MOOSES GUIDE TO DENMARK

Advantages: Not as expensive as expected, friendly people, easy to get around, great beer!
Disadvantages: More expensive than the UK, gets ignored when thinking about a short break

...In another of my travel guides I had to write an opinion about this wonderful (but small!) country. I would never have even considered taking a trip to Denmark had it not been for a conference I was required to attend for work. I had heard it was expensive and the weather was very similar to that of the UK...so really no great appeal to a twenty something female - how wrong was I! This opinion is not meant to be a complete run down of Denmark, more of an account of the areas that I visited in the week I was there. Denmark - General ----------------- Believe it or not, Denmark is made up of 450 islands, most quite tiny and uninhabited. It is divided up into 3 regions; Sjaelland, Fyn and the peninsula of Jylland. The two cities I stayed in; Aalborg and Aarhus were situated to the west of Jylland so this is where I will...

Review of General: Denmark

There is more to Denmark than Copenhagen

Advantages: lovely countryside, nice people
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...Yes, yes, everyone knows Copenhagen and the Little Memaid or the Tivoli. But how many of you know about the rest of this wonderful country? To understand my fascination, you must know one thing: Unlike like most people at ciao.uk, I do not live on an island surrounded by the sea. No, I, as a boring German, live in the boring German countryside where the nearest bit of sea still is a good 8 hours' drive away. *sniff* And so, as I love those high, rough waves beating upon a sandy beach, the wind blowing so hard that it's difficult to breathe, the smell of burning wood wafting across the heather, so I spend most of my holidays in Denmark, preferably somewhere on the North-Sea coast. In my opinion, there is nothing better than a small holiday house a stone's throw away from gigantic sand-dunes. Go for a walk, get soaked...

Review of General: Denmark

Delicious Denmark - more than Pastry and Bacon.

Advantages: Different, Delicious.
Disadvantages: Not spicy.

...Food in Denmark. Not the first place you would associate with a burgeoning food culture I know, but there are a number of dishes in Denmark that you just wont find in England. Denmark is culturally very similar to England, and neighbours with Germany and Sweden, and all these influences are apparent on the dining table. More background info is available here: http://www.answers.com/topic/cuisine-of-denmark The danes generally take a continental style breakfast, and then a light lunch, with the main meal of the day in the early evening. Working through these in reverse order, Here is an idea of what to expect: Evening meals. Generally, there is a tendency towards a "meat and two veg" approach to dining, and most meals would receive the approval of your granny. Potatoes are a staple, and are served boiled, roasted or "brown...

Welcome to my jungle - amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Deliver Ontime, great customer service, good prices.
Disadvantages: -

...Welcome to my opinion, on MY most used online shooping website. I have oredered approx. 20 products from amazon in the past year, and all have been process smoother than a McDonalds milkshake. The product range is second to none. With 10 categories varying from books to computer games, you are sure to find what you want. They have just about every book on UK release and even specialised subjects, (such as my tenpin bowling) can be accessed pretty easily. The newly added electrical store is also brilliantly stocked, with all the latest gadgets and gizmos. From mp3 players to USB hubs, the electrical department has it all. The value for money is also very good. Even more so when they have special offers on in the various areas. (And these offers or quite frequent too). For example at the current time they have a “Bargains...

Ebay.co.uk - Guide to selling

Advantages: Great way to earn a few extra pennies!
Disadvantages: Takes time to list, post, etc.

...I am not going to explain what ebay is or how to use it as I'm sure that everybody with access to the internet has been on there at one point - even my four year old knows what it's for! This is simply a guide to selling. I have been using ebay for the last 6 years and have had a lot of experience with selling. My friend and I used to sell womens underwear, it was quite profitable until everyone and their granny discovered ebay and tried to make a quick buck. Now I primarily sell my own items (clothes, etc) and dip into trading if I come across a great bargain. If you are considering going in to business do your homework. View many listings to get an average price for things, calculate the listing, final value and Paypal fees. Factor in postage costs and cost of buying packing materials. And double, no, triple check that...

Car Hire and cycling in Denmark

Advantages: Clear, well maintained roads
Disadvantages: dangerous unless you read this, expensive

.... Secondly, and somewhat scarily, the driving laws are different. Although you can hire cars on a UK or EU license, cycling is to Denmark what tea drinking is to the UK - and cyclists have a couple more rights than they do in the UK. So watch out for these: If you are turning right at ANY JUNCTION you must GIVE WAY to cyclists who are going straight on, coming up on your inside. For example, if you stop at a red light wanting to turn right and the light turns green, you still have to wait for the cyclists to go straight on before you can turn. Similarly, if you are on a roundabout, the chances are there will be a cycle lane around it. Cyclists again have right of way over cars - so if you want to exit the roundabout and there is a cyclist on your inside (rhs) who is continuing round it, you have to wait for them to drive past. That is...

England 3 Denmark 0 A Game of One Half

Advantages: Through to Quarter Finals
Disadvantages: probably against Brazil

...**Ciao don't seem to have added categories for second round matches yet, so I've posted my report of England versus Denmark here** The heroics against Argentina (and rather dull draw with Nigeria) had led England into a second round match against Denmark, the side who beat defending champions France. We’d already equalled the progress of 1998 and were hopeful of going (at least) one stage further. This was never going to be an easy match though – Denmark not only winning their group, but boasting two impressive wingers, Rommedahl and Gronkjaer, who would test our full backs’ defensive abilities, and the free-scoring Jon Dahl Tomasson. As expected, the England team was unchanged – having come about due in part to injuries to Hargreaves and Dyer, it now picks itself really and Eriksson stuck with a winning...

Nice to be Valued! www.valuedopinions.co.uk

Advantages: Reliable survey site who pay up!
Disadvantages: Other than a slightly dull website, none.

...Review of www.valuedopinions.co.uk. I have been a member of Valued Opinions for around three years and have accumulated many rewards. I generally chose to take my earnings in the form of paper Tesco vouchers, so far this year, I have received £40 in vouchers.

The Website For All those Seeking To Be Green! greenpeople.co.uk

Advantages: Beautiful products and a fast delivery service.
Disadvantages: Expensive

...www.greenpeople.co.uk is a website devoted to the company "Green People" who make natural toiletries and sun care products for all the family. Inspired by the story of a little two year old girl called Sandra who like many children was plagued by the skin condition Eczema. Her mother, a lady called Charlotte, had a nursing background, and she set about trying to find a natural way to treat the condition. She used a Hawthorn and Artichoke Formula which she obtained from an herbalist, and she began to use supplements for her little girl in the form of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids. This together with the elimination of all household chemicals produced outstanding results, and cleared the eczema completely. This inspirational story is mirrored in mine as my son had eczema as well and I was able to cure his by the use of Manuka...

Cheapest place to get an iPhone in the UK ........

Advantages: Price, Customer Services
Disadvantages: Inaccuarte stock levels recorded on their website

...I've wanted to get an iPhone for a while now but had to wait for my current contract to run out and decided to research the best place to buy one from. As a regular user of Quidco (a cashback site) I noticed that mobiles.co.uk were offering £60 cashback for every iPhone contract, which made it by the far the cheapest site to purchase from. I also had an offer code for a free bluetooth headset (that you can get off hotukdeals.com), so overall a great deal! The initial ordering process was very simple. My only issue was that the website said they were in stock, which was incorrect and I had to wait nearly 7 days for delivery. I usually think mobile phone insurances are a waste of money but with an iPhone I think they are probably worth it and mobiles.co.uk charge £7.99 a month, again far cheaper than the monthly costs at both Carphone...
