The moon

Today 37 years ago, the first man on the moon. Neil Armstrong.
"That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind"
All old people (old.....??) will remember these words!
Has this anything to do with Zodiac? Well not really but today is for Zodiac the first day that we give our special cocktails almost away for free!!! All those wonderful cocktails for only 200 dinar! Bring your friends, your lover, your maitresse, your colleaque (who you secretly love....) to enjoy the pleasures of a fresh, colourful and tasty cocktail! Feel like on a sunny day at the beach!!!

The origin of the word cocktail:
In 1779, after her husband was killed in the American War of Independence, innkeeper Betsy Flanagan opened an inn near Yorktown that was frequented by American and French soldiers. An English chicken farmer lived nearby. Due to the political climate at the time, Betsy was probably not too fond of her neighbor, prompting her to promise her American and French customers that she would serve them a meal of roast chicken one day. Her guests occasionally mocked her boasts saying she would never go through with it. One evening, an unusual number of officers gathered at her inn, so Betsy served a lavish meal of chicken, stolen from her English neighbor. When the meal was over, Betsy moved her guests to the bar, where she served up drinks decorated with a tail-feather from the chickens. The officers drank until morning, periodically making rowdy calls for more "cock tails."


As you maybe know the Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade is totally refurbished. So beautiful, perfect signing. In Serbian and English.
In China, although lots of people now get lessons in English because of the upcoming Olypmpics, it is clear that not everyone is a good translator yet. (But maybe it does mean that in Chinese??)
