A hotel in the Thai capital set a Guinness World Record by stirring up the world’s largest Negroni cocktail, with more than 630 litres (1,109 pints) of the bitter Italian drink.

泰國首都一家飯店創下金氏世界紀錄，調製出世界最大杯的義大利苦口飲料尼格羅尼雞尾酒，總量超過630公升（1109品脫）。

Mixologists at the Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok Hotel poured dozens of bottles of the key ingredients - gin, vermouth, and Campari - into an iced acrylic container which is 1.7m tall and weighing about 400 kg.

【摘要2023-02-02四. 壹蘋】

A great way to get things fixed is with a little help from some friends. One organization that is devoted to doing this is Repair Café. They help to set up locations where people can meet to fix things together in a community environment. In many cases, these meeting spots are at schools, libraries, or religious centers. Anyone can bring their broken items or clothes to one of these locations. Volunteers with repair experience are often present, and they are willing to help people make repairs.
