In Germany, Easter is as big as Christmas! My friend Sandy gave this to me one holiday, filled with goodies. The ceramic container is a freebie when you fly the Dutch airline, at least that was the case in the early 90's. They are small enough...

La guerra entre árabes e israelíes no nació en 1948. Nació mucho antes, y sus raíces políticas modernas tienen que ver con el nacimiento de las ideologías totalitaristas ultra-nacionalistas. El padre del actual totalitarismo islámico (llamado ...

I am a bit behind getting my write-ups of this Audi A3 Cabriolet done, but boy it was a nice ride. The fabric roof is so solid you’d swear you were in a hardtop. But last weekend’s motor was a real treat: This is going to be a slightly harde...
