On the Square

Advantages: Good location, good standard, clean and pleasant
Disadvantages: A bit anonymous

...The Square is a mid priced hotel situated in the heart of Copenhagen, on Radhuspladsen and overlooking Tivoli Gardens. A short walk from the Central Station it is very handy for transfers from the airport and provides an excellent base for touring the city. Part of the ARP-Hansen Hotel Group it is one of several hotels in Copenhagen and like their other properties offers a good standard of accommodation geared towards the modern business or tourist traveller. Location ~ Despite the claims that the hotel overlooks Tivoli gardens this is somewhat misleading. Granted, from the top (6th) floor you can see the giant Tivoli sign but that's about it. There aren't really any other views available as it isn't in the prettiest part of town. A few minutes from the station it occupies a large portion of an unprepossessing retail...

Experience Shopping at Eldon Square!

Advantages: Good Shops
Disadvantages: Mainly highstreet stores

...When I was younger I used to go to Eldon Square in the school holidays with my grandma and we would meet my sister and my nephews in Newcastle and go shopping. Therefore, for me Eldon Square has some happy memories as well as some great shops :) Eldon Square is an indoor shopping centre located in the heart of Newcastle and as I am now studying in Newcastle I have been here quite often recently. Eldon Square first opened in 1976 and serves a catchment area of 2.7 million people. There are a number of entrances but I usually enter at the one on Northumberland Street. This leads straight to the shops. It is lovely walking into Eldon Square on a cold day, as it is really warm (so especially good at this time of year!) The entrance on Northumberland Street is on a bit of an incline and it's the usual type of flooring in indoor...

Victory square

Advantages: a memorial to brave soldiers who died during the world war 2
Disadvantages: it's only so much fun you can have looking at memorials

.... ******Square and the obelisk On one of the main squares of Minsk there is a memorial with an eternal flame. A four sided obelisk reminds us of those who sacrificed their lives during Second World War. Every fourth Belarus died during the war. Each side of the obelisk symbolises different things: 1 symbolises war front, the other one defence, 3rd symbolises underground movements and finally the 4th one symbolises partisans (partisan is basically a civilian fighting on his own initiative, and in Belarus they were significant force against Germans. Usually Partisans were either too old or young to join the army, so they fought on their own) This obelisk with built in the victory Square on the 4th of July 1954 to commemorate 10 years of freedom from fascist occupation. The work on the obelisk actually started before the war had finished in 1942...

Square 1

Advantages: Dreamy album, very calming and warming
Disadvantages: Some can be a littl 'samey'

...and wanted to hear more, so I went out and bought both that album and Square 1. The lyrics are simple, but catchy and it could be said that some of the songs could be similar to Van Morrison, Rufus Wainwright, Nick Drake or David Gray I won?t go into all of the songs, as I would just end up repeating myself and running out of things to say, however I will write about some of the ones that stand out for me. 1. I?m in love with a girl/the funniest girl in the world (1.00) This song is only one-minute long but provides and introduction and sets the scene of what is to come in the rest of the album; simple love songs. It can be seen where his inspiration comes from when writing songs, and his love-life has been the source of inspiration for this album in particular. 5. Black Box Waltz (1.03) An instrumental song on the album, which is...

Choco squares, for me and the kids!

Advantages: Is even better with milk.
Disadvantages: Not the healthiest cereal out there.

...As any one who is familiar with my reviews will know, my children love cereals, the sweeter the better! So when faced with the product I will now review, they just had to try it! The product I will now review is "Asda choc squares". The packaging is bright and vibrant, the box is purple in colour with a large oval patch of yellow in the centre. On top of the yellow is the brand and product name in the same purple as the rest of the box, very effective! For some strange reason there is a picture of a "mad dog" peering over the lettering?! Around the lettering there are pieces of the cereal flying about, some of which are broken in two so as to show of the chocolate centre. Finally there is the statement that this product has got added vitamins and iron?. Ok I,m sold! The cereal comes in a large sealed plastic bag, the cereal is...

Review of Asda Choc Squares Cereal

Square Head!!

Advantages: Great taste, smell, value for money
Disadvantages: Not many crisps per packet

...Walkers Square crisps are available in 4 different flavours, cheese & onion, ready salted, salt & vinegar and beef. You can buy a 25g pack of Walkers Square for £0.35. Walkers Square are also available in a multipack. The multipack contains 6 packets of Walkers Square, 2 Cheese&Onion, 2 Ready Salted and 2 Salt & Vinegar. It costs about £1.35 for a multipack. Salt and Vinegar are my favourite because they are really tasty compared to the Cheese & Onion and Ready Salted. The Salt and Vinegar are really tangy and you can smell and taste the vinegar. Walkers Square are also suitable for vegatarians because they are cooked in Sunseed oil, which is similar to olive oil. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Packaging ~~~~~~~~~~~ Salt and Vinegar Squares are sold in a dark blue packet which has different shades of blue squares on it. The word squares is...

Mad Mad Madison Square Gardens

Advantages: Huge Sport and Entertainment Venue
Disadvantages: Busy

...On our recent visit to New York one of the things on our' to do' list was a visit to Madison Square Gardens. Whether you are a sports fan or not most people have heard of this great entertainment centre. History I fact there have been four Madison Square Gardens ( MSG from now on). The First Garden 1 (1879- 1890 ) Garden 1 was situated at Madison Square; 26th Street and Madison Avenue. It was a building without a roof and was named MSG by William Vanderbilt in 1879 and was used for horse shows, dog shows and circuses. Boxing events were also staged there. Garden 2 ( 1890- 1925 ) Garden 2 was constructed on the same site as Garden 1 it was designed by Stanford White and contained an 8,000 seat main arena, a 1,500 seat concert hall, a 1,200 seat theatre plus the world's largest swimming pool. It was built in the Spanish...

Blue Square Hotel- Apparently near, yet so far.

Advantages: Lovely bedrooms, large shower, bar staff friendly, luggage room to leave bags.
Disadvantages: Too far from city centre, transport costs to hotel very dear, area undesirable.

...My partner and I recently visited Amsterdam (in late May for 4 nights) and as I was so busy with work, left it up to him to book the hotel and take care of the details. We have been to Amsterdam before and the hotels we usually stay at had no vacancies, so he booked us into the Blue Square Hotel, and proudly showed me the documents he had printed off and the website. "Looks lovely, oh it says it's close to the town centre- within walking distance- can't wait!" was my reaction. Out of the airport we trundled a few weeks later with our cases and got into a waiting taxi. He drove us to the hotel. It took a LONG time. As he was unloading our cases with us he said "This is not a good area for you." I asked him what he meant by that. "Is not a good area and is too far to walk to town, you will have to use trams. Don't pay all the time...

Thumbs up for Square Hotel, Brighton

Advantages: Fantastic sea views from King Room, chic room, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Blinds let in light, few mod cons

...I went to this hotel for a romantic getaway in February and it was exactly that, incredible romantic. We love our boutique hotels and Brighton has a great selection. The Square is definitely up amongst the best in my experience. It has 9 contemporary rooms and a sophisticated bar. You can even get a range of treatments such as massages in your room for ultimate luxury. The hotel is well located in a Regency garden square on New Steine which is just a hop, skip and a jump away from the sea in Kemp Town. We arrived by car and as we are regulars to Brighton knew that the best place to park is at the Marina, where it?s free for the length of your stay and then catch a bus back to Kemp Town. However, the staff at the Square were great in reminding us that this is a good idea. The bus stop is on the main road and only a 2min walk...

Review of Square, Brighton

Come and see Fred and Elsie at Orchard Square

Advantages: Lovely clock as its centrepice
Disadvantages: Only a small number of shops

...Looking at Orchard Square today its hard to imagine that this was once Sheffield's flagship shopping centre. That's not to say that there is anything wrong with this place its just that more than two decades on it now looks pretty much like hundreds of other generic indoor shopping centres and if one arrived blindfold it would be difficult to determine immediately in which city, in which part of the world one was. That is unless you just happened to be stood in the open air courtyard under its clock tower. So having described Orchard Square as nondescript I now retract this statement a little by adding that it has the most amazing clock tower as it focal point. The clock stands in the middle of its paved courtyard and every half hour when it chimes it turns into a mesmerising exhibit for a few brief seconds. As the clock strikes the two...
