Driving golden era cars in the modern era
You have reason. I know not all americans drive Cadillacs or similar cars (was just an example), -nowadays american cities like New York are full of Toyota Prius! :p- but it's a fact that the gasoline costs have a direct influence in cars of each country. In the 40's and early 50's all Europe...- Nick Halden

Cuban Cigar
A great advantage of living in Spain is that you can buy the best -and of course authentic- cuban cigars (Montecristo in my opinion) in every tobacco shop just for a few euros. Here is very traditional in wedding celebrations to give each attendant a good cuban cigar after the dinner/lunch.- Nick Halden

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
