'67 Mustang from The Fast and the Furious 3

Advantages: True to scale, very detailed, fun to drive
Disadvantages: Tires sometimes difficult to install, no front "crash bumper"

...that it isn't blindingly fast and has no proportional speed or steering. Turns are either full left or full right and throttle or forward/reverse motion is either OFF or FULL POWER. The drifting tires come with an included wheel wrench that is necessary to remove and install the tires. It is easy to remove the tires with the wrench but difficult to turn the hubcaps to the locked position. I actually damaged one of my wheels' locking tabs by applying too much force when locking the hubcap/wheel on. I wish Nikko had made this feature easier....

Review of Grand Theft Auto 4 (PS3)

A rare find - a quiet hotel in New Delhi

Advantages: Calm professional staff, quiet setting
Disadvantages: If you can't get it at a bargain rate, it's not worth the price.

...fabulous city where I never run out of things to do. The only problem is that finding affordable hotels can be a complete nightmare. A few years ago I discovered the secret to getting a bargain on a good hotel in Delhi. It's very simple; you have to go at the peak of the summer when nobody else wants to be there. Suddenly when the temperature shoots up and the monsoon is about to arrive and nobody with half a brain would choose to be in Delhi, THEN you really can get a bargain. On this particular trip we'd started out by spoiling ourselves with a night at the Imperial, a truly beautiful and very memorable hotel but an indulgence we couldn't afford to repeat at the end of the visit. For our final night I scouted around the hotel booking sites and hit upon the Nikko Metropolitan as it was then called. Knowing that it was a Japanese hotel chain...

Review of The Metropolitan Hotel, New Delhi

Beats anyone

Advantages: The whole kaboodle
Disadvantages: none that I can think of

...I flew JAL from Sydney to London and it was the best flight I ever experienced. To start it all of the price was only beaten by Garuda - but then I'd rather do the journey by rowing boat than to fly with them! Since JAL did not have a direct flight to London we got a free nights accomodation at their own Tokyo Nikko hotel (4-star) including breakfast. The planes (both legs of the flight) were clean, the staff were very friendly and (since I am a smoker) I was particularly happy that they offer a smoking area in the plane. Mind you - my wife does not smoke and still she had no probs with the plane being overly smokey. There were personal TV's with some great movies to watch (they even had 4! newly released blockbusters eg. "As good as it gets", which came out just shortly before our flight). The food was pretty much the best...

Review of Japan Airlines - JAL

Don't eat the FUGU.

Advantages: An amazing, fascinating city. Great food.
Disadvantages: Too much concrete.

.... Still, you don?t fly a third of the way around the world to go to a zoo do you? Instead, walk around the Imperial Palace, shop in Shibuya and Shinjuku, take an early morning trip to Tsukiji fish market, go clubbing in Roppongi, investigate the market at Harajuku, visit a few temples and if you can possibly arrange it ? take in some Kabuki in the Ginza area. Tokyo is also a brilliant starting point for some excellent day trips ? Nikko, Kamakura and Hakone (where you can climb Mount Fuji if the weather / time of the year is right). All in all, a fascinating city well worth a few weeks holiday at anytime of the year....

Review of Tokyo

One of my favourite airline so far

Advantages: Very efficient, very courteous
Disadvantages: None

...reach our front pockets!! The meals are exactly the same as economy but the seats were so large and comfortable. My seat came with adjustable leg rest and I was able to recline further back. For once, I did not feel tired when we reached Narita airport in Japan. One downside of traveling on JAL is the requirement to fly through Narita from Australia to either the USA or Europe. The plus side about this is the free one night accommodation on one leg of the return journey. A bus picks us up at the airport and ferries us to Narita Nikko hotel. My favourite bit about the one-night stay is the breakfast! Breakfast is buffet style, there is Japanese cuisine or Western cuisine. The Western cuisine consists of the usual scrambled eggs, ham, bacon, chips (strange concept here, chips for breakfast?), toast, and cereal. But I have always gone...

Review of Japan Airlines - JAL

My Tokyo experience

Advantages: Very nice trip, worth going back again
Disadvantages: No

...department stores, the underground stores/street(shops next to tube/train station) are also a good choice for shopping. Next to the shopping area is the famous Kabukicho, the equivalent of the red light district of Amsterdam. Another sushi dinner in the evening ended the day. Day 5: We joined a day tour for the day to Nikko,the resting place of Tokugawa, the first shogun of Japan. The "Shrines and Temples of Nikko" refer to the Toshogu and Futarasan-jinja shrines and the Rinnoji temple as well as their surroundings and it's one of the world heritage sites in Japan. Toshogu is where Ieyasu Tokugawa (ruling from 1603 to 1605) is enshrined; he was the first shogun of the Edo Shogunate, which flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries. As many as 127,000 craftsmen were involved in constructing the shrine, using the highest level...

Review of Tokyo (Japan)

Where to start in Manila

Advantages: Great Location, Great Staff/service, Comfortable
Disadvantages: Some of the extra services are pricey

...Although I have been to the Philippines before, it is the first time I have stayed here and it was for only one night. My wife has stayed here before when her flight to the UK was cancelled and the airline put her up here for free. We elected to stay here on our first night in the Philippines because of the location; we know the area very well, and the cost. The Travel agent we used – Philippine Island Connections, had offered us the hotel as part of our flight plans. So where is it? The Dusit Makati, also known as the Dusit Hotel Nikko, is an award winning hotel owned by the Thailand based Dusit hotels and resorts chain. Situated on the edge of the main business district and occupying the block boarder by EDSA / Pasay Road and South Drive. These are three very busy main roads, particularly EDSA which is notorious...

Review of Dusit Hotel

The Merry Old Land of Oz

Advantages: Timeless classic to be enjoyed by all, great story, beautiful sets, rousing musical sequences
Disadvantages: The moral seems to be (in addition to "There's no place like home") that Dorothy should kill Miss Almira Gulch

...presented to Mrs. Baum when filming was complete. The word "Oz" was invented by Baum as he looked around his office and noticed the letters on the bottom draw of his alphabetically arranged filing cabinet: "O - Z". I am sure there are many of these interesting stories but I will leave you with the cast and song lists? Cast Judy Garland ... Dorothy Gale Frank Morgan ... Professor Marvel/The Wizard of Oz, Doorman, Cabby, Guard Ray Bolger ... Hunk/Scarecrow Bert Lahr ... Zeke/Cowardly Lion Jack Haley ... Hickory/Tin Man Margaret Hamilton ... Miss Almira Gulch/Wicked Witch of the West Billie Burke ... Glinda, the Good Witch of the North Charley Grapewin ... Uncle Henry Clara Blandick ... Auntie Em Pat Walshe ...
