Advantages: Architectural beauty; fantastic weather; great food; beautiful people... Disadvantages: Very few
Sevilla... the word is almost as beautiful as the city itself. I have been fortunate enough to experience quite a few places across the globe, and I could count on the fingers of one hand (and I could probably afford to be missing a few fingers) the number of places that have left more of an impression on me than Sevilla. I visited in the summer before I came to university, on an itinerary that took in the usual tourist hotspots in Andalucia; Granada, Cordoba, Cadiz, and so on.
The whole atmosphere was one that I found particularly intoxicating; you are constantly immersed in grand architecture, of which the Real Alcazar and the Catedral (the pillars of which remind me of that scene in Moria in the Lord of the Rings where the hordes of goblins start swarming down from the ceiling) are paradigmatic examples. The weather is ...

Advantages: Cheap, Multiregion, Works well Disadvantages: A bit complicated!
When my trusty old DVD player finally died, I bought the Sony DVP-NS38 B as its replacement for approximately £60.
My requirements for a DVD player were extremely basic: I wanted an entry level multi-region DVD player. So I headed off to my local Richer Sounds and had a look at the two or three that satisfied my requirements and didn't look too flimsy and picked the one that they happened to have in stock.

The DVD player is very thin, meaning that not many buttons or controls fit on it, and the LED display is very small and does not contain a lot of information. In terms of outputs - it has a digital audio coax and a SCART socket.
On the front of the case there are ...

Advantages: Amazing levels of service, brilliant breakfasts, comfortable high quality rooms. Central location Disadvantages: Can't think of any
Tell some people that you?re staying in a ?B&B? and they?ll secretly conjure up mental images of Blackpool landladies locking you out after 9.30 pm.
Mercifully, this now only happens on cartoon postcards.
The B&B I?ve just spent two nights at, in the centre of Norwich fully deserves the accolade of ?best place I?ve stayed at in Britain in a very long while? ? not so much a lodgings as a luxury hotel with no dinner menu.
Well, actually it?s better than that. How many luxury hotels would allocate one of the owners to look after you?
I?m not alone in thinking this ? many accommodation and travel web-sites such as Tripadvisor now list reviews of the 38 St Giles B&B describing it as ?the best place to stay in Norwich?, and it?s not the most expensive by a considerable margin.
Situated at 38, St Giles (the clue?s in the name ...
