On the Square

Advantages: Good location, good standard, clean and pleasant
Disadvantages: A bit anonymous

...The Square is a mid priced hotel situated in the heart of Copenhagen, on Radhuspladsen and overlooking Tivoli Gardens. A short walk from the Central Station it is very handy for transfers from the airport and provides an excellent base for touring the city. Part of the ARP-Hansen Hotel Group it is one of several hotels in Copenhagen and like their other properties offers a good standard of accommodation geared towards the modern business or tourist traveller. Location ~ Despite the claims that the hotel overlooks Tivoli gardens this is somewhat misleading. Granted, from the top (6th) floor you can see the giant Tivoli sign but that's about it. There aren't really any other views available as it isn't in the prettiest part of town. A few minutes from the station it occupies a large portion of an unprepossessing retail...

Experience Shopping at Eldon Square!

Advantages: Good Shops
Disadvantages: Mainly highstreet stores

...When I was younger I used to go to Eldon Square in the school holidays with my grandma and we would meet my sister and my nephews in Newcastle and go shopping. Therefore, for me Eldon Square has some happy memories as well as some great shops :) Eldon Square is an indoor shopping centre located in the heart of Newcastle and as I am now studying in Newcastle I have been here quite often recently. Eldon Square first opened in 1976 and serves a catchment area of 2.7 million people. There are a number of entrances but I usually enter at the one on Northumberland Street. This leads straight to the shops. It is lovely walking into Eldon Square on a cold day, as it is really warm (so especially good at this time of year!) The entrance on Northumberland Street is on a bit of an incline and it's the usual type of flooring in indoor...

Choco squares, for me and the kids!

Advantages: Is even better with milk.
Disadvantages: Not the healthiest cereal out there.

...As any one who is familiar with my reviews will know, my children love cereals, the sweeter the better! So when faced with the product I will now review, they just had to try it! The product I will now review is "Asda choc squares". The packaging is bright and vibrant, the box is purple in colour with a large oval patch of yellow in the centre. On top of the yellow is the brand and product name in the same purple as the rest of the box, very effective! For some strange reason there is a picture of a "mad dog" peering over the lettering?! Around the lettering there are pieces of the cereal flying about, some of which are broken in two so as to show of the chocolate centre. Finally there is the statement that this product has got added vitamins and iron?. Ok I,m sold! The cereal comes in a large sealed plastic bag, the cereal is...

Victory square

Advantages: a memorial to brave soldiers who died during the world war 2
Disadvantages: it's only so much fun you can have looking at memorials

.... ******Square and the obelisk On one of the main squares of Minsk there is a memorial with an eternal flame. A four sided obelisk reminds us of those who sacrificed their lives during Second World War. Every fourth Belarus died during the war. Each side of the obelisk symbolises different things: 1 symbolises war front, the other one defence, 3rd symbolises underground movements and finally the 4th one symbolises partisans (partisan is basically a civilian fighting on his own initiative, and in Belarus they were significant force against Germans. Usually Partisans were either too old or young to join the army, so they fought on their own) This obelisk with built in the victory Square on the 4th of July 1954 to commemorate 10 years of freedom from fascist occupation. The work on the obelisk actually started before the war had finished in 1942...

Square 1

Advantages: Dreamy album, very calming and warming
Disadvantages: Some can be a littl 'samey'

...and wanted to hear more, so I went out and bought both that album and Square 1. The lyrics are simple, but catchy and it could be said that some of the songs could be similar to Van Morrison, Rufus Wainwright, Nick Drake or David Gray I won?t go into all of the songs, as I would just end up repeating myself and running out of things to say, however I will write about some of the ones that stand out for me. 1. I?m in love with a girl/the funniest girl in the world (1.00) This song is only one-minute long but provides and introduction and sets the scene of what is to come in the rest of the album; simple love songs. It can be seen where his inspiration comes from when writing songs, and his love-life has been the source of inspiration for this album in particular. 5. Black Box Waltz (1.03) An instrumental song on the album, which is...

Blue Square Hotel- Apparently near, yet so far.

Advantages: Lovely bedrooms, large shower, bar staff friendly, luggage room to leave bags.
Disadvantages: Too far from city centre, transport costs to hotel very dear, area undesirable.

...My partner and I recently visited Amsterdam (in late May for 4 nights) and as I was so busy with work, left it up to him to book the hotel and take care of the details. We have been to Amsterdam before and the hotels we usually stay at had no vacancies, so he booked us into the Blue Square Hotel, and proudly showed me the documents he had printed off and the website. "Looks lovely, oh it says it's close to the town centre- within walking distance- can't wait!" was my reaction. Out of the airport we trundled a few weeks later with our cases and got into a waiting taxi. He drove us to the hotel. It took a LONG time. As he was unloading our cases with us he said "This is not a good area for you." I asked him what he meant by that. "Is not a good area and is too far to walk to town, you will have to use trams. Don't pay all the time...

Square Head!!

Advantages: Great taste, smell, value for money
Disadvantages: Not many crisps per packet

...Walkers Square crisps are available in 4 different flavours, cheese & onion, ready salted, salt & vinegar and beef. You can buy a 25g pack of Walkers Square for £0.35. Walkers Square are also available in a multipack. The multipack contains 6 packets of Walkers Square, 2 Cheese&Onion, 2 Ready Salted and 2 Salt & Vinegar. It costs about £1.35 for a multipack. Salt and Vinegar are my favourite because they are really tasty compared to the Cheese & Onion and Ready Salted. The Salt and Vinegar are really tangy and you can smell and taste the vinegar. Walkers Square are also suitable for vegatarians because they are cooked in Sunseed oil, which is similar to olive oil. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Packaging ~~~~~~~~~~~ Salt and Vinegar Squares are sold in a dark blue packet which has different shades of blue squares on it. The word squares is...

Come and see Fred and Elsie at Orchard Square

Advantages: Lovely clock as its centrepice
Disadvantages: Only a small number of shops

...Looking at Orchard Square today its hard to imagine that this was once Sheffield's flagship shopping centre. That's not to say that there is anything wrong with this place its just that more than two decades on it now looks pretty much like hundreds of other generic indoor shopping centres and if one arrived blindfold it would be difficult to determine immediately in which city, in which part of the world one was. That is unless you just happened to be stood in the open air courtyard under its clock tower. So having described Orchard Square as nondescript I now retract this statement a little by adding that it has the most amazing clock tower as it focal point. The clock stands in the middle of its paved courtyard and every half hour when it chimes it turns into a mesmerising exhibit for a few brief seconds. As the clock strikes the two...

Mornflake Chocolatey Squares - A delicious treat for all ages!

Advantages: Crunchy, Chocolately, Soaks up Milk without going soggy
Disadvantages: Not enough portions in a box, Can be hard to find

...When I first tried Mornflake Chocolatey Squares, I was instantly Hooked ! I generally like most cereals, and love chocolate, but find many chocolate cereals to be too light, and all the chocolate comes off in the milk. Chocolatey squares are a step ahead of their chocolatey rivals, encasing the delicious chocolate inside a substantial nugget of crunchy cereal, which stays solid until the last bite. This is probably my favorite bit - I dislike many cereals when too soggy, and often rush my breakfast trying to avoid the soggy bits at the bottom of the bowl. I often leave my Chocolatey Squares for a while to soak up the milk, as they seem to get tastier as you get to the bottom of the bowl. Saying that, I'm more than happy to eat them straight out of the box! The chocolate paste inside is delicious - Similar in taste and texture to...

Red Square

Advantages: Can get you drunk without knowing it
Disadvantages: i haven't found any yet

...Red Square has to be the most Moorish vodka drink around that I have ever tried. I have tasted all flavours and all are pleasant and tasty. The thing I love most about drinking these is that you can’t taste the vodka so you can get plastered without even knowing it. I’d defiantly recommend Red Square to people who don’t like vodka as these drinks are just like drinking fruit juice and that’s the honest truth as I’m not an alcohol lover myself that’s why I’m perusal to them. Also I like to get tippsy and merry so this I find’s the best way of doing so. They come in 7 flavours, which are as follows: Wolfberry & Vodka – Tastes like black fruit pastel, it is a sharp drink and very easy to drink. It’s the colour of very dark Ribena when you hold it up to the light, but...
