Soaked in History and Draped in Dance: Brazil’s Martial Art of Capoeria

Soaked in History and Draped in Dance: Brazil’s Martial Art of Capoeria

Embedded deep and far back in #Brazilian culture, Capoeira is a striking martial art that enriches a dark history. Its origins lie in the times of slavery, when West Africans were shipped to Brazil to work in intolerable conditions on the sugar cane farms.

Price or Comfort during Flights?

What matters most when you buy an airplane ticket? #American companies are supposedly listening to their customers' demands with cheaper but less comfortable #flights. Many services that were once free are now charged for, and the checked baggage as well as in-flight meals have become a resourceful way for airlines to make a profit.

A Walk around Istanbul’s Old Town

What’s the best way to know a place? Many people claim that the best way to get to know a place is to walk it and, having seen several cities this way, I could not agree more.
