Georgia on my mind

Advantages: Wonderful people
Disadvantages: Ridiculous officials

...common. In Ukraine, for example, people in cafes and shops frequently pretend they can't see you so that they don't have to talk to you - even young people! Having bought the tickets, Betty then gestured for use to take our rucksacks to the door to her office and she would watch them for us until the boat docked. Once again everyone else moved out of the way and once again we felt a but guilty because everyone else was dragging their numerous belongings around the terminal building. There is no left luggage area. Georgia's public transport system looks, at first glance, fairly chaotic. However, it is cheap and every journey is an adventure. Although you might wonder how you are going to get from A to B when you see how many people are waiting for the bus and you can't make a reservation, you will get there. Only in the capital do you...

Review of General: Georgia

Georgia, an unforgettable love story!

Advantages: Addictive reading.
Disadvantages: A little difficult to read in places.

...This is my first "adult", book review, so please be gently with your comments!! The book I will try to review is Georgia by Lesley Pearse, the story begins like so - It's February 1954 and the story begins in a south London orphanage run by nun's. Georgia is the feisty nine year old at the centre of this story, due to era and the fact that she is half caste, Georgia was apparently abandoned as a baby and like so many other orphans has no sense of identity. After one of the many beatings that were regularly given out to the children, Georgia's path crosses with social worker Celia Anderson. After falling in love with Georgia Celia fosters her immediately and for six years are blissfully happy along with Celia's husband and Georgia's foster father, Brian. By the time it gets to Georgia's fifteenth birthday, she has bloomed...

Review of Georgia - Lesley Pearse

The O.G. Atlanta Brave

Advantages: Some decent tracks
Disadvantages: Notihng special

...?The Diary Of An ATL Brave? came as a mixtape from the Atlanta-based rapper Donnis in summer 2009. You get the artist backed by Mick Boogie and DJ Benzi, who host, as he comes through with some material that is designed to move away from the general sounds of the Dirty South and the Hip Hop that is based in Gangsta Rap as he does things in the Hipster Rap format (and so can be likened to the fellow Georgian Bobby Ray (formerly known as B.o.B.). 1. ?Beginnings? (Intro) 2. ?Underdog? As he gets down to things here with the first proper cut on the mixtape, here you find that he comes in with a heavy joint that gets him ridging some funky beats (the kind of things that seem to have been neglected from the Southern Rap scene for some time) as he shows how he can bring Hip hop back with this kind of thing and does well to show this through...

Review of The Diary Of An Atlanta Brave - Donnis

Atlanta: Metroplitan city of the South

Advantages: Great weather, lots of trees, culture diversity, nice houses and affordable
Disadvantages: Over speeding on highways, can get pretty dry atimes

...For some of you looking to settle down in a city that is metropolitan and yet affordable, then this is one option you shouldn't overlook. Normally, we think of cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and the rest as real metro cities and true they are. But Atlanta, not having perhaps half of the skyscrapers these other cities have is a big contender for the person that wants to have a bit of both urban and sub-urban worlds in one city. My first surprise was when we were approaching touch down. there being so much haze in the air I could not see the city skyline from a distance, but what was the real surprise was the amount of forest scattered across the city. Yes forest, not just trees. Atlanta is a heavily wooded city. It's a bit hard to describe cos I've not encountered a city with so much greenery. The airport is said to be...

Review of Atlanta

The Benefits of Georgia

Advantages: perks me up, smells gorgeous, looks divine, multi use
Disadvantages: perhaps the price

...When I walked into Boots I had no intention of buying Benefit's Georgia blush. It was the combination of 500 points when you buy 2 Benefit items and the sheer brute force of the Benefit counter assistant which ensured I purchased the peach face powder. That day the only thing I required was a concealer - an industrial strength Benefit Bo-ing Concealer to be exact. However when the assistant spoke the dreaded words "Is there anything else?" I was powerless to resist. How could I disappoint the heavily made up lady before me? Her bambiesque eyes started to well up and her permanent smile was wavering. No, I had a heart so I mentioned that I could do with a blush. Enthused, the assistant reached for Georgia explaining that it would look lovely on my pale skin. I'm not really a fan of peach coloured blushers. I prefer a rosy...

Review of Benefit Georgia

Golden Georgia

Advantages: Not overrun by tourists
Disadvantages: Not much beach

...Georgia is in the south of North America above Florida. It shares its North Border with Tennessee and North Carolina and its west border with South Carolina along the Savannah River and Alabama. It is nearly as big as all the New England States combined and all of England and Wales. Georgia has a Sub-Tropical climate. This means that it is hot but humid. The reason I like Georgia is that it is not overrun by tourists and is quiet. Georgia was the First State that I had been to in America and it didn?t disappoint me. I can still remember driving away from the Atlanta airport and see traffic helicopters in the sky, the huge cola bottle made out of baseball materials on the baseball stadium and the Coca Cola headquarters. It was a 45-minute drive to where I was staying in Georgia. I was staying in Gwinnet County in the county town...

Review of General: Georgia

Atlanta-The untouched city

Advantages: unspoilt
Disadvantages: Heat

...every product made by coca cola and coca cola products from all over the world be advised avoid the sample of a drink that came from italy!!! For all the shopaholics there is plenty to cater for like the Georgia Outlet Mall approximately 30 mins from Atlanta but worth it over 160 shops like Reebok, Adidas etc exceptional value for money. Finally the best restaurant in Atlanta in my opinion has tobe 'The Sundial' it is situated in the Western Peachtree Hotel, the restaurant is situated on the 73rd floor, revolves and is accessed via a glass lift, not recommended for those with a fear of heights. This restaurant is expensive at around $60 a head but the views and the food more than make up for this. If I had any complaints then it would have to be the Heat, in June the weather is nearly 100 degrees so sunblock and appropriate clothing...

Review of Atlanta

Sink your teeth into this peach!

Advantages: great fun, historical and vibrant city
Disadvantages: if you can't handle humid weather it might not be the best place for you

...the American Civil War Atlanta was used for the connecting railways and turned into a military transit and supply centre. Gone with the Wind is a romantic drama written by an Atlanta-born author named Margaret Mitchell. The story follows the daughter of a plantation owner in Georgia during the Civil War. For some reason I have been asked before what the CDC is. I'm not entirely sure why. Possibly because it has been mentioned on episodes of CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) but for those of you who wish to know ... The CDC is the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. It is situated next to Emory University in the downtown area. Emory University offers a number of courses such as arts and sciences, theology, business, law, medicine, public health, and nursing. The university is considered one of the top universities in the southern United...

Review of Atlanta

A Northerner In The Deep South

Advantages: Great climate, well laid out city, stuff to see and do all year round
Disadvantages: Not the busiest city in terms of museums to see and places to visit

...Cheap flights and the promise of all-you-can-drink Coca Cola lured me to Atlanta, and while not necessarily the best 2 reasons to visit a place, my trip turned out to be good. Georgia is one of the southern states, and Atlanta a southern city in such a state. This means 2 things: hot summer weather, and laid back, friendly natives. While you can't often sum up an entire city's climate or population in such a way, it definitely seemed true here. I flew into Atlanta, crossed the airport and hopped aboard one of their overland / underground MARTA trains. Within minutes I was entering the center, and less than a quarter of an hour later I had crossed the city and was making my way to the High Museum of Art. This reminded me of a cross between the Guggenheim and the British Museum - funny shaped "artistic" architecture, lots of Ancient...

Review of Atlanta

Three for the price of one

Advantages: American lifestyle
Disadvantages: You'll put on weight rapidly

..."If you can't find it here, it won't be anywhere else!"(Said with American accent) Atlanta is a mecca for shopaholics. There are shopping malls all over the place. One of the biggest malls, Lenox Square Mall, has about 300 shops under one roof. Most worldwide famous brands are represented here. I found the prices in Atlanta generally cheaper than the UK. A chart CD album, for example, was only $12.99. That is another evidence that Britain really is rip-off Britain. Atlanta also has one of the most vibrant restaurant scenes in America. With so many fine restaurants featuring novel recipes, you are spoilt for choice. We dined in a huge restaurant called Cheese Factory one evening. I ordered a special American dish consisting fired chicken and pasta with orange sauce. I could not believe my eyes when my meal arrived. The generous portions...
