Hollywood Theatre (movie theatre)
The Hollywood Theatre is one of those places that you see as you go by, but never quite remember that it is there until you actually experience it. It’s awesome - one of those retro experiences. Even the sign out front is from the 1930s.
There is a single screen, …
Smurf Shoot
The SCA, or Society for Creative Anachronism, has quite a few events going in throughout the year to introduce people to the wonders of medieval living. It’s a re-enactment group that spans the entire world, though it’s most prevalent in the United States, and it has a little something …
Club Phoenix Albany NY
Club Phoenix is located right in downtown Albany NY. Too start things off there was no where at all to park and I had to walk a good 30 mintues when I did find parking. I finally entered this club where I had to pay around $10 to enter. …
Bowlero Lanes bowling alley
In El Paso, there is not much fun to be had. With this problem, most people just go out to eat, go to play games, or go to the mall. There are a couple of bowling alleys also. Right near my house there is a Bowlero Lanes bowling alley. …

Virgin Media Bundle (TV, Phone, Broadband services)
I’ve been a customer of Virgin Media at my new address for a year and a half now [and before that of NTL Cable at my old address!]
My original package was good for the time (e.g. not in a recession) and I admit I was rather too lazy to …
Avilon Zoo
I traveled for a good one hour from Manila to Montalban, Rizal to reach this remote yet popular zoo. The entrance is immediately inviting, an uphill slope that leads to a mini-garden. I watched the koi fish and some ducks in a pond while my friend bought tickets for …
Theater: Elvis Cinemas Littleton
Elvis Cinemas Littleton is a great place to catch a movie. Located on the corner of Kipling and Bowles, this is a discount theater that is a lot of fun for the family but easy on the wallet. Today I took my daughters to the movie theather …
Swan City Car Show (2009)
This weekend is the annual Swan City Car show at Swan City Park in Beaver Dam, WI. And, as a father and soon to be father again, I am looking forward to it.

Michigan Renaissance Festival
I don’t know many people in my life who aren’t at least mildly interested in the idea of a renaissance festival. There’s something highly addictive about the idea of dressing up in renaissance and medieval clothing and gallavanting around with bagpipers playing, and eating a giant turkey leg while …
Keansburg, NJ Amusement Park
Keansburg. A city in Northern New Jersey, devastated by the superstorm Sandy. I had never heard about this place up until a week ago, when my sister invited me for a road trip up there, after purchasing a GROUPON for wristbands that gave us unlimited ride access.
Keansburg itself is …
Kings Dominion Stafford VA

Herberger Theater Center
Their web site says: experience the magic and they’re not kidding. A gorgeous theater, the type of place that you feel you should get dressed up for even if you’re simply seeing an afternoon Christmas play.
I have probably been to over fifty performances here in the past …
CineBlast
I had been to a ride like in a roller coaster ride, in a caterpillar rides, and other carnival rides that our country’s mall and themed park offers. But I had never been to a cinema simulation ride. Our cinema is just simply sitting and watching, but here in …
Knottsberry Farm
My family and I went to Knottsberry Farm this past May 2009. I didn’t know what to expect and was really surprised and what a great place Knottsberry Farms is. I really recommend it if you have young children.
First, it wasn’t nearly as crowded as other amusement …
South Pier Arcade - Lowestoft Sea Front
On a recent visit to Lowestoft with my son, I was anticipating quite a lot to do on the sea front as Duncan Bannatyne had visited here to help improve things a little.
I have to admit though, I struggled to really find what had been done as I didn’t …
Spirito Martini night club
Spirito Martini is one of the hottest clubs in Brussels. And there is something really distinctive with this one: the venue. SM used to be a church a few years ago. I think it was an Anglican one, though I am not sure at all about this info —“but …

Tutankhamun an the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, San Francisco
The 3000-year-old murder mystery of Tutankhamun has intrigued the whole world for more than 80 years, since Howard Carter discovered this boy King’s tomb in 1922. This was the first intact tomb of a Pharaoh to be discovered in modern times. Being an Ancient Egypt enthusiast, I had wished …

The Beatles Love (Showing at the Mirage)
This show was phenominal and definitely worth the price of admission. (We paid close to $150)

With Cirque de Solei and the Beatles music, it was an incredible experience.
This young cast incorporated modern …

The Femme Fatale Tour (Britney Spears)

Tao nightclub in Las Vegas
I honestly don’t have many nice things to say about Tao Nightclub in the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. I was very disappointed with club. I had really high hopes going in considering the long lines of people waiting outside. The one thing I did like …
The Front Yard, entertainment on St. John
You won’t find a menu or fancy surroundings at The Front Yard, because it’s basically a bar. You will find several pool tables, dart boards, and even a jukebox with music in the English language. That may sound funny to you, but between St. Thomas and St. …

Vue Cinema @ The O2, Greenwich
This cinema at the 02 is great. I didn’t have high hopes - I’ve been to other Vue cinemas and experienced huge queues to buy tickets, queues at the refreshments counter, queues to get into the screen (as they wait for cleaners between showings) and a learner projectionist fiddling …

Madonna
I have to say that Madonna, back in the day, totally rocked. She could sing, dance, everything. Now she can still do all of that, but she’s getting kind of old. I’m waiting for her to just retire. There will be no one like Madonna ever in the …
Dunia Fantasi, Jakarta, Indonesia
Dunia Fantasi, or often be called as Dufan, is an entertainment park located in Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, Lodan Timur Road no. 7.
I won’t tell you about the same thing about Dufan with any other entertainment park, as they both will have carousel, jet coaster, etc. I will …
Zouk Night Club Singapore
Zouk is a really popular place in Singapore. All night-clubers know this place and they would kill to enter this place at Saturday night. Literally.
The first time and maybe it would be the last time I went there was a big mistake. I went there on Saturday night …
Singapore Underwater world
My trip to Underwater World Singapore was fun. The admission fee is $22.90. I felt the cost was worthwhile. I saw brightly colored corals and exotic ocean dwellers (including moray eels, sea dragons and jelly fishes) Furthermore, I even have the chance to touch and feel the stingray myself …

Spamalot
We went to see Spamalot, which is a Broadway Musical, but we didn’t go to see it on Broadway - we saw the Canadian version, which is the same musical with a different cast.
Other than a few minor technical difficulties, it was a great show. I think people …
Six Flags
We went to Six Flags Maryland last year because my husband’s company rented the whole place for the annual family fun event that they give their employees as a treat. So our tickets were free and we were managed to bring along a couple more friends for free too. …
iPod Touch
Having an iPod touch is the closest thing to owning an iPhone. It has all the features except to call and take pictures. The bonus part is it only costs about P 10,000 compared to an iPhone which is about P35,000-40,000. I gave my husband an iPod touch as …

Maui Ocean Center - the Hawaiian Aquarium

Set into a hillside overlooking a …
Music 21 Plaza
It is a place where you’ll truly enjoy your day singing. A 3-hour session is not enough catching up a list of songs. Still, I’ve got the chance to stay there.
Upon entering the videoke lounge I already felt the night life. It was decorated with posters of musicians, …
