Subterranian fun in Austria

Advantages: Interesting, educational and fun
Disadvantages: 9 degrees and damp

...and the roof of the caves, it is a truly awesome experience, made slightly creepy by the weird music that echoes around you. When Disney made the film ?The three Musketeers? they used the underground lake as a film location. They built a large Viking like vessel and filmed the Musketeers on board to simulate them sailing under the Bastille as they went to rescue the King, the boat has been left behind and makes an impressive sight sitting in the water. After the boat ride the guide asks everyone to climb to the top of the steps again and lets everyone make their own way out, this gives plenty of time to take photo?s and to take in parts of the mine we may have missed on the way in. The temperature in the mine is only 9 degree?s so it makes sense to take a warm jacket with you, but if you have forgotten your jacket they will give you...

Review of Vienna (Austria)

Wii music

Advantages: Learn about instruments
Disadvantages: Not interesting enough for me

...I love my Nintendo Wii and love playing new and different games on it. I recently played the Wii Music but unfortunately this was one game that I really did not like. Wii music was released in 2008 and allows players to simulate playing with real musical instruments. You use either the Wii remote or the nunchuk to play the instruments. THe disappointment for me was that the instruments were just not realistic enough. For example, I love Wii Sports because I think the tennis, bowling and actually all the games are really realistic and it feels like you are actually there playing the game. With the Wii Instruments it did not feel like you had a real instrument in your hands and also the Mii characters on the screen just did not react well to the movements. It was more of a chore trying to play the instruments and I gave up pretty soon...

The top place for Culture and Classical Music

Advantages: Class, culture and music
Disadvantages: Could be quite expensive

...This is part of my travel diary on a tour from Contiki. Berlin/Prague/Vienna tour Day 7 By late afternoon/early evening, we arrived in Vienna, capital of Austria and classical music. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Austria? Sound of Music, Viennesse Waltz, Viennesse biscuit or Arnold Schwarzenegger? Well for me it?is definitely Music!! Austria is one of the most cultured countries in Europe and Vienna being its capital is also the capital for classical music. Threfore, there is no surprise that many well-known composers or musicians and some examples are Mozart, Johann Strauss, Hadyn and Schubert. Vienna is all about classical music and beauty with a amazing collection of buildings and architecture. The city lies in the Danube Valley and has been inhibited for thousands of years...

BOSE: Music for the soul

Advantages: Great sound quality, perfet at loud volumes, just in general FANTASTIC
Disadvantages: none so far

...Anything made by BOSE can be trusted. Its sound quality is always at its best, no matter what soundsystem you use from bose, and it's true... you get what you pay for. Jus plug it in and press "ON" and you're set up! IT'S THAT EASY! bose is a big brang name, and everyone expects the best from, and how right they are. The sounddocks simplistic design brings out the best of your mp3 player, making it the whole music experience that much better. For (at most) £300, you are getting exactly what you pay for AND more! The bose soundock has an inate wonder within itself, which brings you to appreciate the minor details embedded into whatever track you are listening to. Its reasonably light weight, comes with an easy to use remote and from there onwards, it really is just you and your music i can easily say that the best thing about...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

Salzburg, the sound of Mozart...music

Advantages: Stunning scenery, wonderful place
Disadvantages: not any

...Tourism based on ancient and modern - Mozart's music genius in the 1700s, and the tunes of The Sound of Music, famous now for just over 40 years. Salzburg has it all, the music story, wonderful, old, historic buildings and the majestic mountains bordering a lovely, open rural plain. 'The Festival City and its beautiful surrounding countryside' - that's what my glossy tourism book says and I agree through and through. My winter visit was magic. Snow was not as predominant as it usually is in February but enough on the stunning mountains to add the feeling of winter turning to spring. This proved to be just the right time of year for us to explore an old, architectural beauty. Mozart was born here - to be precise he entered the Salzburg scene at 8 o'clock in the evening on the 27th day of January in 1756 at number 9...

Review of Salzburg (Austria)

Nokia 5800 touch screen music phone

Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: Can get damaged easily

...The 5800 XpressMusic is a revolution for Nokia with it being the first touch screen phone produced by the manufacturer. With its slim lined shape it is an easy phone to hold and to use. The stylus being made of plastic makes the phone as light as possible and easy to hold and to use with the screen. The back of the phone can be removed without out fuss to get at the battery and the SIM card which is slotted into the side of the phone but only removable by removing the back and the battery. The Nokia 5800 takes a micro SD memory card that can go up to 16GB in size that also slots into the side of the phone that the SIM goes in. The general use of this phone is simple and to task with many shortcuts through menus including the 4 buttons on the front of the phone one of which opens a shortcut menu for media applications including music...

Review of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

A Wii bit musically challenged

Advantages: See Pros in review
Disadvantages: See Cons in review

... Wii MUSIC I think that Wii Music is a tricky game to review. When I purchased it for my son at Christmas, I visualised a Christmas with all the family joining in and enjoying the game, somehow that didn't really materialise. I can't really decide exactly what Wii Music is - is it a game, or is it a music sim? For anyone who is looking for a game like Guitar Hero they will be disappointed. I think many people thought that this game would teach them how to play an instrument but that is not what it is about, Wii Music is actually about the joy of making music. The emphasis seems to lie in having a good time, at the expense of everything else. Whatever you do, you're never told that you did something wrong or given any negative comments at all. What the game actually does is to the Nintendo Wii's motion...

nokia 5800 express music, a great phone!

Advantages: so many great features and looks great!
Disadvantages: took me a while to work out where the sim card went! but thats probably just down to me, lol

...cool, it shows you where you are and your able to find local services on the maps, like garages and car parks. Really cool! I also like the way you are able to cut together to video clips and add a soundtrack and then you can upload it to the web! The video and pictures are really clear and colour perfect. You can load these to the computer or show them through your tv. The mp3 ringtones are crystal clear in sound, and the headphones you get with the phone are good too. Your also able to plug your phone into the computer and download music to your phone. The menu display is good and its easy to find what you want. It comes with three games, bounce touch, a guitar game and a car racing game, all good but takes a while to get the hang of the touch screen with the games. You get earphones, a extra stylus, a plecktrum (to use instead...

Wii Music Falls Flat

Advantages: Good Amount Of Instruments To Play
Disadvantages: Very boring, Doesn't Let You play Beats, Just A God Awful Game

...This is a very different review for me, so I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and comment. Thank you. Wii Music I have spent weeks trying to get Wii music from Game at a good price, I missed the sale, so the only prices they had left was £34 and there was no way in hell that I was going to buy a game at that price. After a very hectic day, we ended up in a small town whilst my sister was getting her brace fixed, after sitting in the car in a traffic jam for 2 hours to get there (in the heat mind you), we were about ready to pass out in the car, so went for a little walk and found a blockbusters. There sitting in front of me was the game I wanted for £22.98 which was the price I was willing to pay. I came home with the game and for about 10 minutes I had great time learning the controls and playing the different games...

Review of Wii Music (Wii)

Mii was not impressed by Wii Music! (Wii Music)

Advantages: None really
Disadvantages: Boring

... Wii Music Review Well this was a game that I was quite excited about getting and expecting great things from but turned out to really disappoint me! Wii Music was released in late 2008 and I got it for Christmas and it simply is not good enough. I was expecting a great new original game that would be fun to play with friends or family or on your own, a game that was unique, could be played for 5 minutes or 3 hours and above all fun! Wii Music fails in my opinion. You use the Wii remote and Nunchuck to play the instruments. The instruments do not feel realistic enough and for instance you can be a dog or cat which is just stupid! The game gets very boring and repetitive after about 30 minutes as it feels unrealistic and just not much fun which was a real disappointment! There are a wide range of instruments but most of them...
