Notice!

I'm sorry to inform you that next Friday 11th December I won't be able to attend the Bar Chat due to personal reasons.

WWIII (3rd World War)

Last week, there were a few of us at Bar Chat, so we decided to talk about other things and leave this topic for next session, which will be held on Friday 4th, at 7:00 p.m. at K4.
Topic: WWIII. You can check the vocabulary list on the previous entry.

WWIII (3rd World War)

Is there a WWIII about to start? Or maybe you think that terrorism is already a new World War... Have we ever actually lived in peace? Is a peaceful world possible? Or is it that human beings are so greedy that peace will never be attained? What were the reasons for the WWI and WWII? Is history cyclical?
We will talk about this and much more. Here is the vocabulary list:

Can we communicate with spirits? Do you know any haunted place in your town? Can animals feel a presence?
