SHORTCUT


It is beautiful out there and it seems appropriate to cut corners on our way a place where we want to rest with the love of our life in the best case and, in the second best case, in the presence of Faiyo, so that we’re there asap. In short, shortcuts can pay off – only maybe not for those of us who...

John Galliano II, Kubla Khan Orgy

Rushing Atina
My ship with the proud name Festos Palace landed in the Piraeus port in Athens at about 5:30 a.m. I was still loafing in my cabin for about an hour, for I believed they would have let me sleep in the €39 boatel till eight.

Fast and Safe at All Times
Parkour is not an adrenalin or extreme sport. It is neither acrobatics nor gymnastics. It has nothing to do with vandalism or hazard. Often it is not even what the media presents it like. The aim is not to shock the others, but to overcome oneself.

Would You Listen?
Even if we spent much mazuma on a decent MP3 player, the headphones that go with it are far from being of an equal quality, no matter if the case is Apple, Samsung or Creative.

Eat Splendour, Be Splendour
Japan holds global primacy in longevity and anything that has something to do with cuisine has a considerable share in this. The trend is clear: less meat and more fish, fewer cooked meals and more raw. But what makes “their” meals and the taste and aroma of these so inimitable?

Cut It!
Cut it all!!! There’s so much info that everyone gets it even from the. At times, the info is quite superficial, but what the hell – we do feel informed, and we must have info flow.
