Holiday destination decisions cause stress.
on: December 06, 2007, 02:11:28 PM
I am trying to decide and do so quickly at that, whether I should spend two weeks in England where my brother currently resides, or in Israel, where I have a dozen cousins and a hundred or so friends.

In London I get free accomadation, in Israel I might but would have to move around lot from person to person. Or I could stay in a youth hostel or back packers. Either way my
South african Rand doesnt help much a 13.5 rands to 1 pound. But ill manage.

I think I might do London. Quite stressful. I've never planned a holiday before. Especially with less than a month to do it.

Is London/England a nice place to holiday?

London used to be a nice place, but uncontrolled immigration has turned it into a bit of a crime hotspot. New York is considerably safer nowadays.

Saying that, the city has something for everyone, especially if you like museums many of which now have free entry.

If you do go to London, come and visit me as i am only 20 miles away. We can share a few jars and pull some crumpet.

I decided to go all out and will do time in London and then Israel and then back home to South Africa. Optimized solution!!!

Look forward to seeing you old chap.

I will take you to my favourite snooker club. It hardly ever closes and the beer is lovely.

All the girl players are from the Isle of Lesbos, but you cannot have everything.

The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more
