Het Achterhuis

Advantages: Fulfilled a dream of Mine
Disadvantages: Claustrophobic, eerie atmosphere

...Het Achterhuis - the house behind - what Anne Frank had planned to call her book she was in the process of writing when her life was cruelly cut short. Anne Frank was a Jew who kept a diary during war town Amsterdam. She was in hiding with her family, another family, and a dentist friend on the Princengract , the same building that was used for her father's jam making company. Today the house she hid in is a museum, a timely reminder of what happened to millions of Jews, and what we can never let happen again. I walked to the Museum, and was easy to find on foot, although there is tram stops and the river taxis operate beside the museum too. We went last July, and there was a long queue, but it was worth the wait. The entrance is in a stark modern building beside the Westerkirk, often mentioned in Anne's Diary. It's a stark...

Review of Anne Frank's House, Amsterdam

Whipped Cream & Watery Messes - Antwerp style

Advantages: Great food
Disadvantages: No mussels

...I'm lucky to have friends, Alex and Katya, who live in Antwerp and when I visit the city for work, I try to meet up with them to play with their very fine Persian cat and go out for dinner. They have been living there for a couple of years so by now they know where's worth a visit and I've not been disappointed with any of their choices. Just before Christmas we set out to find some dinner and Katya and I decided we wanted mussels. Our craving drove us to stroll around the town centre until we found Het Vermoeide Model where we checked the menu boards outside to confirm the presence of mussels and headed in. First Impressions Entering the restaurant was like stepping back in time. The ground floor had a small room with bare brick walls, a complicated looking sink and beer tap to one side and a staircase heading to the first...

Review of Het Vermoeide Model, Antwerp

Easily missed, but the weissbeer is a treat

Advantages: Great range of beers, nice seating in the summer
Disadvantages: Bar itself is quite small

...INTRODUCTION Here is a look at yet another bar on Breda's main square, Grote Markt. Whilst not being the first choice, and in fact is quite empty during the winter evenings, if not closed, it is not without its charms as I will elaborate. THE BAR Situated in the middle of Grote Markt, Het Voske in on the opposite side of the road to its main rivals, and jostles with them for outside seating areas in the summer. As their seats are on the end of this arrangement, it can be easy to miss this bar and in fact it was by accident that I ended up sitting there in the first place. You can tell which tables belong to which bar from the menus on the table and type of chairs deployed, as I was to discover. Inside the small bar itself, there is a dark wooden, traditional feel to it, which quite appeals to me. In common...

Review of Het Voske, Breda, Netherlands

Miraculous

Advantages: Good attraction, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: None

...Het Mirakel Van Amsterdam (The Miracle of Amsterdam) is a fifty minute-long, computer-generated exploration of the history of Amsterdam. It takes place at the Pompoen Theatre on Spuistraat daily from Tuesday to Sunday, hourly from 11:00am to 4:00pm. The Amsterdam miracle is ideal for anyone who visits the city without the sole intention of getting stoned and going to the Red Light District. Based on historical material, the film shows the growth of the city from a dam on the River Amstel to its current status as one of Europe’s only truly metropolitan cities. Paintings, pictures and old film footage are brought to life by 2D and 3D animation techniques and show how the city’s residents lived, worked, and fought for their civil liberties. It demonstrates how the town grew from a church state to one of the most tolerant...

Review of House Of Fraser Store Card

Best at what it does

Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: would like more longer articles

...More is commended for giving the UK women's magazine market a hefty kick up the butt just when it needed it most. OK, that's a few years ago now, but we are all still reaping the benefits. I'm way over More's target readership age, but I still buy it occasionally because it's quite simply good fun. Before More came along UK women's magazines were in grave danger of disappearing up their own posteriors. More reminded us that girls can and do wanna have fun. The fact that dreary MPs got so het up about things like Postition of the Fortnight can only say that it's doing something right. More is very clear about who it wants to appeal to - 16-21 year olds. The fact that a much wider age range, on both sides buy it is testament to its winning formula....

Review of More!

Great even when not Happy Hour

Advantages: Happy Hour a Bonus.
Disadvantages: Sharing a Tiramisu of my own.

...for starters) but het I was hungry. Followed this with a Spicy Pizza (With Jalopino peppers), at the price I half expected a meagre type Pizza, how wrong can you be a Full 12 inch Pizza with plenty of toppings. As we were going to the Beer Festival later we had Peroni Beer . The wines on offer were £10.95 a bottle, but looking at the choices this was reasonable. We finished by sharing a Tiramisu, again I did not really expect at the price such a delicious one, matched all we have had in Italy. It was servered not only with a small jug of Cream but also a small bowl of tasty Ice-Cream. Total bill was £24. A real bargain given the attentive, friendly service, and quality of the food. The restaurant is decorated in the Italian colours with many Photos from Rome, Florence, Venice Etc. Yes well done VERDI RESTAURANT and a top score...

Review of Verdi Restaurant, Berwick upon Tweed

Great

Advantages: Smells nice, does what it should
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive

...When I first started using this shampoo I had terrible dandruff and heard that this shampoo helped het rid of it, which I needed as it was becoming quite embarassing having white flakes everywhere. When I first bought this I was skeptical though as I dont tend to believe what people say regarding products. I bought mine for £4.00 from sainsburrys and I have never looked back. This shampoo is dermo togically tested which means that it can be used even on sensitive skin and doesnt irritate your eyes if any of the shampoo goes in them. The smell is pleasant also, however the smell can tend to linger which you may not want if you want your aftershave or perfume to be your main smell. However it is pleasant and is a uni sex smell. When I first started using this shampoo my dandruff had gone completely within a week which I was over...

Review of Head & Shoulders Normal Hair Shampoo

viking extravaganza

Advantages: a whole lot of musical ideas....
Disadvantages: ...going to waste in unstructured songs and a terrible endmix

...and a solid rythm section make this song enjoyable but also not much more. Regicide is a viking ballad (what hte f***?), an experiment that shouldn't have been on this album. Altough wen thinking about it, maybe the whole idea behind norwegian native art should have never been released. The combination of scandinavian mythology, black metal, theatre, classical elements, heavy metal and synthesizer leads make it from time to time a bit too much. Givin the fact the mix is also out of balance, listening to this cd isn't the most fun job to do. A second problem is the singer of this band, I really dont like the theatrical half chanting half speaking voice het tries to combine with the music. too much is too much or like the French say 'Trop est trop' Only for hardcore metalheads who want to collect everything (even when it's rubbish) tracklist: 1...
