“Nostalgia – its delicate, but potent. In Greek nostalgia literally means “the pain from an old wound.” It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. Nostalgias will take you to a place where we ache to go again. To a place where we know are loved.”
“Türkiye’de yaşayan tango dostlarımızın türkçe sitemizi kullanmaları gerekmektedir”
