Rip Off Tourist Bus in London

by | May 7, 2007 |

If only a cathartic exercise, we would like to share with you our disappointing family experience on a recent tour with The Original London Sightseeing Bus Tour. 1-/ The buses were dirty. The smell was disgusting, particularly in one bus. 2-/ The buses were packed,...

Lessons from French Elections for USA

by | May 7, 2007 |

Ok, the old news is that UMP candidate Nicolas Sarkozy has won the 2007 French Presidential elections. Argue what you will about the benefit of one or other candidate, the campaign and its results seem to carry several good messages that the American electorate would...

Spending on US political campaigns

by | May 6, 2007 | ,

Luxury prisons – rent your cell

by | May 5, 2007 |

I was quite titillated by an IHT article last week (April 30) entitled "For $82 a day, a cozier way to do hard time." This article opened my eyes to the concept of how wealthier prisoners in certain California prisons (ex Santa Ana) are able and allowed to pay a daily...

Queen’s Day in Amsterdam

by | May 1, 2007 | ,

Queen's Day is a weekend of extravagance in Amsterdam. Concerts, orange shirts, beers and garbage sprawled across the streets. It is a moment of tremendous frivolity, much aided by the glorious sunny weather on this weekend. On this trip, I was spoiled by two...

LIVERPOOL

by | May 1, 2007 |

I have been a supporter of Liverpool FC since 1972... for silly reasons really (my best pal liked 'pool at school). So, here I am in Amsterdam, 35 years later, in my hotel room, just having watched Liverpool win the Champion's League semi-finals against Chelsea via...

Travel pleasures… another improvement on the road

by | May 1, 2007 |

Sometimes, when traveling, you want to just be able to pick up all the good things and bring them back to your home country… like food specialties or quaint cultural traditions. So, on this trip, speaking as a frequent traveler, I found yet another “good thing” to...
