Denmark, one of the countries I wanted to visit, attracted my attention. A country tops the list of happy people like other Scandinavian countries. We preferred to start our Interrail train trip from there. I flew from Miami to Copenhagen Airport. Since hotels in Copenhagen were very expensive, we chose to stay in Malmö, Sweden. Thanks to our İnterrail pass tickets, the trains did not cost us anything extra and it was always a pleasure to cross the beautiful Öresund Bridge on our way from Denmark to Sweden. Öresund is the world's largest cross-border bridge connecting the two countries and both land vehicles and trains can...

"A strong mindset, the first step in the outlook on life of those who lead a happy life, are taken in the 'family'. Therefore, the foundation of our negative mood and perspective is also laid in the family. In other words, our identity and identities first emerge in our childhood and the family environment we have. The family is the smallest building block of societies and also reflects the character of societies. In this article, I will mostly talk about the 'family,' which is often the beginning of everything; I will examine its beauties, difficulties, and inevitable problems. What is the secret of happy families, how...

We will start this week with the Venus-Pluto and Mercury-Neptune triangle (Positive angle). There will be situations where passion will come into play in relationships, but also include manipulative effects. It will be a week where we can have our wishes and desires without much effort. Of course, let's not forget that our self-belief and sense of confidence are very important. With the Mercury-Neptune triangle, there will be effects where our intuitive perception will be strengthened and issues such as inspiration will come into play. The Mercury-Pluto sextile will occur on November 8. It is possible that intelligence will sharpen, plans beyond the obvious will come...

The most important issue of the week will be the Sun's transition from Pisces to Aries. I congratulate all Aries on their birthdays in advance. We leave behind the period of withdrawal and emotional thinking and transition to the energy of taking initiative and taking action.
The effects of the Venus-Saturn conjunction in Pisces this week may lead to emotional problems and misunderstandings with the people we love. It is good to be cautious. Let's talk about the effects of planets on zodiac signs.
Dear Aries and Aries Rising,
You will have a good time with your family and home at the beginning of the week, and you will...

The Most Genuine Way to Approach Art
Murat Mete Agyar
Hello dear readers,
After a long break, it feels wonderful to write about art again…
Today, I wanted to talk about a simple yet important question with you:
How should we look at a painting?
Many people stand in front of artworks wondering, “Am I interpreting this correctly?” But art is not always about understanding first ; sometimes, it begins with feeling. For a painter, every detail matters. Whether the composition is horizontal or vertical, the colors, the lines, the empty spaces… all of them create emotion. For example, in a Mondrian painting, the black lines and primary colors are not merely...

Tugba Yazici/ Rome
Reporting from Rome – No, this is not a dream. I am here! I am in the capital of love, art and pasta. Why? Our American-Italian co-production film Echo, which I produced, won an award at the Rome Prisma Awards. So naturally, I found myself on a plane to Rome… My suitcase was packed; my soul had already gone to Rome.
This time Rome was a different kind of beauty…
As someone who has been to Rome many times before, I can say; the atmosphere of this visit was different. Maybe it was the pride of the award… Maybe it was the magic of Pizza Margherita…...

At the Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Open Air Stage — After a long stay in Southern France; Before returning to my home in Florida, I stopped by Istanbul for a short time and, as a former Istanbulite, I packed a lot into a short time, as usual… For example; on August 9; I was at the Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Open Air Stage, Ajda Pekkan concert. It was incredibly beautiful; environment, ambiance, and super Star Ajda! I recommend everyone traveling to Istanbul to watch a concert here because the spirit of real Istanbul beats here. I think Ajda Pekkan and her short name Ajda have a completely different...

From the moment we are born and throughout our lives, every individual has a common desire: to achieve happiness. The goal is apparent in all times and societies. So, what are the ways to achieve this happiness? It would be easier if happiness had a mathematical formula, like everything else, wouldn't it? However, I can say that there are shortcuts to achieving the goal of happiness.
It is precisely our emotions that keep us from our happiness, that sometimes push us away and sometimes bring us closer to it. From the first moment of our existence, our subconscious is a system that brings everything together and records...
