There's a spa in Japan where you can bathe in wine, coffee, tea and noodles

Image
The Yunesson Spa Resort in Japan is one of a kind, at the self-described 'spa theme park', visitors can bathe in hot tubs full of wine. Vinotherapy as it is called was a practice first adopted in ancient times, supposedly by the Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra. It is said to be relaxing and possesses anti-ageing properties and the Yunesson Spa Resort believes that swimming through red wine actually has rejuvenating benefits. If vinotherapy is not to your taste, there are a number of similarly unorthodox baths to choose from including coffee, sake, green tea and even ramen noodle hot tubs, all of which have different health benefits. The sweet treat is available for only twelve days a year.

Vladimir Putin grants Russian citizenship to American actor, Steven Seagal

Image
After several visit to World’s largest nation, American actor, Steven Seagal has been granted Russian citizenship by President Vladimir Putin. A wish he has been craving for years. Speaking with reporters yesterday, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the announcement saying: ‘This was his desire, he had really applied. He had been really persistent for a long time and been asking to grant him citizenship, he is actually renowned for his quite warm feelings toward our country and he's also a well-known actor, which gave grounds to make him a Russian citizen.’ Meanwhile, it wasn’t a big for the actor to be made a citizen of Russia; the pair has been bromancing each other for quite a long time after they reportedly attended several martial-arts events together in Russia and visited an academy there in 2013. In 2015, the actor also attended the Victory Day parade held in Red Square to mark the 70th anniversary of Russia's victory over Nazi Germany.

Pope Francis says countries shouldn't take in more refugees than they can accommodate

Image
On a flight back to Rome from Sweden, pope Francis was asked about Europe's migrant crisis and he said that even though countries shouldn't  'close their hearts' to those in need, they should be careful not to overstretch themselves. He told reporters: 'Governments must be open to receive them, but also do the calculations regarding their reception (capabilities), because one must not only receive a refugee but also integrate them. 'Because so many are arriving That there is no time to make provision for them and that they can find schools, homes, employment, and learn the language. Prudence has to make this calculation.'  He also said that it poses a dangerous situation if the migrants are not integrated into their host communities. He added: 'What is the danger when a refugee or migrant is not integrated? He is ghettoized, that is, he enters a ghetto. And a culture that does not develop in relation with another culture, that is dangerous.'
