We will find out whether they will succeed on August 24, 2016!

How to change a tire on a car? Although we live in an age of equality, there is still a belief that a woman's place is at home, behind the stove. Two thirds of Slovenians thought so in 2014! That they take care of household chores or home and family, and men for more physically demanding tasks, including around the house, for protection and income. But in the era of feminism, many women no longer agree to the traditional social division of roles and break stereotypes one by one. This girl has taken matters into her own hands, too, and now she wants you to too. You can start by knowing how to change a car tire, which is considered a man's job. Otherwise, the easiest thing is to drive the car to the edge and, with a kind expression on your face, catch some macho guy to change it for you. But this is not a woman in the 21st century. A woman of the 21st century puts on gloves, takes a tool, a spare tire and starts to lift the car with a jack. In addition, a tire can burst somewhere behind your back. And then? At that point, you'll need to replace it yourself, and in this post, Brittany Hornick will show you how.

Back in May, it seemed like science fiction (it was only a mock-up at the 19th International High-Tech Exhibition in Beijing), but today the elevated sliding megabus of the company Transit Elevated Bus is a reality and has already "driven" to or over the Chinese streets of Qinhuangdao, where it successfully passed its first test run. Let us remind you, it is a huge raised bus that can transport 1200 people, it slides on tracks above a two-lane road, and cars can safely drive underneath it!
A sunny forecast, a full tank of gasoline, enthusiasm for the star-studded "line up" on the last day of the Fresh Island festival, a relaxed holiday atmosphere of three friends, what could possibly go wrong? My festival experience was fun and interesting and anything but predictable. A reliable companion by the name of Renault Captur stood by my side the whole way.
