Universal Studios Singapore

Nacional 27 Chicago
Great atmosphere and aesthetics. Greeted by friednly personnelle. The host introduces herself and wishes you and your accompanying party a good evening. The menu is broad, and offers a wide variety of international delights. Service is painfully slow, and makes you wonder if the waitstaff actually swim to cuba …
Epcot Center Orlando FL
There are many mixed reviews written about Walt Disney World’s Epcot center, and many negative ones. It often gets called “boring,” or “tacky” or otherwise made out to be the most underwhelming of the Wally World parks. But personally, it’s my absolute favorite.
To be sure, …
Hustler Club Manhattan New York City

Saint-Petersburg Rodina (Motherland) movie theater
I love writing about places in Saint-Petersburg. However, there’s lots of amazing places the citizens know about and you can find a ton of information about them on Russian websites, but there is nothing written about them in English, which, in my opinion, should be fixed. So today I want …
Chuck E. Cheese
This is a great place to take the kids, and much cheaper then an amusement park (or even the Zoo, in my experience). It’s safer too.
As you walk in, there is a “kid check point”. Children aren’t allowed in, without an adult. You and your child(ren) …
Dodge County Fair 2006
For a while, my wife and I were talking about taking a week off and buying season passes to the Dodge County Fair this year. We’re glad we didn’t.

Vuvuzela-South African Sports Spectator Plastic Horn
While this little uniquely South African plastic horn adds a spectacular atmosphere during sports games, as was witnessed extensively throughout the 2010 FIFA World Cup games, it has sparked somewhat of a mixed feeling in me towards its exploits.

Most of my friends and acquaintances express shock that, as a person who has spent all by 6 years of my life living near Vancouver, BC, I have yet to cross Vancouver’s oldest tourist attraction, the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Built in the late 1880s, the footbridge is suspended across …
Chongdong Theater Seoul
At first I thought that this was the place where visitors could watch Korean traditional music and dance performance. As I am a traditional culture lover, I wanted to see the show.

Worldwide Festival, Sete, France
If you are going to attend the worldwide festival, Sete, France, then just be all prepared to get thoroughly fleeced by the bureau de change. Even if you are carrying just a mobile phone in your luggage, it can cause quite an alarm, because a mobile phone flashes red …

All in the Family The Complete Fourth Season
In my opinion, the fourth season of “All in the Family” is when the show really hit its stride. What helps make this season so memorable as well as comical is the introduction of George Jefferson played by Sherman Hemsley, as well as Irene Lorenzo played by Betty Garrett …
V - The Ultimate Variety Show, Las Vegas
On my first (and so far, only) trip to Las Vegas 3 months ago, we had the budget to see a single show, and were pretty torn on which it would be. Our initial choice, Stomp, was no longer performing in the area, so it was not an option. …
Master of Ceremonies Rental and Party Shop

Tower of London Ice Rink
Racking my brains for places to take my date, ice skating ranked top. I had been to one other ice rink in London-Queen’s Ice and Bowl-frankly not a romantic hotspot, more of a cheesy family ghetto.
Skating underneath the stars was more what I had in mind and Tower …
