Cultivation

The demand for wild ginseng in Korea is still very large. However, it is almost impossible to obtain. Who would want to buy Korean ginseng, should search very careful and definitely need to pay a high price. To meet the huge demand for the root it started growing Panax Ginseng. The plant is grown in rich soil and in a shady area.

How i survived a big car accident

A couple of years ago i moved from my hometown San Diego to the Netherlands. In the United States is was a representative of a big candy factory and i was used to be on the road. But in the Netherlands everything was a bit different in terms of traffic. Because of the difference between the United States and the Netherlands, I got involved in a big car accident. I hit a stationary car who was standing on the side of the road with approximately 80 miles per hour. This accident caused me a serious neck injury.

A police investigation revealed that the stationary car was responsible for the whole accident. Following this investigation i could claim compensation for all the injuries. In the Netherlands they call it " letselschade ". On this foto you can see how big the impact was of the crash.

In the United States the topic "compensation" is a really big item. But also in the Netherlands the support of local companies is excellent. The personal injury lawyers working very hard to get the best result in terms of a compensation.
