The Royal Hunt For the Sun

Advantages: Read op...
Disadvantages: Read op...

...Honour: respect; loyalty; integrity; allegiance to moral principles. Honour is a key theme in the Royal Hunt of the Sun by Peter Schaffer. Almost all characters within the play have diverse perceptions of honour and what it actually means. These perceptions are influenced by the characters upbringing, lifestyle and religious beliefs. Each Character regards honour as a different idea due to their experiences and beliefs. For example, Valverde and De Nizza ? both Christian priests ? only show respect and loyalty to others who practise their religion. Many conceptions of honour contradict one another within the play, but which character has the best ideas about honour? Who is the most honourable character in the play? The main character in the Royal Hunt for the Sun is Pizarro, a complex-minded man in middle-age. Pizarro...

Sanremo: when a name isn't a guarantee

Advantages: A famous place
Disadvantages: Prices

...of tourists and dirty: there is only e small part of free beaches... just where the drainages give to the sea... The very interesting thing that Sanremo offers is the possibility of visiting a protected international marine oasis (the ares among Corsica, Liguria and the south of France), where you can see dolphins, whales, and other protected races. Another positive characteric of Sanremo is the climate, so wonderful that in January there are the so called 'corsi fioriti' (flowers parades') with typical wagon. The tradition of the "bloomed courses" is of XIX century and it is a part of a similar tradition, that of the 'flowersbattlesì. Of these ancient traditions you can find the tracs in "Sanremo in flower", in the "Battle of the flowers" of Ventimiglia, in the "Festival of lemons" of Mentone and in the "Battles of flowers" of Nizza...

Review of San Remo (Italy)

Cool city

Advantages: My hometown
Disadvantages: My hometown

...view over Frankfurt and around you have from the Main Tower –one of the highest buildings, completely covered by blue glass. Entry is in Neue Mainzer Strasse. Take a walk at the River Main which is one of the nicest places in Frankfurt. Between bridges Untermainbrücke and Holbeinsteg the Northern riverside is called Nizza (German for the city Nice) and Mediterranian plants like palms and even an olive tree can be seen there. Right there the Jewish Museum (Jüdisches Museum) is situated which offers a good view into daily life of Jews in Frankfurt in the past time. Pass the river over pedestrian bridge Holbeinsteg and you are in front of the art museum Staedel. A good collection of old masters, impressionists and expressionists is shown there. Especially plenty paintings of Max Beckmann can be seen there. Around...

Review of Frankfurt/Main (Germany)

• Don't just take my Wort für it...

Advantages: Excellent range of vocab, real German usage, value for money
Disadvantages: None!

...chapter 18 - Welches Wort soll ich wählen - Which word should I choose? This section deals with key words which are often difficult to find a German equivalent for. Take 'get' - which is a notoriously difficult word to translate. For each of the following sentences in English which use 'get', a different verb is used in German: 'I am getting old' 'She has got her first car' 'I got a letter today' 'I must get myself a computer' 'She gets a good salary' That just goes to show how useful this section is - it helps you to distinguish between verbs like 'to know' (= to be familiar with) and 'to know' (=by learning/experience). The geography chapter also deserves a mention as it lists place names which sometimes cause difficulty such as 'Milan - Mailand', 'Nice - Nizza', and 'Venice - Venedig'. This is extremely useful. For such...

Review of Wort für Wort: New Advanced German Vocabulary - Paul Stocker

Nice to see you Nice

Advantages: Fountains, Sea, Sun, Mountains and all for free
Disadvantages: Pebbles, French men who think they are it

...Nice or Nizza as the locals know it. You've probably seen photos etc. I stayed here for four months it must have been about five years ago as part of my studies for European Business Studies with the University of Hertfordshire. I lived in Nice for four months as a student, in Valence (next to Lyons) working for six months and then about 3 years ago I lived in Caen in Normandy for four months. Each of these locations are so different as you would expect from France, but Nice remains my favourite memory, probably due to the large amount of free time that I had being a student (12 hours a week study - lol!). I set off from London Victoria bus station via coach, to be my home for the next 24 hours (don't do it!). There were only 3 of us on the entire coach however, so I just spread myself over 4 seats and tried to sleep when applicable...
