My favourite film

Nowadays cinematography is very developed, there are many good projects with fantastic plots, sound and special effects and so on. I like all kinds of films, starting from romance, ending with horror, detective, survival.
This days I don’t watch many films or series, but there are some favorite ones. One of my favorite series is called “Alice in Borderland”. It’s a japanese project, it’s about surviving. Refuges were trapped in an abandoned Tokyo forced to play dangerous games, the type and difficulty represented by playing cards, to extend “visas” that, if expired, result in the player’s execution by lasers being shot from the sky. I like this type of films very much, it was very interesting to watch, to see many plot twists and etc. Then I can mention series called “Girl from nowhere”. This series are thai and are about a girl, whos name is Nanno, who transfers to different schools, exposing the lies and misdeeds of the students and faculty at every turn. Her character is my favorite from all movies I’ve ever watched. She is very mysterious, like the series, and clever.

Famous streets in the world

Bourbon Street, New Orleans, USA

For many New Orleans visitors, Bourbon Street embodies the life of a party town. The street is lit by neon lights, throbbing with music and decorated by beads and balconies. 

In one of the oldest cities in America, Bourbon Street is rich with historic venues, social tales and iconic buildings. The street dates back to 1718, when New Orleans was founded. French engineer laid out the streets of New Orleans in 1721 and chose one to carry the name of the French royal family ruling at the time, Rue Bourbon. This monumental street is in the heart of the French Quarter.

New Orleans’ natives might avoid this chaotic street, but if you’re yearning for a wild night out there’s no better place to go than Bourbon Street. It’s full of bars, restaurants, burlesque shows and other things.

The unusual shops

Source

Every shop can be unique in it’s own way, but there are some very unusual and original shops around the world. Here are some of them.

1. Zhongshuge, Yangzhou

Simply put, Zhongshuge is every bibliophile’s dream come true. The bookstore and library is located in China’s Yangzhou, features black mirrored floors and arched shelves that touch the ceiling, creating an optical illusion of a never-ending tunnel of books. It looks like it is from the future. If you’re browsing alone, head to the adult reading room to catch up on some essential reading.

2. Gentle Monster, Dubai

The Korean eyewear company relishes in taking visitors on a journey through its moving installations, sculptures and handcrafted objects that highlight the various stages of harvest. Take, for example, their newly-opened flagship store in the Middle East, which focuses on a theme of ‘future farms’—a concept explained on their Instagram page. “Imagine the future farms cultivated in the harmony of humans and robots,” reads a caption to a post on their feed.

3. Story, New York

Exploring the idea of a living magazine, New York’s Story changes its façade every two months. Calling themselves a “narrative driven retail concept” store, Story’s new theme translates into both its curated collection of merchandise and its interiors, presenting a brand new story (hence, the name) for customers every eight weeks.
