Leona’s far surpasses the original !!
There's a party right below my hotel, part of Berlin Pride, and they are singing "A Total Eclipse of the Heart" as an English-French duet. Do you think they'll be willing to make it a trio if I offer them the Czech version?

In 1933 US disability rights advocate and activist Helen Keller visited Yugoslavia. Keller had an audience with King Aleskandar I and visited the Tomb of the Unknown Hero on Avala Mountain. She wrote about her trip in a short unpublished essay 'We go on a Journey'.

My unpopular opinion: Cockta is great.. Kofola is basic AF 🙊
To continue on the subject of nostalgia drinks, I have to give a loud shoutout to these two 1950s wonderful European attempts to compete with Coca-Cola: Yugoslavian (Slovene) Cockta and Czechoslovakian Kofola 🥰 Which one is your fave and what other nostalgia drinks I should try?
