Review of Infiniment (40 Chansons Remasterisees Haute Definition) - Jacques Brel

Wilkommen free-spending culture vultures

Advantages: quaint, plenty to do
Disadvantages: pricey, popular with British SAGA tours

...If you have read my Review on Bruxelles, you will know that my style is to try and describe the atmosphere rather than list specific attractions, and this applies here too If you have NOT read my Bruxelles Op, WHY NOT!!! I always imagined Brugge to be a quaint little town that was probably over-rated and infested with coach tours on their way back to the channel ports. On the latter point there is a grain of truth, it gets very popular in the summer and is quite compact Brugge is in the Flemish part of Belgium so if you've been to quaint Dutch towns you will notice a resemlance It is a working town though, although it relies on tourism it is home to a train manufacturer which (fascinating fact) has built all the Virgin Voyager trains and others supplied to UK rail companies. You are unlikely to se smokestack industry though...

Review of Bruges (Belgium)

As good as the 1210

Advantages: Fast, quality, simple
Disadvantages: bigger than the 1210, less perfomant

...My dad decided to buy a copier-scanner-printer for my flat in Bruxelles, where I'm doing my studies. I have a HP psc 1210 and it gives me satisfaction. The 1110 one is as perfomant as her sister. For more comfort, I'll take a part of my review about the 1210, with comparaison! There are only two cables: one for the electricity and the other for the computer. 1) WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? Rectangle, she's taking less space than a normal printer. You don't need scanner anymore. The 1110 is a little bigger than the 1210. 2) COLORS Grey but the buttons color copier, black copier, cancel and scanner are respectfully green, black, orange, blue. 3) FONCTIONS -- It's written on the engine -- -- ACTIVATION Well, the ON button! You can also switch off your printer. Every button is not alone: you've have a sort...

Review of Hewlett-Packard 1110

Luxury hotel, great weekend rates

Advantages: Central location, bargain weekend rates include excellent buffet breakfast
Disadvantages: Rooms slightly on the small size. Expensive to stay during the week

....co.uk approximately 2 days before arrival. I booked the rooms individually for each night as expedia always add a disclaimer for multi-night stays that the rate is only guaranteed for the first night; thus we ended up with 4 separate reservations, but I'm happy to report that the receptionist dealt with this confusion with consummate ease. Address: Duquesnoystraat / Rue Duquesnoy 5 1000 Brussel / Bruxelles / Brussels Website: http://www.warwickhotels.com/brussels/ Freephone reservations: 00 800 46 64 41 00 for most of Europe, other tollfree numbers are at: http://www.warwickhotels.com/contact.htm Nearest Metro station: Gare Centrale/ Centraal Station ( Metro map - http://www.stib.irisnet.be/FR/31000F.htm )...

Review of Royal Windsor Hotel, Brussels

Belgian Food - it's more than frites and mayo!!

Advantages: A delicious cusine
Disadvantages: None

.... CHEESE Despite its small size Belgium makes more than 300 varieties of cheese, the same number as France. These cheeses are made in very small quantities and rarely exported out of the country. I will just tell you about eight of the most famous of the Belgian cheeses. Beauvoorde This is a very new cheese that was first created in the early 1990s by Arthur Djes, an innkeeper from Beauvoorde Village. It's made from cow's milk; the semi-hard cheese has a hexagonal shape and a natural grey rind. Its mild flavour makes it ideal for snacks and sandwiches. Brusselae Kaas Also known as Fromage de Bruxelles, this is soft cow's milk cheese that is repeatedly washed and dried over a maturation period of at least three months. The result is a smooth-textured cheese with a sharp, citric, salty bite. It is used...

Review of Everything that starts with B ...

mussels, mussels in brussels

Advantages: easy to get to
Disadvantages: therefore full of Brits

...First I'm not going to give you a rundown of all the sights, nor a geography lesson. There's stacks of guides that can do that, and some other excellent Reviews on CIAO What I hope to do is leave you with a taste of the place, so you can decide if its for you Over many years of european travel, I have given Bruxelles a wide berth. Firstly beause when I have passed through it seems dirty, dull and too often raining. Its like France Lite, and there are more appealling places to go on to I also remember a family camping holiday when we drove through Charlroi, which isn't far away, and I recall heavy industry and greyness everywhere (PS some airlines go to Bruxelles/Charlroi and you'll face a long hike in a bus) Once I dipped my toe in and whilst waiting for a connecting train, took the short hop to Bruxelles Central (which makes...

Review of Brussels (Belgium)

Vinciane? Never been drunk - EDITED

Advantages: well ---- none --- stopping beer at the party
Disadvantages: the moment before vomitting - it's not a top ten sorry

...Vinciane: I've been never drunk... Her circle of friends: Noooooooooo? DID YOU REMEMBER: - Mailys's Birthday in 2002? You've been drinking 10 beers without going to the WC for rejecting it. You've been drinking them in one shot....You were so drunk that you couldn't walk normally in the streets...You've even vomitted twice at your flats but no long, was just liquid! You remembered that the last beer was the beer too much. Since that, you're doing the party with coca..... - When your godmother came at Bruxelles and we were invited to eat with her and her hubby in your flat? You've been drinking wine....mess wine, you know, what the priest is drinking....You were so drunk at the time. You don't even remember what happened in the evening. Yes, you were phoning to your mother when you vomitted a part of the food but...

Review of 10 Best Drunken Moments

Ostende, Attractive Seaside Resort

Advantages: English is widely spoken;Nice beaches;Clean;
Disadvantages: Some items are expensive. Wide use of the Euro

...convenient with the rail station- if you want to go to Bruges ,Bruxelles,or Liege- and the tram stops where you can conveniently catch the tram to take you along the pleasant coast line-all nicely integratd at the terminal. Oh how I wish that was the case in Dover where both the Eastern and Western Docks are a considerable distance away from the Dover rail station whilst the Stagecoach bus services only go to the Western Docks. Accommodations in Ostend- or Oostende in the local lingo- are very reasonably priced-I stayed in a two star hotel for only around 17 pounds and even if you want to move to a 3 star...
