你好, Finemakers. Taichung has become popular among tourists in recent years. We will tell you about the current state of popular tourist destinations. The entrance to Taichung, near Taichung Station, attracts many tourists [Miyahara Ophthalmology]. In the past, there was a long line to eat the popular ice cream, but now it's not necessary. The day I visited was a weekend, but I could buy it immediately. Next, head to Taichung Second Market, which is about a 10-minute walk. Since there were many locals originally, and it was during lunchtime, there was a line at the popular roast meat restaurant. Since Taiwan has become quite hot, we also recommend the cold sweets "Kobayami Umekobori" from the sweets store [Oba] outside the market.
At Finemakers, we thoroughly disinfect before and after using the vehicle and wear and disinfect the mask with the driver and the customer. For a limited time until 10/31, we will hold a mixed tour, which is usually held by bus, by sedan or wagon for each group. It is an effort that we hope to enjoy travel with peace of mind by reducing contact with other customers. There are benefits and discounts for customers who make reservations, so please pay attention to the Finemakers products on VELTRA.
Currently, the number of infected people in Croatia is continuing, but every few days, the number has fallen to 1-2 people nationwide, which is fortunately low. As of 14:00 on June 14, there are 11 patients nationwide. The Croatian government continues to maintain a physical distance of 1 m outdoors, 2 m indoors, and to wash hands and wear masks with others. From June 15th, entry from all EU countries has returned to normal. Currently, entry from Japan is scheduled to resume on July 1.
Until the week before last, it seemed that customers were paying close attention to each other at the supermarket cash register, etc., but they are returning to normal from last weekend. Few mask wearers are seen. However, the disinfectant solution is installed at the entrance of various facilities and is still used. Markets and outdoor cafes are also crowded with people, and vacationers from Western Europe are returning and are regaining bustle.
All tourism facilities (ruins, museums, parks, etc.) are open for business again. The beaches are also returning to the liveliness of people who swim and sunbathe.
In Alberta, the number of people infected with the new coronavirus has begun to rise again, with more than 60% of them found to be under the age of 40. With the resumption of economic activities, there are more opportunities to go out, and the number of positive patients is remarkable among young people in their 20s who are actively interacting at parties. The Ministry of Health once again urged people to wear masks and keep an eye on their distance.
While economic activity has resumed across Canada, and many national and state parks are crowded with hikers, there are more cases of grizzly bears and black bears waking up from hibernation. Be sure to walk with two or more people ringing a bear bell or other noisy sound, and be careful not to dispose of the food.
Daily life in Albania has returned to normal, no more curfew, everyday life is no longer controlled by police. Each one of the pandemic restrictions has been lifted. Albania’s land borders are now open for travel and there is no general requirement for travelers returning to Albania to self-quarantine. Quarantine will only apply in specific cases when ordered by health authorities. Flights in and out of Albania are currently suspended, and it is expected to reopen only in July. Tourist Attractions are reopened (public transportation and taxi services are allowed too). Bars and restaurants are open as well. Social distancing remains in effect. Malls and shops are open with social distancing guidelines in place. All sporting events, cultural events, and other large public gatherings in Albania are canceled indefinitely. Beaches connected to hotels reopened on June 1, 2020, while the general public beached opened starting from the 10th of June.
In Phuket, 0 new coronavirus infected persons are being updated for 20 or more consecutive days. The declaration of an emergency continued until June 30, but additional deregulation was implemented from June 15 to lift the nighttime curfew, and to infect almost all facilities and activities related to daily life with various infections. Resuming was permitted under conditions that would implement preventive measures.
I visited Patong Beach sand beach after a long time (see Photo 1). It has been raining since last week, but the beach is very quiet. It seems that 80% of the shops in Jungceylon, the largest shopping mall in Patong (see Photo 2) are open, but I would like to see the lively Patong Beach, which is full of tourists quickly.
