The Sunday Magazine: Netflix’s Stranger Things. August 21, 2016. I spent last weekend binge watching the latest must-see original series on Netflix, Stranger Things. One of the things that tipped me over into watching it was on my Spotify there was an official Stranger Things playlist. That playlist had a lot of my favorite songs from the 1980’s. Little did I know that Stranger Things would also have some of my favorite movies from the 1980’s within it as well. It is a fun way to spend a weekend plowing ...

Cosa C'entrano i profumi? Profumi per viaggiare a naso. Cè ancora e lo trovate sui traghetti in Grecia. Non si può dire di avere viaggiato in Grecia se non si è fatta, almeno una volta, l'esperienza del traghetto. Infatti, c'è qualcosa di speciale e di grandioso, nei traghetti che solcano l'Egeo. Già dal momento in cui si avvicinano all'attracco, il suono della sirena presagisce che qualcosa di solenne sta per accadere. Chi si trova sul molo, in attesa di partire, scalpita finché non vengono aperte le tr...
