An ordinary young man from Chicago, Charlie Countryman is being chased by drug dealers in Romanian streets. If you ask why, he was told by his recently deceased mother’s ghost to go to Bucharest to live the time of his life. And no, (unlike the question mark raised by many) not Budapest; but Bucharest. Shia LaBeouf stars as Charlie Countryman who falls for Gabi in this absurd journey. Gabi’s ex is a dangerous man and Charlie finds himself in trouble. With Evan Rachel Wood, Mads Mikkelsen and many other well-known performers in the cast, this film is Bond’s first feature.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
