New Caledonia

Advantages: Beautiful, breathtaking scenery.
Disadvantages: Expensive to get to!

...HISTORY New Caledonia is a little part of France in the South Pacific. The island was named by Captain Cook on his famous voyage of exploration. He named it Caledonia as he thought it reminded him of the Scottish highlands, this couldn't be further from the truth. New Caledonia is one of the most picturesque of the Pacific Islands and also one of the largest. It is positioned between New Zealand, Australia and Fiji. It was claimed as a French colony in 1853. It was used by the French to deport large numbers of convicts and therefore has a distinctive French feel to it. A large number of the residents are of European descent. The local Melanesian population has been trying to gain independence from France since the end of WWII. The UN has intervened and France has to reconsider the independence question in 2013. GETTING THERE...

Review of New Caledonia (South Pacific Islands)

Lots of New ideas, but nothing Great

Advantages: New enemies, New Power-ups and New Levels
Disadvantages: Repetitive, Familiar and much more possibilities

...When the new super mario bros. came out for the ds it was a ground breaking development it sold out in minutes and was the must have game for the Ds. unfortunately this cannot be said for the wii release. although this version has the ability of multi player on one system and a different story line it still feels very repetitive, the 4 selections of players are. Player 1 must be Mario Other players have the ability to choose from, Luigi, yellow toad and blue toad. the first few levels put you into the retro feel of Mario with the first ever level port and same old monsters attacking you, after the first 3 - 4 levels it will start to get different with new monsters, new challenges and new thumb mashing levels. other new features are 3 new power-ups, one is a snow suit where you fire snow balls that freeze enemies, another is...

Review of Caledonia Park, Tenerife

It's a new me

Advantages: It's Mario, it looks lovely, sounds brilliant, plays well
Disadvantages: A little easy, a little short, a little lacking in possible DS features

...After purchasing a Nintendo console one of the first games you have to buy is that consoles Mario game, be it the original games on the NES, the 3D monster on the N64, the wonderfully huge Mario Galaxy on the Wii or of course this, ?New? Super Mario Bros. On the DS. Costing around £30 for the game may seem like quite a lot but with it being Mario you know to expect quality, fun and one of the most complete platforming games available to gamers anywhere out there. Simply put Mario is a sign of Nintendo at their complete best, but how does the DS game hold up against the others in a long line of great games? Well the opening menu gives you a host of options including 2 player, single player and mini games. Though the mini games seem rather pointless they do allow you to have a play with the DS and use the stylus, good idea but sadly...

O Caledonia

Advantages: Some
Disadvantages: Them too

..."O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood; Land of the mountain and the flood! " *Sir Walter Scott Patriotism's a funny thing, isn't it? While most people wouldn't see anything wrong with being proud of your country, it's but a short step from patriotism to xenophobia. I like to think of myself as fiercely patriotic, but not insular. After all, there's a Scottish saying: "We're a' Jock Tamson's bairns", which means that we're all created equal. Or, as Burns put it, "A man's a man for a' that". But enough of singing the praises of Scottish enlightenment, here's a centuries-old story that's topical...today, at least. Saint Andrew is the Patron Saint of Scotland, and St. ANDREW'S DAY is celebrated by Scots around the world on the 30th November. The flag of Scotland is...

Nothing New!

Advantages: some good articles, not too expensive
Disadvantages: Quite a lot of boring articles

...Digging into the pile of magazines I bought the previous week, I fumbled across a copy of New! Magazine, this one dated December 2008. I had initially bought the magazine because of the cover stories; news of celebrity 'bumps', and an article about Jade Goody. I could only hope the rest of the articles seemed as promising inside, as this was the first time I had bought a copy of New! After you turn over from the attractive pink cover, you come to the usual contents page you find in a magazine. Usually I skim read this, though as I had not read New before, I decided I'd not bother this time and find surprise in the extra features I hoped to find within. The next few pages contained images and little facts about celebrity gossip and fashion in general. Usually these celebs don't interest me, though on finding Myleene Klass here, I...

Review of New Look (Shop)

NEW LOOK

Advantages: Good Range of Clothes
Disadvantages: none

...New Look (clothing retailer) This is a very popular store with my two daughters and I have spent many a time in the New Look shop. Going around the store one would find many offers and often you will see if you buy one you will be able to get the second one free or at a reduced charge. My younger daughter found this very good value as she had to buy certain clothing for college and it certainly did not burn a whole in my pocket luckily. I am not sure whether these clothes are very well made but there is the choice at very reasonable cost and one will be able to vary the clothes they can wear .at at reasonable cost . The store has been in operation since 1969 and it first was set up in Taunton.The founder was a Mr Tom Singh and the headquarters are in Weymouth. In 2008 there are over 600 stores in open in United Kingdom...

Review of New Man - Joe

New Moon - New Chapter - New Highs?

Advantages: Sombre Atmosphere, some captivating moments
Disadvantages: Too long, lack of substantial plot

...expecting to be given a little catch up at the beginning of the film and to be fair there are a few flashbacks however these tell the audience nothing about what has previously happened. Therefore if you?re planning on watching this you really should watch Twilight first. The special features seem to have come on leaps and bounds since the first film. There were scenes in the first film that were merely laughable whereas New Moon seems to have raised the bar significantly. Everything looks fantastic from the super-sized werewolves to the flying vampires. It would appear however that what this film makes up for in impressive special effects it lacks in storyline. Nothing really happens in this film and people that have seen it will surely agree with me. I haven?t read any of the Twilight books therefore am unable to make any sort...
