bride&rsquo;s appearance and Jeff Bezos&rsquo;s &ldquo;unusual taste&rdquo; in choosing a wife, few have paused to view their love with respect. Are we judging happiness through appearances, forgetting that love&mdash;especially at a certain age&mdash;comes from empathy, understanding, and deep connection, not just physical beauty or social standards?<\/p>\n","content":"The &ldquo;wedding of the century&rdquo; between American billionaire Jeff Bezos and former news anchor Lauren S&aacute;nchez is not only a lavish event that captured global attention but also a clear reflection of how modern society reacts to the love lives of public figures. Across social media, thousands of contrasting opinions have poured in. Most revolve around the bride&rsquo;s appearance&mdash;often harshly compared to conventional standards&mdash;and some even poke fun at the &ldquo;unusual taste&rdquo; of the billionaire groom. Many wonder why a man as powerful, wealthy, and well-known as Jeff Bezos would choose someone like Lauren S&aacute;nchez, who doesn&rsquo;t fit many people&rsquo;s stereotypical idea of beauty, who is not young, and who has gone through a previous marriage. But maybe this is the moment we should ask ourselves: whose eyes are we seeing through? And why do we feel entitled to judge someone else&rsquo;s choice?<\/p>\n\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/IMG_2476.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n\nGerman philosopher Immanuel Kant once said, &ldquo;Beauty is not in the rosy cheeks of the maiden, but in the eyes of the beholder.&rdquo;&mdash;a statement that still holds true through centuries, for every couple in the world, no matter their fame or fortune. Love is not a beauty contest, nor is it a mathematical equation to weigh factors like age, looks, past relationships, or social status. True love is something felt deeply by the heart. It draws us to another person for reasons that are often deeply personal, often unexplainable by logic.<\/p>\n\nIn the case of Jeff Bezos and Lauren S&aacute;nchez, both individuals have gone through significant life experiences. They have basked in the glow of success, endured the wounds of previous marriages, and faced the emotional highs and lows of life. As we age, we no longer choose life partners for superficial reasons. We look for empathy, for understanding, and for the quiet strength of someone who makes us feel safe&mdash;someone who truly gets us. Perhaps Lauren reached a place in Jeff&rsquo;s heart that no one else could, and that, in itself, is enough to validate their love.<\/p>\n\nWhat&rsquo;s unfortunate is that, while the couple celebrates their love through a highly personal and symbolically rich wedding, the public focuses on irrelevant details. People obsess over the bride&rsquo;s appearance or debate Bezos&rsquo; &ldquo;taste&rdquo; in partners, forgetting the fundamental principle of respecting someone else&rsquo;s happiness. Whether rich or poor, famous or not, everyone deserves to love and be loved, to choose freely without scrutiny.<\/p>\n\nFew people notice that the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren S&aacute;nchez goes beyond a personal celebration&mdash;it also delivers a broader message about wealth and social contribution. In recent years, Bezos has not only invested in space exploration through Blue Origin but has also dedicated billions to philanthropy, environmental causes, and education. S&aacute;nchez is also actively involved in media and charitable work. Behind this couple is a larger ecosystem of value creation, job opportunities, technological advancements, and meaningful social impact. If we focus only on their faces or designer outfits, we miss the humanistic and inspiring aspect of their journey.<\/p>\n\nWe often lament why our lives aren&rsquo;t as beautiful or fulfilling as others&rsquo;. But have we ever asked: are we truly seeing the beauty in our own lives? Or are we too busy fixating on what we lack, constantly comparing, and letting envy blind us? Happiness doesn&rsquo;t come from comparison&mdash;it comes from gratitude, self-awareness, and the ability to invest in personal growth. Instead of judging others&rsquo; choices, why not spend more time becoming the kind of person who knows how to love, understand, and respect both self and others?<\/p>\n\nLove is a journey, and no one knows the destination in advance. But what makes that journey meaningful and lasting is sincerity, connection, and mutual respect. In a world where everything is digitized and judgment is instant, for two people to love each other, to get married, to choose one another despite what the world may say&mdash;that takes courage. Perhaps, instead of criticizing a billionaire&rsquo;s choice in love, we should admire their bravery.<\/p>\n\nUltimately, what makes life worth living isn&rsquo;t how many people approve of us, but whether we have the courage to live true to our hearts. And maybe, when we begin to see life through the lens of empathy, everything starts to change&mdash;including how we love, choose, and find happiness in ourselves.<\/p>\n\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","image_url":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/IMG_2476.jpeg?t=1750904629","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/thumb_files\/IMG_2476.jpeg?t=1764547972","tags":["When love transcends all social norms","what remains is understanding and the choice of the heart."],"count_view":460,"seo_name":"when-love-defies-standards-reflections-on-jeff-bezos-and-lauren-sanchezs-wedding","date_update":1750908213,"date_created_format":1750905478,"meta_title":"","meta_desc":"","meta_keyword":"","qr_code":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/when-love-defies-standards-reflections-on-jeff-bezos-and-lauren-sanchezs-wedding"},{"id":706685,"name":"From Full to Fulfilled – A New Perspective on Buffet Dining","desc":"Once a race to &ldquo;get your money&rsquo;s worth,&rdquo; the buffet has become, for me, a way to experience life &mdash; not just through food, but through people, atmosphere, and the beauty of choosing how we want to enjoy a moment. No longer a plate stacked high, buffet dining now offers quiet space to observe others, savor flavors, and feel quietly complete.<\/p>\n","content":"There was a time when just hearing the word &ldquo;buffet&rdquo; would make my heart race. Back in my younger years, buffet meant excitement, abundance, and the freedom to eat everything I craved &mdash; all in one go. The idea of walking around tables overflowing with lobster, abalone, crab, and salmon felt like stepping into a treasure hunt. Friends would pass along tips: &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t waste time on potatoes, corn, or stir-fried vegetables &mdash; go for the expensive stuff!&rdquo; Buffet was a numbers game &mdash; how much value could you extract from the price?<\/p>\n\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/c7968868ac310945579d2dc017f45f0c.jpeg\" \/>Xu&acirc;n An<\/p>\n\nI used to be really good at this game. I knew what to pick first, how to pace myself so I wouldn&rsquo;t get full too soon, and felt proud when my plate looked like a carefully engineered mountain of premium items. By the end, I&rsquo;d be exhausted, my stomach overstuffed, but I&rsquo;d feel satisfied &mdash; not from the food, but from thinking I&rsquo;d &ldquo;won&rdquo; the meal.<\/p>\n\nBut over time, things changed. These days, when I walk into a buffet restaurant, I still feel excited &mdash; but it&rsquo;s a different kind of anticipation. I&rsquo;m no longer chasing calories or value. I&rsquo;m here for the atmosphere, the experience, the people. Buffet, to me now, feels like a gentle gathering &mdash; refined but not rigid, elegant yet warm. It&rsquo;s an opportunity to observe, connect, and feel alive in a space where everyone is enjoying life in their own way.<\/p>\n\nI enjoy strolling between food stations at a slower pace, like browsing a thoughtfully curated market. I notice the details: how a slice of salmon sashimi is delicately placed on ice, how sushi rolls are shaped with care, how the desserts are arranged like tiny edible sculptures. These dishes are no longer just things to consume &mdash; they&rsquo;re little pieces of someone&rsquo;s craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\nI usually start with a small bowl of soup or a bit of salad &mdash; ironically, the very items I used to avoid. But now, they feel like a gentle invitation to begin, a way to prepare my palate and ease into the experience. I eat slowly, chew mindfully, and find joy in just a few well-chosen bites. I don&rsquo;t try to taste everything. I choose what feels right &mdash; and stop when I&rsquo;ve had enough.<\/p>\n\nThe buffet ambiance on a weekend evening has its own quiet charm. There&rsquo;s the soft hum of conversations, the clinking of cutlery, the glow of warm lighting over dishes and faces. I see servers moving quietly and professionally, refilling glasses, straightening napkins, keeping the rhythm of the evening in balance. The whole space feels alive, yet calm.<\/p>\n\nAnd then there are the children. I love watching them stand in front of dessert counters, eyes wide with wonder. Some hesitate before picking a colorful cake, others point excitedly at the cotton candy machine. These little humans remind me of myself years ago &mdash; full of hope, believing the world is generous and beautiful. For them, buffet isn&rsquo;t just food &mdash; it&rsquo;s a preview of a future they imagine to be abundant and bright. I often wonder: could it be that buffet is one of the first places children feel what prosperity looks like?<\/p>\n\nSometimes I notice older couples sitting quietly, sipping hot tea, not eating much, just enjoying the company of one another. Other times, I see solo diners &mdash; choosing their food with care, then sitting alone in a comfortable silence. Everyone seems to carry a different story, a different purpose for being there. For some, it&rsquo;s a family celebration; for others, a quiet treat for themselves. Each plate reflects not just taste, but a moment in life.<\/p>\n\nI no longer measure a buffet by how much I eat, but by how free I feel. A simple dish, a cool drink, a peaceful evening &mdash; sometimes that&rsquo;s enough to feel full in the truest sense.

It starts the moment we step into the airport, sit down with a cup of coffee, watch the planes taxi across the runway, and talk about dreams we&rsquo;ve yet to chase. No rush, no concern for prices or taste &ndash; just the simple joy of being present together, soaking in the atmosphere. Those few hours at the gate often become the most meaningful part of our journey.<\/p>\n","content":"My husband and I have a habit of arriving at the airport four hours before our flight. To many people, that might sound excessive. But for us, it&rsquo;s an important part of the journey. It&rsquo;s not just about avoiding last-minute hiccups &ndash; it&rsquo;s about slowing down and experiencing the moment, together.<\/p>\n\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/IMG_2291.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n\nAfter check-in, we usually find a quiet spot at a caf&eacute; by the windows overlooking the runway. From there, we can see planes lining up, taking off, or gently landing. Hundreds of people on each plane, each carrying their own stories. Sometimes we just sit in silence, watching. Other times we share memories of past trips or talk about places we still want to see. These conversations don&rsquo;t need a purpose or a plan &mdash; they simply unfold, and that&rsquo;s what makes them real.<\/p>\n\nWe&rsquo;ll eventually order something to eat. It doesn&rsquo;t have to be fancy or even our favorite. What matters is that we sit down together without distractions. No phones, no rush. Just us, sharing a simple meal and being present. Whether it&rsquo;s a bowl of noodles or a slice of cake, food at the airport becomes more than a meal &ndash; it&rsquo;s a quiet ritual.<\/p>\n\nWe like wandering through duty-free shops. Not necessarily to buy anything, but just to look around and enjoy. A quick spritz of Chanel perfume brings back memories of Paris. A shelf of chocolates makes us dream of Belgium. Display cases of Swiss watches spark visions of a slower, tidier life. And always, before we leave Vietnam, we try to have a hot bowl of pho or a plate of broken rice with fish sauce &ndash; a little taste of home to carry with us.<\/p>\n\nIn these in-between moments, we talk about dreams &ndash; shared ones, personal ones, old ones that never left. With no meetings or calls pulling us away, the conversations flow easier. We don&rsquo;t always talk about big things. Sometimes it&rsquo;s just an &ldquo;I remember when,&rdquo; or &ldquo;one day, let&rsquo;s&hellip;&rdquo; And sometimes, there&rsquo;s no need for words at all.<\/p>\n\nTo many people, airports feel hectic and tiring. For us, they&rsquo;re a pause. A brief moment to catch our breath before the next chapter begins. We don&rsquo;t need anything special to happen. Just being there together, with time and space to feel present, is enough.<\/p>\n\nI&rsquo;ve come to love this habit of ours. It reminds me how precious it is to move through time slowly, even when the world is moving fast around us. We sit, observe, and gently step into the new &ndash; not rushed, but aware.<\/p>\n\nPeople often ask, &ldquo;Why go so early?&rdquo; But we&rsquo;re not trying to be early. We&rsquo;re trying to be whole. To feel the start of the journey, not just arrive at the destination. These quiet hours help us leave behind the clutter of everyday life and step into travel with a clear mind and light heart.<\/p>\n\nFor us, the trip doesn&rsquo;t start when the plane takes off. It starts the moment we walk into the airport. From the security check to the departure lounge, from the window seat to the last sip of coffee before boarding &ndash; this is where the journey truly begins.<\/p>\n\nIn that space of waiting, we reconnect, reflect, and recharge. And maybe that&rsquo;s what makes each journey feel a little more complete.<\/p>\n","image_url":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/IMG_2291.jpeg?t=1750380785","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/thumb_files\/IMG_2291.jpeg?t=1764547972","tags":["It’s not the destination","but the quiet hours at the airport that make the journey memorable."],"count_view":369,"seo_name":"the-airport-where-every-journey-begins-in-quiet-togetherness","date_update":1750380766,"date_created_format":1750381220,"meta_title":"","meta_desc":"","meta_keyword":"","qr_code":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/the-airport-where-every-journey-begins-in-quiet-togetherness"},{"id":706250,"name":"Hiểu đúng về rau củ quả organic: Không chỉ là không thuốc trừ sâu","desc":"Nhiều người vẫn nhầm tưởng rằng rau củ quả organic chỉ đơn giản l&agrave; rau kh&ocirc;ng phun thuốc, trồng tự nhi&ecirc;n ở qu&ecirc;, hoặc nh&agrave; trồng kh&ocirc;ng h&oacute;a chất.

This article explores how the series uses provocative scenes to delve into the dynamics of power, trust, and intimacy in a high-stakes, high-pressure world.<\/p>\n","content":"Among contemporary American television dramas, Billions is not merely a show about finance or law. It has become a cultural touchstone for its sharp interplay between power games, ethical ambiguity, and psychological depth. One of the series&rsquo; most provocative and talked-about storylines is the intimate dynamic between Wendy Rhoades and Chuck Rhoades. Their BDSM scenes are not included for shock value, but as a purposeful artistic device to explore hidden facets of human psychology and the nuanced mechanisms of control, vulnerability, and connection.<\/p>\n\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/IMG_2220.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n\nWendy is a top-tier performance coach and in-house psychologist at the hedge fund Axe Capital &mdash; a high-stakes environment brimming with ambition and moral compromise. Chuck is a federal prosecutor, ostensibly a guardian of justice, yet equally ambitious and politically savvy. Professionally, both command immense authority and emotional composure. But behind closed doors, their dynamic reverses completely: Chuck submits, and Wendy dominates. The ropes, the heels, the commands &mdash; these are not gratuitous kinks, but ritualized explorations of emotional safety and release.<\/p>\n\nTo many viewers, BDSM might immediately evoke notions of deviance or violence. But in Billions, these scenes are crafted with intention &mdash; at once raw and restrained. They don&rsquo;t titillate; they reveal. Chuck doesn&rsquo;t seek pain for pleasure&rsquo;s sake; he seeks surrender. As a man constantly navigating brutal legal and political warfare, he craves a space where he can relinquish control without consequence. That space is Wendy.<\/p>\n\nTrust is the foundation of every genuine BDSM relationship, and between Wendy and Chuck, it is nearly absolute. To allow someone to tie you up, hurt you, and command you &mdash; even symbolically &mdash; is an act of deep emotional faith. Chuck, in those moments, sheds the armor of power. He becomes a human being, defenseless yet finally able to breathe. It is a rare and paradoxical form of liberation.<\/p>\n\nWendy, on the other hand, is not a sadist, nor simply a dominatrix in the conventional sense. In the hyper-masculine, high-performance world of finance, she must maintain constant strength and composure. Her role as a dominant in the bedroom is not just an assertion of power &mdash; it&rsquo;s a reclamation of her emotional agency. Her dominance is precise, therapeutic, almost tender. She doesn&rsquo;t punish Chuck out of anger &mdash; she guides him through submission as a way of grounding both herself and him.<\/p>\n\nFrom a cinematic standpoint, these scenes are executed with artistic discipline. The camera doesn&rsquo;t fetishize the body; it lingers on eyes, breath, silence. The lighting is muted, the colors cool, the shots tightly framed. The direction avoids voyeurism and instead creates an emotional space &mdash; intimate, private, tense. The sound design is deliberate, the dialogue minimal, and the result is a kind of cinematic intimacy that feels more like psychological excavation than erotic spectacle.<\/p>\n\nWhat&rsquo;s striking is that the show neither glamorizes nor condemns BDSM. Billions presents it as one of many human coping mechanisms &mdash; one that, when based on consent, understanding, and mutual care, can be profoundly healing. Their private agreements and rules stand in stark contrast to the public manipulation and coercion that define their professional lives. In many ways, Wendy and Chuck&rsquo;s BDSM relationship is the only realm where consent is explicit and sacred.<\/p>\n\nYet their intimacy is not immune to collapse. When Chuck&rsquo;s private life becomes political leverage, and their secret dynamic is exposed to the world, the safety of that shared space crumbles. Wendy is devastated not by the acts they engaged in, but by the betrayal of their emotional covenant. She feels unprotected. The violation wasn&rsquo;t physical &mdash; it was psychological. And it wasn&rsquo;t about kink &mdash; it was about trust.<\/p>\n\nThat rupture underscores a painful truth: real intimacy is not physical proximity, but the ability to preserve a sacred emotional space for another person. In this context, BDSM is not about domination &mdash; it&rsquo;s about dialogue. It&rsquo;s a non-verbal language that reveals the fears, limits, and longings of those who engage in it. When the space for that dialogue is no longer safe, love becomes fragile.<\/p>\n\nBillions may be a show about money, ambition, and power. But beneath its hard edges lies a meditation on human connection. Every character wears a mask to survive, and few know how &mdash; or where &mdash; to take it off. For Wendy and Chuck, the ritual of BDSM was that place. Their scenes were not just bold television; they were a cinematic expression of emotional need. Theirs is a love story told not in grand romantic gestures, but in vulnerability, submission, and trust.<\/p>\n\nIn a world where power is currency, and intimacy is dangerous, Billions dares to suggest that even the most controlled among us long for surrender &mdash; not to another&rsquo;s will, but to the possibility of being fully seen, and still accepted.<\/p>\n","image_url":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/IMG_2220.jpeg?t=1750124626","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/thumb_files\/IMG_2220.jpeg?t=1764547972","tags":["BDSM is not just about sex — it’s a language of power","trust","and identity in Billions."],"count_view":728,"seo_name":"bdsm-power-and-human-nature-the-psychological-and-cinematic-layers-of-wendy-and-chucks-relationship-in-billions","date_update":1750124612,"date_created_format":1750124838,"meta_title":"","meta_desc":"","meta_keyword":"","qr_code":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/bdsm-power-and-human-nature-the-psychological-and-cinematic-layers-of-wendy-and-chucks-relationship-in-billions"}]},"widget_13926607":{"content_data":{"content":"ĐĂNG KÝ NHẬN TIN\n\n\n"}},"widget_13926608":{"content_data":{"content":"CHÚNG TÔI LÀ NHỮNG GÌ BẠN CẦN!

I used to be the same&mdash;until I learned that understanding the flow matters far more than counting the money.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/0FFBC8E9-9726-4056-9FAD-7DB0982144F6.png\" \/><\/p>\n\nThere is something I&rsquo;ve realized after talking to many people: most of them discuss money, but very few ever think about cash flow. They talk about income, profits and losses, the money earned today and the money gone tomorrow. But when I ask, &ldquo;How does your cash flow actually move?&rdquo;, almost everyone hesitates. I used to be just like them&mdash;counting every amount gained or lost, instead of observing how the financial currents in my life were really flowing.<\/p>\n\nMoney is a point; cash flow is the line. Many people stare at the points and forget that the line is what forms the shape. Someone may have a high income but still feel financially suffocated if their cash flow is blocked. Meanwhile, a person with a modest income but a smooth, intentional financial flow can build stability and accumulate wealth over time. It sounds simple, but to truly understand it, you have to look at your own life: where the money comes from, whether it&rsquo;s steady or sporadic, where it goes, what emotional state it leaves you in, and whether whatever remains continues to grow or simply sits still.<\/p>\n\nThere was a time when money came in every month, yet I constantly felt short. I assumed it meant I wasn&rsquo;t earning enough. Only much later did I realize the issue wasn&rsquo;t the amount&mdash;it was the stagnation. My cash flow wasn&rsquo;t &ldquo;flowing&rdquo;; it was &ldquo;pooling.&rdquo; Many expenses didn&rsquo;t create any value, many savings were idle with no growth, and many financial decisions were driven by fear: fear of lacking, fear of losing, fear of falling behind. When money stops at fear, its flow stops too.<\/p>\n\nCash flow becomes healthy when you understand two things: it must be steady, and it must have direction. Irregular cash flow puts your mind in constant alarm mode, and aimless cash flow leads to spending on things that feel important but hold no long-term value. What changed me most was learning to ask every amount going in or out: Does this move me forward? Does it create a new cycle of growth? Is it simply a cost, or is it an investment in my future?<\/p>\n\nUnblocking cash flow is not a matter of earning more, but reorganizing how money operates in your life. Some people earn a lot yet let their flow be weighed down by wasteful spending or thoughtless hoarding. Others earn just enough but design a smart flow that keeps money circulating and multiplying. For me, the most transformative decisions were not the moments I earned more, but the moments I stopped the things that made my flow heavy and stagnant.<\/p>\n\nI also learned that cash flow reflects our emotional state. When we feel insecure, the flow contracts. When we feel confident, it expands. When our mind is clear, the flow becomes smoother. Money is never just a financial subject; it is emotional, psychological, and deeply tied to how we define &ldquo;enough.&rdquo; So instead of asking people how much they make, maybe the better question is: &ldquo;Where is your cash flow heading?&rdquo;<\/p>\n\nI wrote this as a personal reflection&mdash;not to provide formulas, but to share what I learned when I stopped chasing amounts and started observing currents. When you understand the flow, you don&rsquo;t just spend money; you design your financial life. And ultimately, the real shift for me wasn&rsquo;t earning more, but realizing that money must move&mdash;and that I am the one who decides how it moves.<\/p>\n\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","image_url":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/0FFBC8E9-9726-4056-9FAD-7DB0982144F6.png?t=1764547942","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/thumb_files\/0FFBC8E9-9726-4056-9FAD-7DB0982144F6.png?t=1764547972","tags":["Redesigning your financial life by understanding how money truly flows."],"count_view":174,"seo_name":"money-and-cash-flow","date_update":1764547455,"date_created_format":1764547990,"meta_title":"A Personal Reflection on How Financial Currents Shape Our Lives","meta_desc":"","meta_keyword":"","qr_code":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/money-and-cash-flow"},{"id":718425,"name":"European Cheese Workshop from France – Chef Olivier Corti’s “Palate in Your Hand” in Saigon","desc":"On the afternoon of 2 October 2025, at Tastemaker Hub in Phu My Hung, Ho Chi Minh City, French chef Olivier Corti &ndash; owner of Le Comptoir in Da Nang &ndash; flew in to host a workshop that brought the world of French cheese to life.

With five &ldquo;families&rdquo; of cheese likened to the five fingers of a hand, and the &ldquo;palm&rdquo; as the meeting point of flavours, participants discovered a map of taste both vivid and memorable.<\/p>\n\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/IMG_4638.jpeg\" \/>Chef Olivier Corti is introducing the history and culture of French cheese. (Kim Thanh)<\/em><\/p>\n\nOn 2 October, Tastemaker Hub transformed into a &ldquo;classroom of flavours&rdquo; as Olivier Corti recounted stories of cheese as though recalling an old friend. He began with a playful comparison: the taste of cheese in France is as layered and regional as Vietnam&rsquo;s fish sauce &ndash; both hold centuries of history and countless variations depending on locality. From the Middle Ages, French monasteries cultivated and preserved recipes, spreading them across valleys, mountains and coastal lands. The differences in soil and climate &ndash; what the French call terroir &ndash; gave each region its own cheese personality, producing today a dazzling wealth of varieties.<\/p>\n\nCorti summed up the world of French cheese into five &ldquo;great families&rdquo; &ndash; a vivid way to imagine them as the five fingers of a hand. In the &ldquo;palm&rdquo; rests the memory of fresh cheese: soft, moist, mild, consumed almost immediately after production. On the thumb sit the soft cheeses with bloomy rinds, such as Brie or Camembert, cloaked in their white velvet coats of Penicillium mould. The second finger holds the semi-hard cheeses, pressed to remove moisture but still supple, creamy and sliceable, such as Tomme de Savoie or Morbier. The third finger represents the hard, pressed cheeses &ndash; matured longer, dense in texture and complex in flavour &ndash; Comt&eacute;, Emmental, Mimolette. The fourth belongs to the washed-rind cheeses, with orange or reddish skins, pungent aromas from regular washing in brine or spirits &ndash; Munster, &Eacute;poisses. Finally, the little finger bears the blue cheeses, veined with Penicillium roqueforti, salty, bold, and aromatic &ndash; Roquefort, Bleu d&rsquo;Auvergne. Thanks to Corti&rsquo;s rich metaphors, even newcomers found themselves holding a &ldquo;map&rdquo; of this world without losing their way.<\/p>\n\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/IMG_4635.jpeg\" \/>A cheeseboard for 10 guests prepared by Chef Olivier Corti at the workshop. (Kim Thanh)<\/em><\/p>\n\nThe tasting then turned to what Corti called the &ldquo;personality study&rdquo; of cheese. Brie is seductive and refined; its white rind like a silk gown, its paste buttery, creamy, with hints of fresh mushroom. Mimolette is mysterious and unique, its burnt orange flesh reminiscent of the moon, dense and nutty with a whisper of caramel. Bleu d&rsquo;Auvergne is bold and brave, salty, spicy, leaving a powerful aftertaste. Emmental is cheerful and engaging, its signature holes like open laughter, its flavour milky and nutty, always approachable. Comt&eacute; is patient and trustworthy &ndash; the longer it matures, the more it reveals layers of almond, dried grass, and ripe fruit. Through such characterisations, participants could easily find the &ldquo;friend&rdquo; that suited their taste.<\/p>\n\nPairing with wine was the workshop&rsquo;s most memorable highlight. Brie, Corti suggested, shines with Champagne or Chardonnay, the bubbles and acidity lifting its creaminess into elegance. Mimolette couples with Bordeaux or a Rh&ocirc;ne Syrah, where tannins frame its firmness and depth. Bleu d&rsquo;Auvergne blossoms alongside a sweet Sauternes or late harvest wine: salt and sweetness converse, while spice is softened by notes of honey, peach and apricot. Emmental plays happily with a Sauvignon Blanc or young Riesling, their crisp acidity brightening its milk and nut tones. Comt&eacute; remains faithful to a delicate Pinot Noir or a white wine from Jura &ndash; even Vin Jaune for the adventurous &ndash; where umami and nuttiness find companionship in red fruit and almonds. The rule of thumb: soft and delicate cheeses love white wine or Champagne; strong and salty ones marry with sweet wine; firm and nutty cheeses are best with light reds or structured whites. Above all, Corti warned, never pair heavy tannic reds indiscriminately &ndash; they crush the subtleties of cheese.<\/p>\n\nBeyond wine, the workshop ventured into condiments &ndash; fruit, nuts, jams. The principle: balance, not dominance. Blue cheese thrives with wild honey, pear or fig preserves, the fruit sugar tempering salt and spice. Brie finds harmony with woodland berry compote or apricot jam with gentle acidity. Emmental is easy-going: baked apples with cinnamon, grape jelly &ndash; all agreeable. Comt&eacute; pairs beautifully with onion chutney, fig or dried apricot, while Mimolette dances with quince paste (p&acirc;te de coing). Overly sugary, artificial jams or strong flavourings, however, overwhelm and flatten the cheese. If sweetness goes astray, rescue comes with a slice of fresh apple or a sip of crisp white wine.<\/p>\n\nPresentation was another French ritual Corti underlined. A cheeseboard should always feature an odd number &ndash; 3, 5, or 7 &ndash; to give rhythm to both eye and palate, avoiding dull symmetry. Arrangement may follow a clockwise path, from mild to strong, from soft to firm, with each cut preserving rind, body and core to balance flavour. Some prefer to centre a powerful cheese, with milder ones fanning outward. Storage too demands care: cheese should be wrapped in waxy paper with a thin film, kept in the vegetable drawer at 3&ndash;5&deg;C. For serving, remove 30&ndash;45 minutes beforehand, accompany with thin slices of baguette or country bread, avoid sweet biscuits. A handful of walnuts, almonds, seasonal fruit and a small bowl of honey complete the stage for taste to perform.<\/p>\n\nCorti also revealed a glimpse of the backstage craft: milk choice &ndash; cow, goat, sheep &ndash; sets the foundation. Fermentation and rennet curdle the milk, curd is cut, stirred, heated or pressed to fix texture, then the magic of ageing begins. White rinds are nurtured by friendly moulds, washed rinds by ritual cleansing, blue cheeses by veins of mould and deliberate airflow, hard cheeses by patience itself. By the end of the afternoon, each participant left with a framework to decode labels and shop confidently for their own cheeseboard.<\/p>\n\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/IMG_4637.jpeg\" \/>The author&rsquo;s cheeseboard at the 2 October workshop at Tastemaker Hub (Phu My Hung, Ho Chi Minh City).<\/em><\/p>\n\nWhat was striking was how the universe of French cheese suddenly felt within reach in Saigon. A chef who runs Le Comptoir in Da Nang flying in to teach meant that recipes and stories stepped out of a single restaurant to meet a community of food lovers. The spirit of France was not only in wine and cheese, but also in slowing down: to look, smell, touch, taste, and remember &ndash; just as Corti&rsquo;s &ldquo;palate in your hand&rdquo; metaphor suggested.<\/p>\n\nAs the sun set over Phu My Hung, slices of Brie, Emmental or Bleu d&rsquo;Auvergne on the final board closed a fulfilling workshop. Attendees left with a few pairings &ldquo;in the palm of the hand&rdquo;: Brie&ndash;Champagne to begin, Comt&eacute;&ndash;Pinot Noir to linger, Blue&ndash;Sauternes to conclude. Alongside came one simple reminder about cheeseboards: always choose odd numbers, arrange by flavour, and let fruit, jam and wine elevate, not overpower. From a few hours on a Saigon afternoon, the map of French cheese now rests quite literally in the palm of the hand.<\/p>\n","image_url":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/IMG_4638.jpeg?t=1759453032","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/thumb_files\/IMG_4638.jpeg?t=1764547972","tags":["From Brie to Blue – a journey across the French terroir."],"count_view":300,"seo_name":"european-cheese-workshop-from-france-chef-olivier-cortis-palate-in-your-hand-in-saigon","date_update":1759453283,"date_created_format":1759887279,"meta_title":"","meta_desc":"","meta_keyword":"","qr_code":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/european-cheese-workshop-from-france-chef-olivier-cortis-palate-in-your-hand-in-saigon"},{"id":718172,"name":"The Box Market – When Commerce Becomes a Cultural Bridge for Heritage","desc":"Behind the century-old Central Post Office &mdash; one of Saigon&rsquo;s most iconic landmarks &mdash; a small commercial space called The Box Market has recently opened, sparking lively debate.

Between fears of &ldquo;commercializing heritage&rdquo; and hopes of reviving a forgotten historical site, a question emerges: can commerce and culture coexist, or even complement each other to help the past live on in today&rsquo;s urban rhythm?<\/em><\/p>\n\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/IMG_4659.jpeg\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n\nThe GPO Building in Melbourne, once the city&rsquo;s historic General Post Office, has undergone a successful process of adaptive reuse to become a vibrant retail space.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n \nBehind the Central Post Office, right next to the Book Street, a new commercial area called The Box Market has just opened, drawing significant public attention. Many cultural researchers and Saigon lovers express concern that this project might diminish the historical and cultural integrity of a century-old landmark. Yet, from another perspective, if planned with care and vision, this could be a bold move &mdash; an effort to breathe new life into heritage, allowing more people to access, connect with, and appreciate this historical space.<\/p>\n\nA heritage site only truly lives when people come, interact, and bring their daily life into it. For years, the Central Post Office has remained one of Saigon&rsquo;s most beloved symbols, yet its rear courtyard has been largely neglected &mdash; underused, worn down, and lacking basic amenities. Tourists often stop only briefly to take photos before leaving, though the area could easily become a vibrant cultural&ndash;commercial space linking the Post Office and the Book Street into one cohesive, lively district. Thus, the opening of The Box Market, if done thoughtfully, could be the key to reviving this historical complex &mdash; not just preserving it in memory, but making it part of Saigon&rsquo;s living culture again.<\/p>\n\nConcerns about &ldquo;commercializing&rdquo; heritage are not unfounded. But commerce is not necessarily the enemy of culture. In cities rich in history such as Madrid, Galle, or Glasgow, the adaptive reuse of old structures into spaces for commerce, gastronomy, and art has been remarkably successful &mdash; creating new symbols of urban identity. The Mercado de San Miguel in Madrid, for instance, is a restored iron-and-glass market from over a century ago that now serves as a culinary landmark attracting visitors worldwide. The Old Dutch Hospital in Galle, Sri Lanka &mdash; once a colonial-era hospital &mdash; has been transformed into a shopping and dining precinct while keeping its stone walls, tiled roofs, and timber corridors intact. In Poland, the Manufaktura textile factory complex from the 19th century has been reborn as a cultural and commercial hub, preserving its signature red-brick fa&ccedil;ades. And in Glasgow, the 19th-century Princes Square was covered with a transparent glass roof, turning it into a modern retail center while retaining its classical exterior.<\/p>\n\nA particularly relevant example can be found in Australia. The GPO Building in Melbourne, once the city&rsquo;s historic General Post Office, has undergone a successful process of adaptive reuse to become a vibrant retail space. The fashion brand H&amp;M now occupies part of the building&rsquo;s fa&ccedil;ade and main floor, while the original architecture and fa&ccedil;ade have been meticulously preserved, maintaining the integrity and grandeur of the structure. This transformation demonstrates that when commercial development respects the architectural essence of a heritage site, the result can be both economically viable and culturally enriching.<\/p>\n\nThese examples show that when done with respect and intention, commerce can become a bridge between the past and the present. Commerce does not destroy heritage &mdash; disrespect does. The real question is not what is being sold, but how it is sold, how the space is preserved, and what attitude people bring into it.<\/p>\n\nFor The Box Market, what matters most is to preserve the original structure of the area behind the Post Office &mdash; never altering its form, tearing down walls, or expanding the historic framework. The first priority should be restoration and care: repaint faded walls, fix leaks, repave the ground, add greenery, lighting, and consistent signage. Another seemingly small but crucial detail is the public restroom system &mdash; it should be upgraded to be clean, fragrant, and welcoming. When these basic comforts are met, visitors will naturally stay longer, explore deeper, and connect more authentically with the historic space.<\/p>\n\nIf commerce here is curated with taste &mdash; prioritizing handicrafts, cultural products, art, local cuisine, or Vietnamese gifts &mdash; The Box Market can become a platform for cultural expression rather than a threat to it. After all, markets have always been part of culture: places where people exchange not only goods, but also memories, stories, flavors, and traditions. A small market beside Saigon&rsquo;s Post Office could be a place where visitors buy a handmade souvenir, listen to live acoustic music on a weekend afternoon, and admire French colonial architecture glowing under warm lights. That is how culture lives &mdash; not sealed away in silence, but alive and breathing.<\/p>\n\nEvery city needs spaces that carry the soul of the past while opening doors to the future. To keep everything frozen in time is not preservation, but paralysis. True conservation means respecting the old spirit while giving it a chance to adapt. When commerce operates within a cultural framework &mdash; when spaces are cared for and when people feel the sincerity in every detail &mdash; commerce becomes a natural part of heritage, not a threat to it.<\/p>\n\nPerhaps what Saigon needs is not fear every time a new project emerges, but the subtlety in execution &mdash; the wisdom to preserve the old soul amid modern life. The Box Market could become a &ldquo;blemish&rdquo; if done poorly, but it could also become a &ldquo;new signature&rdquo; if executed with understanding and respect. Because heritage truly lives only when people come &mdash; with laughter, light, and life. And when a historical space can still touch the hearts of people today, that is preservation &mdash; in its most natural and sustainable form.<\/p>\n\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","image_url":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/files\/IMG_4659.jpeg?t=1759715466","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/datafiles\/64400\/upload\/thumb_files\/IMG_4659.jpeg?t=1764547972","tags":["The Box Market – When Commerce Becomes a Cultural Bridge for Heritage"],"count_view":323,"seo_name":"the-box-market-when-commerce-becomes-a-cultural-bridge-for-heritage","date_update":1759715239,"date_created_format":1759715572,"meta_title":"","meta_desc":"","meta_keyword":"","qr_code":"https:\/\/www.thanhthinking.com\/the-box-market-when-commerce-becomes-a-cultural-bridge-for-heritage"}]},"widget_13926632":{"content_data":{"content":"fanpages"}},"widget_13926603":{"content_data":{"content":"Sản phẩm của "}},"widget_13926605":{"content_data":{"content":"Cung cấp bởi P.A Việt Nam"}}}
