Chinese woman gets cosmetic surgery to look older
A 60-year-old Chinese woman called Chen, who looks younger in the wake of a series of cosmetic surgery procedures, returned to the hospital this week in Hankou, Hubei, to ask doctors to restore her original old appearance. Chen’s husband, surnamed Zhang, strongly opposed the cosmetic surgery and refused to talk to her for three days. Zhang wouldn’t even let her leave home after the surgery. Zhang is said to be worried that Chen would fall in love with someone else, as many local old men have begun inviting her to dance since the operations. To save her marriage, Chen had to concede. Just goes to show that some people are never satisfied. Cosmetic Surgery Answers is the UK's number one resource for news, advice and features. Visit us every day.
Washington-Canada 'express lane' in the works
While national security is making international travel slower and slower, Washington state and Canada are working out a plan to create a virtual "express lane" across their shared border. A bill moving through Washington's Legislature would allow state residents to get enhanced driver's licenses that would work the same as a passport. So far, Washington is the only state considering such a setup, but other states are watching to see how the program shakes out to possibly adopt as their own as concerns grow about U.S. plans to require a passport for border crossings starting next year. A new federal rule went into effect this month requiring people to have a passport to travel by air to and from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean. The same requirement is expected to go into effect Jan.
