The story of Coca-Cola

A popular beverage that is sold all over the world is Coca-Cala. A doctor who lived in Atlanta, Georgia, invented it in 1886. Dr. John Pemberton, who was also a pharmacist, first sold Coca-Cola as a nerve tonic, stimulant, and headache medicine. The name of the dark brown syrup that made people feel better was "Pemberton's French Wine Coca-Cola." Later, someone added soda water to the syrup and it became the beverage that is our modern Coca-Cala. The first part of the name(coca) comes from cocaine, which was one of the original ingredient. The second part of the name (cola) comes from kola nut, which is still an ingredient. The original formula has changed over the years. Of course Coca-Cola no longer contains cocaine which is an illegal drug, but it still tastes delicious. The formula for Coca-cola is a secret that is carefully guarded.

My love - Hate Relationship with Camping

There are two reasons I love and hate camping. The first reason is living outdoor for a few days refreshes my spirit and my mind. After I spent a few days in nature. I feel free and happy again. Camping brings my family closer together because everyone helps plan the trip, set up the campste and prepare the meals. On the other hand, sometimes I hate camping. I don't sleep on the ground because the ground is hard. When I get up in the morning, I can hardly move. My back hurt and muscles ache. The second reason I hate comping is that we always forget something important. We forgot to bring our tent last year, so we had to sleep in the open. I didn't sleep at all becouse I am afraid of snakes amd bugs. If I see a snake or a bug, I am frozen with fear.Why do I continue to go camping when I have such a love - hate relationship with it?
