In vino veritas!

So, if you like red wine like me you must definitely try a Barolo.  This wine is produced in the northern Italian region of Piedmont. One of the best wines of Italy. The price starts at 15 euro upwards, thus making him one of the more pricey type of wine.

You should try to get it from the years 1983, 1989, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2004. These are considered to be the most delicious years.

Books you should read. Part II: Il Principe (The Prince)

Buenos dias amigos!
Today I will continue with Part II of the Book series. In the recent days, there is a demonstration of young people / students in Spain against the current situation of the politics and moreover the unemployment rate.
A book which can be read as a manual for ambitious politicians with a great hunger for power is:

Written by Niccolo Machiavelli and divided in 26 chapters, this book describes how you achieve power and more importantly to preserve it. Machiavelli accentuates that a  politicial leader should use every tool of power to rule his country.  Even though it was published in 1532 it can help you to understand the game of politics even nowadays.


"It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both."- Niccolo Machiavelli

Booze you should try. Part I - Becherovka

If you haven't traveled to the Czech Republic, you should do so, because you will meet this fantastic herbal bitters:

Made by an old family breweries in Carlsbad (Karlovy Vary) since 1807 and is flavoured with more than 30 herbal. Its alcohol content is 38% and the standard size is 100cl. While I had a sore throat, I discovered that burbling this stuff kills the pain in the throat.

I would recommend to drink it pure, because otherwise it would taste just like every ordinary booze. The very special flavour would be lost.

Books you should read. Part I: The Art of War

Greetings people!

So I want to kick off my new blog with a Book, which in my opinion everybody should read once in their life.  This book was written by Sun Tzu ( 544 - 496 B.C) a military general and master strategist. In his book he describes military tactics and the nature of war, e.g. how to lay out the plans. Now, you might be asking yourself, why on earth should I read a book about how to conduct war?! However, by the time you read this book you will come to the conclusion,  that his philosophy of war can be very inspiring  on normal life, such as your social life or if you have to fight your own little battles in the office.

To sum it up, one can say that this book with his 13 chapters is definitely worth a try.

"He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious." - Sun Tzu
