To escape the room “The Professor” on time before the 60 minutes were up, we teamed up with our friend Barbara from Austria.

A Gay Couple City Weekend Eindhoven or how the history of light reinvents the Modern Dutch Design Capital in the South of the Netherlands.

But Eindhoven is the European city of light, especially during the early 20th century when Philips, the electronic giant, started to influence the light life of the world.
