Current Events - In China, the groom arrived at the wedding in a convoy of nine sewage trucks - Pan Haonan and Li Yaqing

30-year-old Pan Haonan and his bride Li Yaqing got engaged in August 2025. Pan graduated from college with a major in video editing, but eventually continued his father's family business, which has been involved in sewage removal for over 20 years. Now, he manages the team himself.

When Pan suggested using sewage tankers instead of traditional wedding cars, the bride supported the idea and called it original and even romantic. The groom's parents were initially against it, but gave in after the girl agreed.

All nine vehicles were thoroughly washed, disinfected, and decorated with red flowers and ribbons. Two belonged to Pan's company, and the rest were borrowed from colleagues in the industry. On one of the vehicles, a banner with the congratulations "To King of sh*t Haonan - Happy Marriage" was even hung.

Pan himself says about this:

“Although we do the dirtiest and most stinky work, the money we earn is clean. Compared to other professions, our industry is quite stable. As long as people eat and go to the bathroom - we will be needed. As long as there is sewage - we will be needed.”

Kechut Reservioir - Jermuk | Azizbekov Raion | Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic | USSR 1984

The Kechut Reservior (also known as the Ketchut or Jermuk Reservoir) is an artificial body of water in the Vayots Dzor province of Armenia, primarily used to regulate the water level of Lake Sevan. Construction began in 1967 and was completed in 1981, at which point it became the head of the Arpa–Sevan water supply system. Its creation required flooding the broad valley where the original village of Kechut and several medieval cemeteries stood, leading to the resettlement of residents and the submersion of historical khachkars (cross-stones).

Cooking - Baked Chicken Breast with Pineapple

🍗 Baked Chicken Breast with Pineapple

📝 Ingredients:
Chicken breast - 1 piece
Canned pineapple - 100 g
Hard cheese - 50 g
Mayonnaise - 4 tbsp
Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp
Salt, spices

🔥 Preparation:

  1. Wash the chicken breast, dry it, and cut it into two fillets. Each fillet is cut lengthwise to get 2 pieces. Beat each piece of meat on both sides. In the end, from 1 chicken breast, you will get 4 cutlets.
  2. Season the cutlets with salt and sprinkle with your favorite spices (I added curry and paprika).
  3. Place the chicken cutlets in a baking dish (or on a baking tray) greased with vegetable oil. I had canned pineapple in the form of thick slices. I cut each slice lengthwise to get thinner pieces. Arrange the pineapple on each piece of meat.
  4. Top the pineapple with mayonnaise.
  5. Sprinkle a layer of mayonnaise with grated cheese. Bake the chicken cutlets with pineapple in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30 minutes. The cheese will melt and the meat will be covered with a delicious, golden crust.
  6. Juicy, tender, spicy baked cutlets made from chicken breast with pineapple are best served hot, accompanied by your favorite sauce or side dish.

Notes:

Slice the chicken breast evenly and pound it gently so all pieces cook at about the same rate.

Do not pound the chicken too thin, or it may dry out during baking.

Canned pineapple rings or chunks both work, but drain them well so the topping does not make the chicken watery.

If using pineapple rings, cutting them into thinner pieces helps them sit better on the chicken.

Any good melting hard or semi-hard cheese will work, such as mozzarella, gouda, cheddar, or Monterey Jack.

The mayonnaise helps keep the topping moist and gives the cheese a golden finish.

If desired, mayonnaise can be replaced with sour cream, plain Greek yogurt, or a mayo-sour cream mix for a lighter variation.

Curry and paprika pair especially well with the sweet pineapple, but black pepper, garlic powder, or Italian herbs can also be used.

Bake until the chicken is fully cooked; the internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C.

If the cheese browns too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil for the remaining baking time.

This dish goes well with rice, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Serve hot for the best texture, while the cheese is melted and the chicken stays juicy.
