Ten Benson + Stupid Acting Smart
February 5, 2010 · Comments Off
Ten Benson probably have a few AC/DC records in their collection but their indie rock has a bit of a glam stomp to it too. For some reason they all see fit to model their look on what all the best-dressed US gas station attendants are wearing this season.

Museum of East Asian Art
February 2, 2010 · Comments Off
One of a cluster of cultural institutions in the leafy district of Dahlem, Das Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst houses one of the finest collections of East Asian art in the world. Extra space created by recent renovation work has allowed the curators to devote two whole rooms to ceramics from Korea and Vietnam, and several more to Chinese and Japanese painting from the last three centuries. The Soviet army seized more than 90 per cent of the original collection at the end of WW2 and most of the items currently on display have been acquired over the last 50 years.

Saving Money on your Beach Vacation
January 27, 2010 · Comments Off
If you have traveled to far western Australia or taken a fast weekend trip to the Jersey Shore, barring rain, the beach is mostly a fairly delightful experience. We’ve taken trips all around the planet we’ve missed giant opportunities of money savings that were seemingly all around us if we had just taken the time to do a little additional research. Well, you are in for a treat. The travel research has been done for you, all you have to do is be prepared to keep on reading. Before you know it, you will be taking the beach holiday of your life, for a steeply reduced price. Well, not particularly used : more like discounted ( or new really ). Infrequently, folks can put their holiday opportunities up at real concessions. Were you aware that there are all kinds of folk out there who own time shares but can’t use them for diverse reasons? Perhaps the season isn’t right, or they cannot seem to get the flight that they want. Ebay has a flourishing market for timeshare possibilities. A large amount of the lists are permanent ( e.g. Guess what? Expedia and Orbitz look like they’re juggernauts of web travel and they control a lot of the market.
However they do not have each seller available. We haven’t used JetBlue ourselves yet, but it’s supposed be very good ( particularly at delivering good price on Northeast to Florida routes ). That tip alone could save you some $ while getting you a very nice flight.
Three ) the 1st two points are perfectly valid in any trip planning but virtually meaningless when you remember that you could have to shell out a load more USD for destinations abroad. There’s a stunning beach state located not too far away from anybody East of the Mississippi. Florida. Florida is back and it’s beaches are still amazing. Florida is still attractive. There has been a large amount of development of Florida in the last fifty years, but Florida is still a giant state with masses of unexplored beaches.
The state of Florida can be good if you know where to look. It’s pretty nice.
Trust us.the unexplored spots of Florida can actually be something else.

Festival of Vision: Berlin in Hong Kong
January 25, 2010 · Comments Off
Continuing the German theme (alongside Max! 2000 and after Oktoberfest) is the return leg of a cultural exchange project between Berlin and Hong Kong. After the blunder of a Chinese artist taking 2000 Buddhist symbols to Germany (swastikas) to Berlin, curiosity surrounds what artists there will bring here. More than 500 artists are flying in and events include art shows, music, dance, theatre, film, exhibitions and workshops.

Firelight Buffet
January 24, 2010 · Comments Off
With so many top-name chefs opening eateries in Las Vegas, it’s easy to ignore the lowbrow culinary legacy of Sin City – the all-you-can-scarf buffet. Today, most chuckwagons are merely carb-loaded imitations of past splendours, so it’s nice to see that Sam’s Town has resurrected the spirit of the buffet – decent food and a nice atmosphere offered at a can’t-beat price. The buffet serves freshly cooked rotisserie meat, omelette stations, speciality foods from Baja California and the Pacific Rim, and a buffet rarity – full bar service. It overlooks a stunning atrium, an indoor park replete with trees, waterfalls and streams.

The Wounds of Silence
January 19, 2010 · Comments Off
This exhibition of photographs was put together by a Belgian photographer and an African nurse whose entire family was killed in the Rwandan genocide five years ago. Pulling no punches, ‘Die Wunden des Schweigens’ includes pictures both of the perpetrators and the victims of the massacre in which more than one million people were murdered in less than three months. Yet far from the screaming carnage you would expect, the prints depict dozens of quiet, personal tragedies – such as that of the man who ‘looks after’ the skull of a neighbour he hacked to death with a machete.
