Prince of Wales Theatre Celebrates the Beatles’ 50th Anniversary

Celebrate The Beatles’ 50th anniversary at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London, where the musical ‘Let It Be’ begins its run on September 14, 2012. The musical showcases more than 20 of The Beatles greatest hits performed live onstage by the Prince of Wales Theatre company and supported by a dizzying array of multimedia techniques, all of it highlighting the band’s evolution from party band to global superstars.

Fifty years ago, in a dark and foggy 1962, pop music’s greatest quartet (and Liverpool’s greatest product) was born at the 17th annual dance for a horticultural society. The band had just replaced their drummer and had barely two hours to practice before they were expected to get those gardeners dancing to rock ‘n’ roll tunes. A turn out two hours was all that John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr needed to form a cohesive musical unit, one whose legacy would last longer than the band ever could.

Today their songs are considered classics – often remade and reinterpreted by every new generation of pop star. You can hear the influence of “Love Me Do” or “A Hard Day’s Night” in many catchy radio smash hits. You can even sense the similarities of the drawn-out ending of “Hey Jude” or the psychedelic ambiance of “Strawberry Fields Forever” in many post-rock experiments of cutting-edge bands. The Beatles were able to create timeless music and keep improving that music as they matured in their song writing and in their worldview.

The historic Prince of Wales Theatre in London’s West End will be ground zero for reliving all the excitement of The Beatles music. When the curtains are drawn for Let It Be, theatre-goers will once again experience the electric energy of a live performance by the Fab Four.

The Prince of Wales Theatre on Coventry Street has a long and colourful history of showcasing cutting-edge talent and unique shows ever since it first opened its doors in January of 1884. Today, the Prince of Wales Theatre is owned by Sir Cameron Mackintosh, who completed a total renovation in 2004 and brought the historical building into the 21st century with its increased seating capacity and modern fixtures.

Amsterdam Cycling

Most could summon up half a dozen adjectives about Amsterdam’s culture or people without ever mentioning the cycling. It might even come as a surprise that on a city break to Amsterdam, you’re truly in a cyclist’s city. A hardy breed of cyclist, come rain or ice, snowy or slush Amsterdammers are out on their bikes.

If you’re a bit wobbly on your bike, it’s probably best to stick to the summer months (when there’s less chance of you falling into the canal). There are plenty of bike rental shops around town; Orange bikes are one such company, based near to Amsterdam’s centre in Singel.

Everywhere you look

Readily available everywhere within the city, and something of a cultural emblem, there are an astonishing estimated six hundred thousand bikes in Amsterdam. Between 6,000 and 10,000 of these bikes are dredged out of the city’s famous canals every year by the city’s municipal service. Many a local will stress the importance of locking up one’s bike wherever you are in the city!

The fastest way to get around

Compared to cyclists and motorists in the UK, who live in uneasy coexistence, as many as 40% of Amsterdam’s city dwellers cycle on a daily basis. A visit to the ‘Venice of the north’ will show any motorist that getting about in the city’s charming historic infrastructure is in fact made far easier (not to mention quicker) with the use of a bike.

Make a statement

All year long around this city you will likely see cyclists whizzing by, not a cycling pant or (regrettable in some cases) a helmet in sight. An international fashion capital since 2004, the locals take being seen on bike very seriously, so get into fashion mode when you’re cycling around. A bold statement colour or patterned winter coat will ensure pedestrians see you coming, and decorating one’s bike accordingly is a must too. In Amsterdam the style is casual, but still eye catching – no lycra here. Save that for the clubs.

See it all

Renting a bike in this wonderful city you’ll find you get around see more of it. Within the inner city area (centrum) Amsterdam is dominated by her beautiful UNESCO-listed canals, meaning cars are not afforded much room at all. In fact getting around by car takes twice as long on average as it would do by bike, and parking a car in this city of hardy cyclists doesn’t even bear thinking about.

Stay in…

The Okura Hotel Amsterdam, with its panoramic views from their Michelin star restaurant, you’ll get an eyeful of the city herself with easy access to both the museum quarter and Vondelpark. 3 nights from £231pp.

Top tips for cyclists:

Because the city of Amsterdam is a relatively small, you might be able to circle the entire canal ring in an afternoon – failing that, both gorgeous Vondelpark and Hortus Botanicus (botanical gardens) will give you a taste of the great Dutch outdoors.

Booking with easyJet holidays the flights and hotel are both included in the price – so you can spend your cash on something cool in one of the city’s fantastic markets.

Universal Studios Arrives in Singapore

Universal Studios is the latest big attraction to arrive in Singapore and is already proving to be a huge hit among both Singaporeans and visitors to the island nations. Universal Studios opened in 2011 and can be found on Sentosa Island, which is Singapore’s picturesque playground.

There are a number of different ways to reach Universal Studios. The most straight forward way is to take the aerial train, which connects with Singapore’s underground rail network. Regular buses are also available to take visitors over to Sentosa Island, while people who feel like stretching their legs can wander over to the island on foot by walking along the specially built promenade. However, by far the most stunning way to reach Sentosa Island and Universal Studios is by purchasing a ticket for one of the cable cars that take passengers high above the island, offering stunning panoramic views along the way.

After arriving at Sentosa Island visitors will see clearly marked signs pointing the way to the entrance of this special film-themed pleasure park. Universal Studios Singapore tickets can be bought on the day from one of the ticket counters at the entrance to the park. However, people who want to skip the queues can also purchase their tickets in advance.

In total, Universal Studios Singapore features a total of twenty rides, five of which are roller coasters and two of which are water rides. Some of the most popular rides in the theme park include Pantages Hollywood Theater, the wet and wild Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, Dino-Soarin’ and the live stunt show named Waterworld after the blockbusting film. The park is laid out in seven different themed zones, namely Hollywood, New York, Sci-fi City, Ancient Egypt, The Lost World, Far Far Away and Madagascar.

One of the best things about Universal Studios Singapore is that queues tend to be much shorter than at its American counterpart, especially on week days. Once visitors have paid the admission price they are free to enjoy whichever rides and attractions they choose. However, simply wandering through the different zones of the theme park and soaking up the atmosphere is an enriching atmosphere.

Universal Studios Singapore features rides that people of all ages can enjoy. Fans of the Shrek films will be able to witness a brand new 4-D version of the film, while people want to discover how special effects are created should check out Lights! Camera! Action! Hosted by Steven Spielberg. Thrill seekers can enjoy wild roller coasters such as Battlestar Galactica: HUMAN, Transformers: The Ride and Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride, while younger children are sure to love more sedate rides such as the Treasure Hunters vintage car ride

5 Nasty Surprises to Prepare for before Booking a Hotel in San Francisco

San Francisco is a beautiful city and I highly recommend a visit to anyone who’s interested in exploring the United States’ finest urban environments. That being said it’s important to do your research before you book the first cheap hotel you happen to stumble across on the internet. Here are 5 important things to keep an eye out for when you’re booking your hotel.

Parking

Parking in a major city will catch anyone from a smaller or more sprawled environment completely by surprise. Parking your car at your hotel all day can cost you nearly 50 dollars a day, so if you’re driving you’ll want to avoid the most expensive areas at all costs. The easiest way to solve this problem is to fly into San Francisco and then use public transportation which is much cheaper. Considering the cost of gasoline nowadays it’s usually cheaper to fly rather than drive anyway.

Neighborhood

San Francisco has beautiful neighborhoods and less beautiful ones. Even some of the more upscale hotels are located in relatively shady areas and you should always make sure that you’re comfortable setting foot outside the door of the place that you’re staying, especially if you’re going to be doing a lot of walking or waiting at the nearby bus stop. To find out what kind of vibe your hotel’s neighborhood has you should find a website with extensive customer review sections like this sanfranciscohotelguides.com, a San Francisco hotel site and check out what other people experienced.

Proximity to your Goal

Lots of hotel websites divide hotels up by their proximity to a specific part of town. Know what you’d like to see well beforehand so that you can plan for where you want to stay. While walking is great for you in general it can be tiresome and dangerous if you have to go walking for miles in the wrong part of town. If you already know that you don’t want to lodge near your intended visitation areas because of high prices you should make sure to work out plans for transportation before your arrival or you might find yourself stuck with incredibly overpriced taxis.

Hidden Fees

If the reviews mention random hidden fees but don’t specify what they are you should call the hotel. Be as nosy as possible. Find out exactly what they offer and ask specifically if each item costs extra. The last thing you want is to show up at your hotel ready to work on your big presentation for tomorrow only to find that getting wifi access costs something like 30 dollars a night, not unlike buying your own modem and router for a month.

Shady Hotels

The Hotel staff aren’t always what make a hotel shady, though of course they can. Always wary of hotels that get reviews about people who’s reservations get “lost” and are forced to buy another room. Also I like to place truly low quality and unsanitary lodgings in this category. Watch out for reviews about bed

bugs, smoke, loud noises, and hostile staff. Little motels at the outskirts of town tend to be the worst offenders, so make sure you do your research.

The Insight of Hindsight: Things you Should Bring on a Trip

You never know what you forgot to bring till you’re stuck in Prague without your bank information after you get your wallet stolen by a pickpocket, or you trip and break a leg to find that you don’t have a phone to call for help. To help you figure out what it is you’re forgetting, or to give you ideas about things you didn’t even think of bringing, here are some important travel items that I’ve found myself short of.

Extra Socks

This one looks strange to anyone who hasn’t actually run out of socks while traveling. Really it extends to other laundry as well, but socks smell, so they get the bolded line. Doing laundry on your trip is a chore better avoided. For a long term trip this is unavoidable, but carrying a week’s worth of clothes isn’t too ridiculous. There is nothing quite as dissatisfying as getting up in the morning in the middle of your grand tour of Europe to find that you have no socks to put on but the reeking crusty filth of the previous day.

Fingernail Clippers

You never realize how much your nails grow until you find yourself with no tools to trim them with. Besides what if you get a nasty hangnail? No one forgets their toothbrush, but other personal grooming equipment can be forgotten when you’re too busy worrying about having your passport and visa sorted out before your trip.

Books

Before traveling we always focus on the adventure, the excitement. We never stop to think that we’re going to be sitting in a seat for 20 hours when flying across the ocean, or that there might be any down time to relax on our trip. Of course as soon as we leave we remember just how boring the times in between the good times get when you’re out there. A good book can kill 10 hours or more, even if you’re a fast reader, and is great for taking your mind off the stress that comes with all traveling.

Duct Tape

Inevitably, your bag will break. Whether it’s a zipper, a strap, or the handle, having your stuff falling out or just not being able to carry the thing effectively anymore are a huge pain in the rear that no one wants to deal with. Duct tape to the rescue! You tape it up real good and just keep on going. It doesn’t look too pretty, but it does make you look prepared. Travel is all about function over form.

Local Phone

For any kind of longer stay it’s important that you get a phone. Don’t get a real fancy one, just a cheap disposable piece of junk is plenty for calling the police or ambulance if you run into serious trouble. Depending on where you are there might not be anyone around to help you.

Never underestimate the value of these few items and your travels will be smoother than mine have been. It is always worth it to bring this stuff, and claiming a lack of space in your bag as an excuse is not valid. Get another bag if you have to.

Interested in a trip to Chennai ?

For those looking for a holiday in India which offers something a little different, and opens the doorway to a unique culture filled with fascinating historical sites alongside modern city life, the city of Chennai will provide all of this, and much more. Formerly known as Madras, Chennai is now affectionately referred to as ‘the gateway to South India’ and is the successful port which acts as the capital of the diverse state of Tamil Nadu. If Chennai is known for one thing, it is a diversity and richness of culture, with a long history of Indian arts, literature, dance and theatre which thrives to this day and delights locals and visitors alike. A trip to Chennai will offer experiences a world away from other large cities in India such as Delhi or Mumbai, as the vibrant Tamil culture permeates through every street, and this city brings together urban, coastal and jungle cultures in a pulsing, yet harmonious vibe.

A Cultural Capital

For the culturally minded, Chennai is a hotspot for a range of unique theatrical practices which can be seen and enjoyed all year round. One of the most important symbolic practices in the city is the native art of the Bharatanatyam, a form of theatre famous for its elegant poses, complex dances and beautiful Carnatic music played on traditional instruments such as the thattukuzhi and mannai, a form of Indian drum. In dozens of theatres throughout Chennai, you can witness exclusive performances of this beautiful theatrical dance, complete with religious ceremonies dedicated to Ganesh and lengthy epic poetry recitals which date back almost three thousand years.

For those looking for more contemporary culture, few can resist the vibrancy and seduction of the Tamil movie scene, known as ‘Kollywood’, where the latest film technologies blend traditional storytelling and dance with action sequences and epic romances. Chennai has several renowned movie theatres, but ask any local, and they will tell you that by far the best is the Sathyam Cinema, situated in the heart of the city and famed for its quality, range of films on show and exquisite, high class service, food and drinks.

Beautiful Temples and Oases of Calm

If you are seeking some spiritual respite from the thronging heart of the city, head out to the district of Mylapore where you can find one of the most impressive, and one of the oldest temples dedicated to Lord Shiva anywhere in India. Just a 20 minute taxi ride from the city centre, this temple represents everything wonderful about the state of Tamil Nadu; unique architectural styles, bright and entrancing colours, complexity of design and live devotional music and dance performed each and every night. A visit to the ancient Kapaleeshwar temple will truly provide a once in a lifetime experience – seeing the devotees milling around the altars of Shiva, Hanuman and Ganesh, bathing in the sacred waters and connecting with the colourful and joyful nature of their culture is something which can truly never be forgotten.

The Chennai Coast

It would be something of a travesty to come to this stunning part of coastal India and not make the most of the oceanic landscape which makes it unique. Nowhere can you get closer to the sea and its bounty than with the help of the fishermen of Barracuda Bay, who now regularly set of tours of the coastline and even allow you to do a spot of sport fishing. Just two kilometres from the district of Royapuram, near the centre of Chennai, the waters around here provide some of the finest fish which characterises the cuisine, and the chance to catch one could be a real thrill set against some beautiful scenery.

Hotels in Chennai

As a buzzing and thriving urban centre, there are dozens of hotels in Chennai which can provide you and your family with everything you need to really make the most of the city. With elegant and high class hotels such as the Raintree Hotel in Teynampet near central Chennai, you can enjoy all the finer things of Chennai culture alongside a relaxing rest in gorgeous settings. There are also several Radisson Blu hotels in Chennai which are ideal for a business trip or short break, and dozens of friendly and rustic guesthouses where you can get to know the famous hospitality of the region.
