Pension Stankovic, Dubrovnik

Advantages: magnificent view
Disadvantages: you must climb a lot of steps

...I visited Pension Stankovic, Dubrovnik in the spring of 2009. We spent tree days in Dubrovnik an It is not easy to find the house We arrived in Dubrovnik in the evening. We were tired and it was dark. The navigation system showed us a road which was forbidden for the car. I get out of the car, took the navigation system in my hands and started to follow the commands. I was really surprised when I saw that to reach the address I had to climb at least 100 steps. I didn't have any choice and I climbed the steps. After climbing all the steps, I understood that this was not the right street. I went down and I tried the next street with the same number of steps... :-) After the third try I found the street which was at least 200 steps far of the car. At the end we found the address and we parked in fornt of the house in front...

The basic economics of pensions

Advantages: Certianty, less governemt relaince
Disadvantages: If prices go up, it's not worth it, takes ages to develop a fund

...This is not an opinion of this company’s product or it’s quality of service etc! It merely is some useful commentary about pensions in general. I have written far too many opinions on popular music and it’s about time I wrote about something boring and hopefully helpful. Please bear in mind that I haven’t even started full-time employment, it really gives me no right to rant on about this subject. First of all, as you know, a pension is a payment you get when you are old, that’s fine, and I guess you know that here in the UK we have a state pension comprising of a basic element and an earnings related element. Individuals may also have a private pension to which they made contributions to when they were in employment. So why am I here telling you this? (apart from getting my hard earned 10p...

A Miami Miami; I'm a pensioner now

Advantages: Cheap, clean, central location, cheap supermarket nearby
Disadvantages: No breakfast, no windows, not wheelchair friendly, questionable neighbourhood

...€20 including two beers and a coffee for the two of us, but a selection of Tapas in the evening from an establishment on Las Ramblas cost over €70! Arriving in Girona by Ryanair? Catch the airport transfer bus (~€21 return). Despite the cheap nature of hire cars (~£11 per day) parking will quickly bump the overall price up and wipe out any savings. ~~~ Conclusion ~~~ We spent three days in Barcelona on a limited budget. Flights and accomodation cost around £110 but the expensive nature of this particular city cost us another €300 or so (including nearly £50 worth of parking!). If you are on the cheap and don't mind finding your own breakfast, the Pension Miami may just fit your needs. The Pension Miami is certainly not the worst budget hotel I have ever stayed in, but it does not match the outstanding value...

CASCADA PERFECT DAY

Advantages: great songs, this album is alot better than the original
Disadvantages: some weaker links

...Perfect Day was the second debut album to be released by German Dance Group Cascada in 2007 approximately a year after the release of their first debut album Every Time We Touch. The album perfect day consists of 13 full length music tracks which gives this album a total run time of approximately 44 minutes. The Dance Group Cascada consists of three members whom are Natalie Horler, and her producers Yanou and DJ Manian, however most people will associate the band Cascada with only female vocalist Natalie. This album in my opinion is slightly the same as other full length Dance/Electronic albums which are on the market at the moment. The similarities are of course in the use of strong bass lines in the tracks as well as a fast tempo and very minimal melody at the beginning of the songs. In Dance/Electronic genre bands/tracks we have...

Review of Perfect Day - Cascada

A training day to remember

Advantages: Terrific acting, great plot, dark, compelling but intelligent
Disadvantages: Cop films might not suit all

...Training Day was a film that instantly stood out to me as a must watch film due through the fact that Denzel Washington had been nominated for an Oscar for his performance in the film. Having always admired Denzel's talent as an actor, I was greatly anticipating this film. The central plot of the film is a young, slightly naive, wet behind the ears Ethan Hawke has joined the narcotics department he wants to make a difference and climb the ladder. Before he can hold these goals in my mind however, he will subject to a first day evaluation by Alonso a decorated, respected and equally feared narcotics officer. Today is indeed going to be Ethan's training day, but this is no ordinary training day and while first perceiving his officer's tactics as being unorthodox, he begins to realise that there is a much darker side to him. Jake...

comfort all day and night

Advantages: comfortable, can be worn for up to six days continuously
Disadvantages: cost

...My boyfriend's dad is an optician and noticed I was blinking a lot when wearing my previous contact lenses, particularly when it was late at night. I explained my contact lenses had become dry and uncomfortable especially after wearing them since 7.30am. I was given a pair of these Air Optix to try and told that these contact lenses allow 5 times more oxygen to my eyes than my previous lenses and I could even sleep with them in for up to six days. I was advised to build up the hours I wore these each day and eventually try sleeping with them in. These lenses have been designed using up to date technology and allowing oxygen to the eyes is one of the main benefits. When I put them on I was surprised by how comfortable they were and I could not feel them on my eyes like I could with my previous lenses. I had one day when I was...

It's a song about lost...
