws out a fresh point in every section and seeks historical facts to support it. Stories all revolve around the points above.

ERRRR…Stickyyyy…
It is a smart way to make things clear by presenting the cross section of the fruit. This illustration is very descriptive. You may have an idea of which part we normally take from the cacao fruit.
