The town itself is no more than a couple of streets so the hostel is within easy walking distance from everything. Attractions near Casa de Arena in Huacachina Huacachina is a purpose built town in the middle of vast sanddunes. A trip here is therefore not complete without going sandboarding and taking a ride in a dune buggy. Both of these activities are a lot of fun but be prepared to get sand in ...

Although there was no visible evidence of the Hotel being a shithole, it was dark and felt a bit damp. What else did Hotel Kuelap in Chachapoyas offer?

On all his previous CDs post American Idol, he's been milking his boyish, Pee-Wee-esque persona, happy to satisfy both the teenie-boppers and their wannabe moms. On this release, though, young Clayton is trying to mature. Sadly, it seems he's playing dress-up in his father's clothes, without realizing he's just playing. On songs like 'Ashes,' Aiken is full of angst, sadness, and remorse (lately this has become the standard emotional cocktail for young, ... Tue, 13 May 2008 12:10:19 BST editorial@realbuzz.com 150212008-05-13 12:10:19 http://www.realbuzz.com/en-gb/RSS/index?pageID=15020 Momofuku is a Japanese restaurant in lower Manhattan. According to an article in last week's New York Times, to eat there, one must have a reservation, and one can only get reservations the day of, at exactly ten in the morning. At ten-oh-one, all the spots will have been filled. They specialize in noodles, I think. Otherwise I'm not quite sure of the word's origin or etymology. It may be a loose derivative of a certain epithet against one's mother, but I doubt it. Did Elvis Costello really name his latest CD after a trendy restaurant in New York City? I doubt that, ...

Director: David Mamet Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alice Braga, Tim Allen Length: 99 minutes Redbelt synopsis Mike Terry (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is principled. Which is too bad, because living according to his code has put him in debt, put his wife (Alice Braga) and her business in debt, forced other people to live according to his code, indirectly put other people into debt and indirectly driven other people to suicide. I'm not exactly sure what his code is, but it's definitely based upon honor. And there's a ...

Chiang Mai is a lovely little place where it's nice to be able to walk around and not be hassled by Tuk tuk drivers constantly! The hostel is a short walk away from the markets which in my mind is a good thing...when you're thinking along the lines of ...
