Lego Belville: Royal Summer Palace

Lego Belville Advent Calendar

Advantages: So much fun! Looks so cute. Unique and different
Disadvantages: Just for girls! Maybe not as Christmas themed as could be

As a nice alternative to chocolate advent calendars, this year my boyfriend got me a 'Belville Lego Calendar' instead. I secretly wanted the 'Lego Advent Calendar' but since my boyfriend had got that one we couldn't have the same one! I was quite a big Lego fan when I was younger, and still am! But I am not so familiar with the 'Belville' selection of Lego since it is still quite new. Belville is the same as normal Lego.. but for girls. So lots of pink, girly and glittery things! (This is definitely not a unisex calendar!) We bought our advent calendars direct from the Lego website and they cost £12.99. The advent calendars are recommended for people 5 years + The calendars are very exciting. They are very thick (around 2 - 2.5 inches), and they are slightly bigger than a normal sized chocolate advent calendar. The front ...

Review of Lego Creator: Belville Advent Calendar

Summer palace, Beijing

Advantages: great enjoyable seighseeing
Disadvantages: some site is not well managed

The Summer Palace (Yiheyuan) was a very interesting place. The view just too good to be true, water of Kunming lake so clean and wide, and air is so fresh, for it's placed in Wanshou mountains. This palace was very large area, so you cant go inside and look everything here in just one day. The first visit from morning until dark you just see 1/5 area, for you have to walk non stop. While you walk, the most often you will see is the hand painting ceilings and pillar，colored with red, blue, green, and with, sometimes gold. Gold color means king colors. Just king's stuff that using gold color. So if wan to visit this place, plan visit it in several days, not just one day. ...

Review of Summer Palace (Yiheyuan), Beijing

Summer Palace, the way life was

Advantages: See the history, experience the wonder
Disadvantages: none

Giggle, giggle, chattter, chatter and lots of pointing. We were the centre of attraction for the hordes of little Chinese school children as they walked in orderly fashion around the Summer Palace, near Beijing in China. This was the first time I realised we were foreigners in their country. The little ones, were very amused at our small party of three Kiwi's (New Zealanders) and they showed us in no uncertain terms that we were a bit of a rarity when we visited, to learn more about their Chinese rulers' way of life. The Summer Palace is an attraction where being fit and able to walk long distances is definitely a bonus. It is spread out around huge Kunming Lake with the most beautiful ornamental 18-arch bridge, temples and palaces. Hearing the names of the Summer Palace, Imperial Garden's features is enough to describe ...
