Blessed with a dry, sunny climate, beautiful gardens and a laidback vibe, Christchurch is shaking off its "old school England" image with a year-round programme of free festivals and cultural activities. A highlight for the summer is the World Buskers Festival (19-29 January); see www.bethere.org.nz for details.
You can reach Christchurch in one hop from Heathrow on Air New Zealand (0800 028 4149; www.airnewzealand.co.uk) via Los Angeles or Singapore Airlines (0870 608 8886; www.singapore air.co.uk) via Singapore. Emirates (0870 243 2222; www.emirates.com) flies daily from Birmingham, Gatwick, Heathrow, Manchester and Glasgow via Dubai and Sydney.
From Christchurch's modest airport, the Red Bus City Flyer (00 64 3 379 4260; www.redbus.co.nz/flyer.htm) departs for Cathedral Square (1) every 12 minutes; NZ$7 (£2.75) one way, NZ$12 (£4.70) return.
Any British visitor will be struck by the abundance of English and colonial place names radiating out from Cathedral Square (1): Durham, Gloucester, Hereford streets, to name but a few. The main drags are Worcester (running east-west) and Colombo (north-south) streets. The former cuts through the Square towards Hagley Park. Colombo Street stretches all the way to the Port Hills, a wild wonderland of walking and biking trails. For details on exploring them and other city highlights, the Christchurch visitor centre (00 64 3 379 9629; www.christchurchnz.net) is in the south-west corner of the Square.
The George (2) at 50 Park Terrace (00 64 3 379 4560; www.info.thegeorge.com) is the city's premier boutique hotel, and boasts two of Christchurch's top restaurants (Pescatore and 50 on Park). Double rooms from NZ$320 (£130); breakfast is an extra NZ$28 (£11) per person.
Behind the cathedral at 115 Worcester Street is Hotel Off the Square (3) (00 64 3 374 9980, www.offthesquare.com), with suites of a rather lurid hue. Doubles from NZ$135 (£54), excluding breakfast.
A cosier option is Homelea (4) at 195 Bealey Avenue (00 64 3 379 9977, www.homelea.co.nz ), a characterful Edwardian B&B run by two classical musicians. It's a 15-minute walk to Cathedral Square. Double rooms from NZ$100 (£40).
Head west through the Square, passing the oversized chess set and the Edwardian Regent Theatre, now a cinema. Cross the Avon River via the 1885 Worcester Street Bridge (5), turn left and pass the 1872 Canterbury Club (6), a gentlemen's club whose hitching post is a reminder of the city's early days as a sheep-farming service town. Follow the river around to the Antigua Boatsheds (7), then turn right into Rolleston Avenue, next to Hagley Park, the location for the wonderful Botanic Gardens and Canterbury Museum (8 ). Back on Worcester Street, the 1876 Gothic former Canterbury University buildings where the physicist Ernest Rutherford first studied now house the Arts Centre (9), and are the site of a thriving weekend market ( see Window Shopping). Opposite the Arts Centre is the new Christchurch Art Gallery (10), whose collection includes a fine selection of colonial art.
An influx of students from the Far East in the 1990s saw a swathe of sushi and noodle bars appear. These days, expats and locals alike crowd the sparsely furnished Cookai (11) at 172A Manchester Street (00 64 3 366 8688), which serves brilliant sushi, sashimi and noodles (from NZ$5/£2). If you fancy a picnic in Victoria Square (12), pick up a salad or sandwich from The Daily Grind (13), a café on the corner of New Regent and Armagh streets (00 64 3 377 4959).
To extend your knowledge of Maori culture beyond the haka, then Ko Tane at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve (15 ) (00 64 3 359 6226; www.willowbank.co.nz/kotane) is the place to do it. Elders and performers sensitively introduce visitors to Maori legend, arts and spirituality through song and dance, concluding with a walk through a nocturnal bird house to see the shy, rather dowdy national emblem, the kiwi. Shows run at 5.30pm and 6.30pm daily and cost from NZ$36 (£14). Book the Attractions Black Bus at the visitor centre in the Square, which will get you out to the reserve in time for the show.
Many of the city's denizens like to whoop it up on noisy riverside pubs and cafés along Oxford Terrace (aka "the Strip", but not quite as dazzling as Las Vegas). Barcelona (00 64 3 377 2100) is one of its more sophisticated establishments, and offers organic food, tapas, a good wine list and local beer. For a more civilised start to the evening (its name notwithstanding), Le Plonk (16) at 213 Manchester Street (00 64 3 377 7724) offers a superb selection of New Zealand wines try the Daniel Schuster pinot noir (NZ$12/£4.70) and live jazz most nights of the week. Almost all pubs, clubs and bars are open at least until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays, and until midnight the rest of the week.
Indochine's (17) ravishing Asian-inspired cocktails keeps this black lacquered restaurant and bar on 209 Cambridge Terrace (00 64 3 365 7323, www.indochine.co.nz) humming most nights of the week. More a fun, buzzy eatery than fine dining, its fusion menu and attentive service propelled it to New Zealand Restaurant of the Year shortlist. Perch on stools overlooking the Avon, nestle into booths while nibbling prawn and pork dumplings with peanut sauce or enjoy a romantic dinner à deux.
On a visit to the city in 1934, George Bernard Shaw was full of praise for its beautiful cathedral. But he wasn't talking about the one in the Square (1); rather, the Neo-Classical Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament (18) (00 64 3 377 5610; www.christchurchcathedral.org.nz) on Barbadoes Street. Mass is celebrated four times every Sunday, but turn up at 10.30am and you'll hear the choir singing anything from Palestrina to Poulenc. There is an orchestral mass at least once a month; on Christmas Eve you can hear Schubert's Mass in C.
Coffee has become an obsession for Kiwis in recent years, in particular the search for the perfect "flat white" essentially a strong latte with a smooth, creamy topping. The Savoy Brown (19) at 143 High Street (00 64 3 365 7262) is a new café in a revamped former red-light district; nibble a homemade lemon tartlet (NZ$3/£1.20) and peruse glossy lifestyle magazines. Or follow the smell of roasting beans to C1 (20) at number 150 (00 64 3 366 7370), whose grungy decor and staff belie its reputation for the freshest coffee in town, with a vegetarian-friendly all-day menu.
Stay on High Street, which has become a hotbed of cutting-edge emporia, ranging from one-off fashion at Tango (21), European imports at Embellish, antiques, vintage clothing and second hand books. For souvenirs and one-off Kiwiana, head to the Arts Centre (9) weekend market (00 64 3 366 0989; www.artscentre.org.nz), where you'll find possum-wool socks, handmade jumpers, greenstone jewellery, bone carvings, toys, food and fine art; 10am-4pm Saturday and Sunday. Failing that, the city's venerable old department store Ballantynes(22) in City Mall has an excellent homewares department, including beautiful New Zealand mohair throws from NZ$120 (£47).
... up the river on a Sunday afternoon. The willow-lined Avon skirts Hagley Park, and you can join a Punting in the Park guided tour through the Botanic Gardens at the Antigua Boatsheds (7), 2 Cambridge Terrace (00 64 3 366 0337, www.punting.co.nz). Tours cost NZ$16 (£6.30).
Cork or screwcap? The debate rages on in the global wine industry, but food writer Mavis Airey's outstanding personalised Taste Canterbury tours (00 64 3 326 6753) give an insight into the burgeoning fine wine and food industry in the region. The Waipara tour is especially recommended, which includes a tasting at the Muddy Water winery; from NZ$100 (£40) per person for a half-day tour.

Eurovision 2016 – And so it begins!
Hello Dear Readers!
Officially, Eurovision kicks off at the end of March when all the competing countries have to turn in their official entries (and all related media). But, National Finals season, the period where each competing country selects its entry, has begun! Typically, Albania kicks things off with Festivali i Këngës, held annually around Christmas Day. However, a growing number of countries have decided on an artist, a song, or both earlier and earlier. As of January 1, 2016, eight countries (Armenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Cyprus, Georgia, Macedonia, Montenegro, The Netherlands, and Russia) have selected an artist and one (Albania) has an artist and song selected. Germany had an artist selected, but, due to his controversial history, decided to go in another direction. A new artist has yet to be selected.
Yes! You read that correctly, Bosnia & Herzegovina is finally returning to the Contest after a three year absence! And it's not alone. Bulgaria, Croatia, and Ukraine are returning to the Contest! Bulgaria and Croatia each last competed in 2013, and Ukraine last competed in 2014. Sadly, Turkey is not making a return after early rumors that it would. And, due to financial restraints, Portugal is once again withdrawing from the ESC.
Unsurprisingly, Australia was invited to return as a regular contender. Though, since they are no longer a guest, the country will have to compete in the semi-finals and hope to qualify for the Grand Final. I predict that there will be another song from Down Under on Saturday night.
Equally as unsurprising, SVT, this year's host broadcaster, has announced that there will be two hosts this year, the popular Petra Mede (who hosted the ESC solo in 2013) as well as last year's winning performer Måns Zelmerlöw (who has several hosting gigs under his belt, including Melodifestivalen). The Green Room host (if there is to be one) has yet to be announced.
Those are the biggest news stories thus far for ESC2016, but as the National Finals begin in earnest, more news will surely break! Stay tuned for my post about my hopes and expectations for Stockholm from a fan standpoint as well as from that of an attendee.

Playlist of the Week: Eurovision for Balladeers!
Happy New Year, Dear Readers!
May this year bring you much love to light your lives, much hope to embolden your spirits, and laughter to brighten your days (and nights)!
This week, we turn our gaze to the most notorious of ESC genres: ballads! Historically, "ballads" were stories that were sung. People who sung these stories were called "troubadours" (much like the title of Dutch winner from 1969). Over time, the term "ballad" became more associated with the musical style than the lyrical content, particularly since most were stories love.
The music style is typified, generally, by a slow pace, a lack of musical complexity, and usually only one (or two) primary vocalist. Since the beginning, this has been the dominant musical genre of ESC entries, to the chagrin of some (who prefer more uptempo songs), but to the joy of many! This week, for the final Playlist of the Week, the focus is on ballads.
Once again, twenty songs from the Televoting Era (post 1998) of the Eurovision Song Contest. I curated this list to provide an array of ballads, some are the traditional story style, most are slow, heartfelt love songs. All are ballads. Enjoy!

Fun Trivia
- While animals are not allowed on the stage, puppets are; and in 2008, Ireland sent their humorous comedy puppet Dustin the Turkey.
- While the title of the 1963 winner from Denmark, Dansevise, translates to "dance song," the first, truly uptempo song to win the Contest was 1965's Poupé de Cire, Poupée de Son from Luxembourg (which is featured on my playlist Eurovision for Beginners).
- Of the 63 winners in Eurovision history through 2015 (remember, four songs won in 1969), only 29 (46%) have been moderate to uptempo. Thirteen of which (45%) of those came in the televoting era (1998 to today).
- Greece and Turkey are, generally, the most renowned for their ethnic-pop infused dance numbers. Highlights include: Greece – 2001, 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2013; Turkey – 1999, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2012.

Missed last week? Eurovision for Anglophobes
Next Week: Eurovision for Rockers (prepare for a lot of Finland and Turkey!)
Playlist of the Week: Eurovision for Anglophobes
Hello Dear Readers!
Language has had a tough time at the Eurovision Song Contest. Songs could be in any language until the language rule was adopted in 1966; from that point on, songs had to be in an official language of the participating country. The rule was abolished from 1973-1977, but re-implemented from 1978. As the breadth of countries increased, the EBU saw a need to allow more freedom for participants. Starting in 1999, countries have since been able to compete in any language they wish. Almost immediately, English became the predominant language of the Contest, with a few holdouts (namely France and Portugal) generally sending entries in their own languages. Many choose to sing in English to broaden the appeal of their song; additionally, many argue that the language rule favors countries with English as an official language (the UK, Ireland, and Malta) and cite the unprecedented success of both Ireland and the UK in the 90s as examples. Interestingly enough, the only year that televoting and the language rule overlap, 1998, a non-English song (Diva, which was in Hebrew) won; however, all three English entries finished in the Top Ten.
Whether you long for the days of national languages appearing in full force or you just enjoy the breadth of diversity of the Contest, this week's playlist is for you! It features 20 fan favorite (and personal favorite) entries of the Televoting-era (1998 onwards) that do not contain a single word in English. Enjoy!
Find the playlist here: Eurovision for Anglophobes
Spain 2001 – Dile Que la Quiero performed by David Civera
One of Spain's most popular and successful entries, this song decisively won Spain's national selection and came in 6th place in Copenhagen. The song is a declaration of love and loyalty.
Slovenia 2002 – Samo Ljubezen performed by Sestre
As discussed in last week's playlist, Dana International's victory opened for more LGBTQ culture on the ESC stage. Sestre was a musical group comprised of three of Slovenia's top drag queens. The title translates to "Only Love" and the song calls for everyone to love everyone else.
Belgium 2003 – Sanomi performed by Urban Trad
The infamous imaginary language entry, Sanomi came second to Turkey by two points in one of the closest Contests in history. There have been one and a half other entries in constructed languages. The Netherlands sent Amambanda in 2006, which was sung partially in Dutch and partially in a fictional language. Belgium again sent an imaginary language entry in 2008, O Julissi, but it failed to get out of its semi-final.
Russia 2003 – Ne Ver', Ne Boisia performed by t.A.T.u.
The infamous t.A.T.u. took to the stage for Russia, one of the few artists to compete at the height of their popularity. Coming in third, a mere three points from first place Turkey, there's a lot that can be said about this entry. Focusing on the language, it's worth noting that was only in Russian due to an error made by the delegation. This song, like much of t.A.T.u's work, talks about standing out and against a society trying to tear you down.
Serbia & Montenegro 2004 – Lane Moje performed by Željko Joksimović
Winning the semi-final, but ultimately coming second in 2004, Lane Moje was the song that introduced the Contest (and the continent) to one of its most popular and successful stars: Željko Joksimović. He went on to compose three other Top Ten entries (BiH2006, SER2008, SER2012), Montenegro's second qualifying and best placing entry (2015), and co-hosted the Contest in 2008, the first year with two semi-finals. Like every song composed by Jooksimović for the Contest, Lane Moje is about heartbreak and longing for a lost love.
Andorra 2006 – Sense Tu performed by Jennifer
My favorite Andorran entry, this song is sultry, its performance was sexy, and its lyrics tell a good story. Unfortunately, it finished last in the semi-final. This entry is a song of empowerment, as Jennifer sings about moving on from a bad relationship.
Cyprus 2007 – Comme Çi, Comme Ça performed by Evridiki
Rarely does a country submit a song in a language that is neither its own nor English. 2007 saw three such entries – Romania (which contained six languages), Latvia (sung in Italian), and Cyprus' French language rock song. Despite not qualifying for the Final, this entry is one of the most popular from the 2007 ESC and from Cyprus, winning several fan awards after the Contest. The song describes a so-so (bland) relationship that has grown stale and Evridiki's intentions of leaving because of it.
Bulgaria 2007 – Voda performed by Elitsa Todorova & Stoyan Yankoulov
The one and only entry from Bulgaria to qualify for the Grand Final, Voda features two of the most prominent percussionist in the country. The song stands out for its trance composition and the traditional folk style of the singing. It finished fourth in Helsinki. The song, written in a folk tradition, is about s search for life's meaning using thirsting after water as a metaphor.
Portugal 2008 – Senhora do Mar (Negras Águas) performed by Vânia Fernandes
The first time that Portugal ever qualified from a semi-final, this haunting song sparked a three year run of qualifications for the much maligned country. The song captures the painful sorrow of a woman waiting for her husband to return from going out to sea – much appropriate for Fernandes, who is from an island off the coast of Portugal.
Spain 2008 – Baila Chiki Chiki performed by Rodolfo Chikilicuatre
One of the most pronounced gimmick entries to take the ESC stage, Baila Chiki Chiki is fun song crafted by its comedian artist. It teaches a four part dance to the audience.
Bosnia & Herzegovina 2009 – Bistra Voda performed by Regina
The second Bosnian song to the Macel Bezençon Composer Award, this rock entry is perhaps the biggest fan favorite from the country. Despite lyrics that may or may not harken back to the days of Communism, the song remains a Contest classic.
France 2009 – S'Il Fallait le Faire performed by Patricia Kaas
One of the most popular and well-known singers from France, Patricia Kaas performed the song that most recently landed France in the Top Ten. The tale of all-consuming love was a major favorite among the juries.
Greece 2010 – Opa! performed by Giorgos Alkaios & Friends
The first Greek entry in Greek since the language rule was lifted, maintained the nation's streak of Top Ten placings. Interestingly enough, Giorgos Alkaios, who is much better known for his ballads, wrote this song of overcoming the past with the hopes of finding a new young artist to sing it. Not finding a suitable performer, he took the song to Oslo, himself.
Finland 2010 – Tyolla Elää performed by Kuunkuiskaajat
A fun song, this is the most recent entry to take the stage in Finnish. Despite having a large fan following, the song failed to make the Grand Final.
Albania 2012 – Suus performed by Rona Nishliu
The only song with a title in Latin in ESC history, this song shattered perceptions about what "a ESC song" should sound like. Nishliu's unique voice conveys heartache like few others.
Macedonia 2012 – Crno i Belo performed by Kaliopi
One of the few qualifications for Macedonia, Crno i Belo marks the return of Kaliopi who was the singer of the Macedonian song in the 1996 preselection, Samo Ti. This song was written by her ex-husband and is, understandably, about a fracturing relationship.
Italy 2013 – L'Essenziale performed by Marco Mengoni
A epic song of love, this entry was third consecutive Top Ten finish for Italy. Mengoni insisted that the song remain wholly in Italian, making it the first to do so since Italy's return in 2011.
Hungary 2013 – Kedvedsem (Zoohacker Remix) performed by Bye.Alex
Only Hungary's third Top Ten song, Kedvedsem was wildly popular for its catchy melody and easy to sing-along to lyrics. The title translates to "Sweetheart" and is a love song to the unique girl that captured Bye.Alex's heart.
Montenegro 2014 – Moj Svijet performed by Sergej Ćetković
The first-ever Montenegrin to qualify for the Grand Final. This gentle song talks of a world of peace, understanding, and love. The performance also features a dancer on rollerblades made to look like an ice skater.
France 2014 – Moustache performed by TWIN TWIN
The first time ever that France finished in last place, this rap song tells the story of man who has everything but the one thing he wants: a mustache.
Honorable Mention: Italy 2015, Portugal 2014, France 2013, Finland 2012, Estonia 2012, Austria 2012, Estonia 2009, Russia 2009, Albania 2008, Latvia 2007, Slovenia 2007
Fun Trivia
The United Kingdom, despite having a vast array of languages represented within its population has never submitted a song that was not in English.
Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan are the only countries to never submit a song that was not at least partially in a national language.
Ireland and Malta have only strayed from English once.
Sweden and Denmark have clauses where winning songs must be translated into English regardless of the original language of the entry.
Finland's most recent non-English song was När Jag Blundar, which was sung in Swedish!

Okay, I have to vent somewhere so I will vent here. One of my pet peeves is when people who took 1 class or are taking one class of ASL and list ASL as one of the languages they know on facebook. Really? I saw one of my former students do this and this particular student could barely introduce themself!
You don't list the language unless you are fluent in it.

This is a good place if you want a hearty country meal . It is buffet style with no limits on anything . They always have a good selection of meats and sides as well as a salad bar and desserts . You won't leave hungry .
Tried this place at the spur of the moment on a trip. Hard to find as very few places in Lancaster display a street address. Some confusion on entering as what I thought was the line waiting on a table was actually the line waiting to pay. There was a board with a hand-written menu. The place was actually a... More
A hidden gem in Lancaster SC. This family owned restaurant is clearly a well run enterprise. The food is reasonably priced and truly Southern. Suitable for families.
The southern cooking buffet is amazing and loaded with everything you would expect from mac and cheese to fried chicken!
Today was a slow service visit(Debbie). Food was good as usual. To me the salmon patties didn't have a crunchy exterior coating, very moist on the interior. Country food usually with a delightful atmosphere. Good for seeing people you have worked with. This location is owned and operated locally. Very busy every time we come. I would have like to... More
Nice n cozy family restaurant.....food was great n reasonable for soul food prices....the mac n cheese....yummy boy ya tummy....the gentleman at the front desk was courteous n interactive with his customers....
Always a great selection of meats and vegetables. The yams are the best! Very friendly staff and if you would rather not eat of the bar, the hamburgers are the best in town.
Great southern style food. Fried chicken is great! Lots of veggie to choose from. Different meats everyday
It has been a while ,maybe 8 months or so since we ate at Mulley's, they could of changed some things but if not the following is what you will encounter.I am handicapped, using a walker, there wasn't room to navigate around the tables or the food line.

Forums >News and Announcements>Garmin Forerunner Integration completed
Hi, Eric. For the most part this has been working great. Today, for an "other" type of activity (we were skiing), I tried to make my map public, and got a pop-up which said, "unable to translate status code (100))". This is for http://www.runningahead.com/logs/db816ba95fe7403490ba401d30cb44ae/workouts/05f8aa24eccf4121b5816cdd506acaa8/map . I'm using chrome. A second minor issue I've been seeing is that chrome doesn't seem to find the garmin control the first time, but once I reload the page it's found just fine. I'm guessing that's a chrome / garmin compatibility issue, but thought I'd mention to you just in case it's a site problem.
The default for importing maps is to make them private. Can that be changed so that the default is for public maps?
That was you that generated the error messages? I removed a couple of emails from the server saying that it's unable to find the data, but I wasn't sure why or how. I checked and was able to change the permission just now. I'm not sure what happened but please give it a try again. eric

That seems to have fixed this problem. Another thing I noticed was that the importer would read my garmin for the second ski run of the day, but it didn't seem to show up "after the server processed" it. I had to export from TC and load the file to get the second run to show up. I even tried to uncheck where it loads only newer files but that didn't seem to work either. Thanks -- this is a great feature!
I think I've finally tracked down the problem. Garmin's data is not properly formated and I need to do some "massaging" on the server. When the server encounters a problem that it doesn't know how to handle, it just stops processing, which is what you're seeing. I should have a fix in a couple of hours.
Cool, thanks!
I downloaded all my garmin data. I only saved the last few runs and left the other ones as unsaved. Today it looks like all the unsaved runs auto saved and my mileage is way up. I know I can just delete these and all will be fine, but I thought I'd let you know so that you could look at my training log.

Eric, I thought it would only add the Garmin runs if you went in and "saved" the run to your log from the server?? Well, that's the way it was working. Now it's added all my Garmin runs to my log as "Default" so my log is all screwed up, showing about double the mileage I've actually run except the days I ran on the treadmill. Is there a way to have it not do this?? I don't want all my Garmin runs in there unless I save them to the log...

Two weeks ago, an earnest group of engineers showed up at the IAC-hosted New York Tech Meetup to present Ignighter, their own take on a dating site. Ignighter's twist: Founders Peter Kamali, Dan Osit and Adam Sachs have created a Facebook app (of course) to help people arrange group dates.
Does involving other people in your dates sound like a good idea to you? It did, apparently, to IAC: Its Match.com dating site has just announced its own attempt to move online dating "from a solitary to a more social experience." Match's program, called MatchMyFriends, allows members to nominate their friends for potential matches and then vouch for their potential "date-ability", as well as rating potential suitors.
We're not suggesting that IAC ripped the Ignighter guys off: Even if they wanted to, hard to imagine an IAC operation getting something on the market, from a standing start, in two weeks. And to be fair, MatchMyFriends isn't exactly group dating, it's more like a group setup -- which sounds much more awful. Still, perhaps best for Meetup presenters to consider this a cautionary tale: Even if you've got a half-good idea, there's a good chance someone's working on something similar. Hurry up and get it out there.

The Composite Index of Leading Economic Indicators: How to Make It More Timely
A major shortcoming of the U.S. leading index is that it does not use the most recent information for stock prices and yield spreads. The index methodology ignores these data in favor of a time-consistent set of components (i.e., all of the components must refer to the previous month). An alternative is to bring the series with publication lags up-to-date with forecasts and create an index with a complete set of most recent components. This study uses tests of ex-ante predictive ability of the U.S. leading index to evaluate the gains to this new 'hot box' procedure of statistical imputation. We find that, across a variety of simple forecasting models, the new approach offers substantial improvements.

The nation's immigration debate might be coming to a corner booth near you.
Workers across America are taking the day off on Thursday for "A Day Without Immigrants," a grassroots protest of President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Some restaurants are joining the effort and shutting down for the day to spotlight how immigrants fuel business, and five are Spanish celebrity chef José Andrés' restaurants in Washington, D.C.
"It's a way to say we love this country, and we want to show you that we are contributing to this country," Andrés told TIME. Andrés estimated he will sacrifice $100,000 in revenue for the day, and that immigrant workers — the vast majority of them Latino — make up 65% of his staff. He hopes Thursday's slashed labor force will convince both Republicans and Democrats in Congress to recognize the economy's heavy dependency on people he feels are "ghosts in the system."
An American citizen since 2013, Andrés first came to Pensacola, Fla., where the Castillo flag greeted him at high mast in 1991. He's no stranger to uncertainty facing foreign-born people in the U.S., but he feels Trump is sparking panic in Latino communities by urging ICE raids on. "All these raids used to happen, but now all of a sudden, immigrants feel under attack and prosecuted in their neighborhood," he said.
According to the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report, of the 12.7 million employees in the restaurant workforce, 1.4 million are immigrants. Most U.S. farm workers are immigrants — many undocumented — according to a survey undertaken by the USDA.
"We all celebrate the best moments of our lives over food at the table linked to immigrants, and we don't want pity. We want respect," he said.
But the day is personal for another reason. Andrés is embroiled in a multi-million dollar legal fight with the President. Once Trump kicked off his presidential campaign with disparaging remarks for Mexican immigrants in 2015, Andrés backed out of a deal to open a Spanish restaurant plugged into the Trump International Hotel in Washington in 2016.
"When he called Mexicans rapists, it was very obvious that my business couldn't survive with this rhetoric," Andrés said.
And he has a message to deliver to Trump from immigrant workers: "We are here to give back everything we were given, but we cannot be taken for granted. We are here because America needs us in the same way we need America."

As a college student, Maria Menounos struggled with weight.Credit: Getty Images
For Maria Menounos, losing weight wasn't just a personal struggle — it was jeopardizing her career.
Before she had a reality show on Oxygen, before competing on "Dancing with the Stars," before she was a red carpet reporter, Menounos was in journalism school and facing the prospect of not achieving her dream. The reason: At more than 40 pounds overweight, she was low on energy and often ill, which would hold her back in the fast-paced business of broadcast television.
Without trainers or nutritionists, Menounos spent a year developing the method that would become her new book, "The EveryGirl's Guide to Diet and Fitness," the "ultimate no-time, no-money, no-willpower guide." She tells Metro about how wellbeing was key to her success.
Was there a moment when you decided to make a change?
My size 14 jeans grew skintight. I knew it was time to upgrade, yet again, to another size and I didn't want to. With diabetes in my family, my fatigue and illnesses, I felt enough was enough.
You weren't just unhappy with your weight then.
I was exhausted and sick a lot of the time. All my broadcast journalism professors at Emerson warned me about the long hours in the news business. I was fearful I wouldn't be able to keep up so I knew a change was in order. Had I not become healthy, I never would have been able to keep up the pace required.
What made you go your own route to wellness?
I feel like I tried every diet known to man — shake diets, coffee diets, grapefruit diets, you name it. I couldn't stay on any of them for more than a couple of days.
You started out with "no willpower"?
That came with progress and positive results. When you start losing weight with this approach, as I did by month five, you begin to gain willpower. As soon as my pants fit loosely, I was ecstatic. A fire was lit and I was ready to step up my game.
How did you get started?
To properly motivate me, I tied my weight loss to a target date and event far into the future. There was a beauty pageant 11 months from the time I began. With an impending swimsuit portion, there was no way I was going to compete without being fit. I write in my book, for other people, your target date may be a family or class reunion or upcoming beach season. At a recent book signing, two girls were going to tie their weight loss to a winter cruise for their target date/event.
How did you structure your diet?
Once I had my target date, I journaled my food for a week to see just how much and what I was eating. I was stunned to see the abundance and specifically the excess of bad carbs I was ingesting. Next, I simply cut a tiny amount from each meal; I didn't change what I was eating. I just cut back from four slices of pizza to three, for example. The next few weeks, I cut back a little more. I tell people to keep eating what they are eating and to just cut back 10 percent every other week. I did this and in five months, I was down 20 pounds! After that I was so motivated that I stepped up my game, switching out the bad carbs for more clean, unprocessed foods.
Did you seek any advice or support along the way?
No one helped me with the diet because I never told anyone I was on a diet! I tell the EveryGirl to do the same thing. First, you're not on a diet. Diets are temporary, which is why they fail. You are just making some healthier decisions for your eating, not dieting. Second, by telling people you're on a diet you're adding more pressure to yourself — pressure that you don't need!
How would you describe your method?
It's a 50-year plan — a plan that helps to ensure you will not only be fit for the next 50-plus years, but mobile, strong and healthy, too. To achieve that, it's about striving to eat clean, unprocessed foods 75 percent of the time as much as possible and to remain active, urgent and mobile in your everyday daily activities. It doesn't necessarily mean being a gym rat. It means taking stairs instead of elevators or choosing the parking space as far away as possible, or getting an activity tracker and vying for 5-10k steps per day merely doing daily activities. It's just about being as active as possible every day. It doesn't mean cutting sugar out of your life entirely or anything like that. You can consume those things — just limit it to 25 percent of the time.
Why will your method work for other women?
I think most every girl out there wants to do and have it all, but struggles to find the time, money and willpower to succeed in doing so. One of those things is to be fit and healthy. I had no time, money or willpower back when I succeeded in losing the weight. My methods are tailored around those factors.

t'll take a while before the Philadelphia 76ers' most recent first-round draft picks step foot on an NBA court, but the organization's patience is about to start paying off.
Nerlens Noel will play in his first competitive games in 17 months when he joins the Sixers' entry in the Orlando Pro Summer League from Saturday through July 11 at the Magic's practice court at the Amway Center. Philadelphia's opener against Orlando at 1 p.m. ET Saturday is being televised by NBA TV.
Noel is also scheduled to compete in the Las Vegas Summer League from July 11-21.
"I'm very excited," Noel said Thursday after the Sixers' final day of minicamp at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. "I know there will be a lot of eyes on me, but I'm definitely coming in with a team mentality and to get better. I haven't played in a year and a half, but I'm staying focused and being patient with the process of coming back to organized games."
The 6-foot-11, 228-pound center was the presumptive No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft until tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the second half of Kentucky's loss at Florida on Feb. 12, 2013, during his freshman season with the Wildcats. He had reconstructive surgery a month later.

Are you looking for a Journalism internship in Alaska? Journalism internships are the best way to bridge the gap between going to school and landing great job. Internships can help provide valuable work experience by learning the ropes from more experienced professionals. At the end of your internship, you'll have relevant experience to help you decide if starting your career in the field of your internship is the right choice for you. It also helps that 7 out of 10 internships result in a full time job offer, which means interning in Alaska can also serve as the foundation to landing a full time job in that city after graduation.
Journalism summer internships in Alaska are pretty common, but don't expect to be in charge at the end of your internship! Usually, you'll have to work from the bottom up, but interns are much more likely to get a job offer from the employer they're interning with. If you decide to intern at a smaller company, you'll sacrifice the name prestige for other benefits, such as having an opportunity to see your projects go from start to finish. Simply gaining Journalism experience is essential in order to provide value and creativity to the team.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
staff very friendly and helpful. no complaints whatsoever. Service was excellent.
Hotel was centrally located for sites and public transportation. Staff were very gracious and breakfast ,afternoon tea and evening appitizers were a plus. The air conditioning did not work as well as it should have. However, all other features offset this condition.
Everything was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No bad points
excellent facilities and service no
The spa, and the friendly staff The room was quite small, for a 5 star hotel. Location could have been slightly better.
The concierge was extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. He was very helpful arranging trips and events for us.
The staff were just wonderful and the room was excellent. the whole experience was just wonderful. I transfered to another Budapest 5-star hotel which was part of a tour and the hotel was just not in the same class as the Corinthina. No
beautiful building nicely restored and with very nice details
Excellent customer service! Everyone was very nice and helpful.
Very helpfull, i got a free checkout for free. nothing
The friendliness of all the hotel staff. The hotel itself convenient to market and shops. Th food in the restaurant was excellent. We had an apartment which was luxurious unfortunately it was over one of the conference rooms and was very noisy one night as there was a party being held. Music did stop at one but a lot of door banging with staff coming and going after that.
Everything about our stay was fantastic. The free wifi connections was very good and the staff were all very professional. Ten out of ten. I feel breakfast could have been included in the price.
Everything. Most of all the helping polite friendly staf To leave......
parking, very comfortable quiet suite, good breakfast, nice swimming pool we got bathrobes when we asked for them, crowdy breakfast room, entrance of spa area is not designed good - there is no place to change your cloth
the rooms were clean and comfortable. the elevatorsecond weren't frenzy located. the breakfast was expensive relatively
no internet conection even with the help of hotel's staf
excellent hotel, staff lovely, couldnt do enough for you no
Really happy with everything
Location and spacious rooms. Good value for the money. Not really a 5* hotel with suites, more like good apartment hotel***. If you are looking 5* luxury, it's not a place for you.
staff nothing
location, look, big room, spa, parking, good breakfast, hotel staff, not noisy just one tinny soap in bathroom :). Everithing else was pretty good.
Staff were extremely friendly. Hotel was beautiful with a lovely spa. The hotel is not very big which we felt was a bonus, it meant we got a very personal touch.
Hotel is in a great location in the Jewish quarter- loads of brilliant bars and restaurants nearby. Loved the pool. Decor is gorgeous. Room was a little small and cramped
The staff on the reception was helpful and polite.
Breakfast, swimming pool
Superiror value for euro spent which exceeded my expectations! I was unable to stay longer.
This was my second stay at this hotel. It was a pleasure to walk into that impressive reception area again, and I also enjoyed sitting in the Gallery bar for some food and drink. Room was again comfortable with a useful laptop-size safe and well-stocked minibar. When you take a shower and discover that the floor is wet don't be surprised. The shower screen hangs on a pivot and there is a 5mm gap between the pivot and the bath itself. Both my rooms were like that, so it's not a one-off.
food from the restaurant locationn
Hotel was very clean and modern - loved the decor. Hotel staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The hotel provided loads of information on arrival including suggested tours, public transport, recommended restaurants, etc. Only one small complaint and that is that the spa facilities are not really big enough for a hotel of that size. For example, the changing rooms at the wellness centre (pool, sauna, jacuzi etc) would only just squeeze about 4 people in at a time. Only enough sunbeds on the roof terrace for about 8. For a hotel with 200+ rooms - not really big enough and at the end of the day when everyone returns from sightseeing and wants a quick dip in the pool - just not enough room/space.
Where to start with the good points??!!! As soon as we walked in we were looked after - cases taken to our room and shown the vital pieces of equipment. The hotel is spotless. The dining room is superb and the staff very friendly and I would recommend it to every type of traveller young or old. go for the revolving door alone. Nothing that I would call bad. if anything we thought the mini bar prices were expenisve - but hey, I'm having to be really picky.
Really relaxing stay. We could hear noise from the siderooms - was a little bit annoying in the early morning.
Excellent value--great staff--super location--lovely apartment--top notch !!
Great location. Walking distance to everything. Have stayed a lot in Budapest and these are the best apartments we've stayed at in Budapest. Well appointed, free wireless and very helpful staff. Would stay again without hesitation Nothing major - wireless internet signal in our apartment was inconsistent/ slow. No credit card facilities...have to pay account in cash.
I really like Gozsdu Court. It's small and friendly. Main atrations are in walking distance or you can take metro (tram). And off course - value for money.
Location cleness fornitures service (check-in/check-ou fleibility, staff available and near)
We stayed the first night in our one room apartment which was good but very noisy evening. So they moved us to a three room apartment which was excelent. Very good location. Loads of restaurants within 10 mins walk. Opera well worth a visit - 10 mins away. The first apartment, they moved us, really noisy on 1st floor, didn't have a curtain for the kids sofa bed, sheets could have been cleaner.
Very good situation in town. Very recent renovation. No mattress protector, only a sheet on the bed.
Price, location No bad points!
Clean nice room, good facilities, central location, upgraded room due to studio not available Did not have record of booking at office, had to contact other office. Room booked unavailable, office to hand back key does not open until 9am.
The apartments are superbly located on the edge of the up and coming Jewish Quarter. They are in a very new multi million euro development and are very good quality. Staff helpful.
Beautiful historic building with lavish features inside and out. No detail overlooked from front desk customer service to house keeping, everyone is friendly, professional and efficient. A well oiled machine that has exceeded our expectations on multiple visits. No complaints, the staff went above and beyond.
Wonderful place to stay. Staff very accommodating. Food great. Atmosphere stunning.
Like the building and the New York cafe which is situated inside the hotel the pool and spa area is very good as well
The day time house cleaning staff needs attention. Our room was not made up either morning of our stay. When informed, the hotel was responsive. The room was beaufiful and the bathroom large and luxurious. The location of hotel was very good. We would highly recommend staying at this hotel.
Lobby. Room. Spa. We liked all about this hotel !!!
Exceptional staff at this hotel. Gracious, polite, helpful, cheerful. A delight in every way.
Judit, who checked me in, was very generous with city information, suggestions and directions. She should be commended. The staff in general are all attentive and client oriented. The breakfast buffet is quite extensive and tasty. Cafe not opening until 10 a.m. I think you do it to encourage (require) those of us seeking breakfast before that hour to patronize the pricey buffet or room service. I didn't appreciate that requirement.
Fantastic renovation with a lot of taste . Superb restaurant , where also the food was of very good level .
The staff was extremely attentive. They remembered details about what i liked into the next day. Everyone was polite and well mannered. The food was delicious and the wine waiter knew his subject. The meal could not have been more perfect. The chef worked with my lactose intolerance and modified the food. n/a
The lobby is magnificent, the room was lovely. It's about 15 min from the "center" IE the chain bridge. Pieter the concierge is wonderful and very helpful. The food is hit or miss, I enjoyed the goulash and parsely spaetzle. Most of the desserts were too sweet.
Beautiful, luxurious hotel, a real treat, wonderful staff Area wasn't the best
My wife and I were pleasantly surprised at the size and the comfort of of our bedroom and bath. The service wass very slow, and once they simply forgot what I had requested over the phone, even though we had chosen the top accomodation available at your site ( and at the hotel, we suppose).The lady at the front desk was very impatient to helping us choose the best tour.
This hotel was offered as a 5* ranked hotel. There is a Boscolo Hotel but this was only an apartment building behind the hotel!!!! NO STAR Rating at all. How the hell can be offered an apartment complex as a 5* hotel???? As i arrived the front desk told me i have NO booking in the Hotel, i have a booking in the apartment complex one block further. As i asked the guy at the front desk he sad they have NO star ranking cause its an apartment complex. This is scam!
Staff was great Upsell for very late checkout exceeded cost of entire night. Will never return based on this alone. Rooms shiwing age and could have been cleaner. Too bad because the staff is very friendly and helpful.
value for many hotel with spacious rooms and good location. Extremely nice staff. Cleaning service is bad. Really bad.
Extremely helpful and friendly staff, gorgeous room and perfect location. I would definetely come back. Es perfecto en todos los sentidos. OSUSUMEMASU. Nothing.
big comfortable and clean modern rooms, very friendly and competent staff, windows didn't open
Excellent large modern furnished suites, great hotel location - very close to Vaci street and to other city sights, very friendly, thoughtful and helpfull staf. I will recommend this hotel to all my friends from all over the world. Many thanks for our holidays in Budapest!
very good positon, in the center of the city no reserved parking in week-end for a 4 stars hotel the continental breakfast is very poor
Silent big rooms. Good location, just 100m from nearest metro station. Excellent helpfull staff.
The room and the good position of the hotel.
The central heating was set a bit too high, and it was a bit troublesome cooling down the bedroom for sleeping. We had to have the windows wide open. As it was April the air conditioning was not working.
Excelent location! Staff - very helpfull.
The staff was very helpful. Gave us great tips on local restaurants and sites. The rooms are all very spacious suites, uncommon in Europe. Hotel is at the heart of all metro stations, making travel so easy. Wonderful night life nearby too Nice full breakfast and cozy - well priced bar. In summer a beautiful Sky Bar on top floor.
The hotel is very nice, good value for money, the staff was very very kind and helpful, the breakfast was very good but am not sure it was 4 *. I would definitely recommend this hotel, and will stay there again. coffee served for breakfast was from the machine was not good
Hotel was new, so very clean and fresh. Breakfast was very good and plentiful. Internet access was free. Rooms very modern and stylish. Rainfall showers were fantastic - good pressure and plenty of hot water. Supermarket,cashpoints, KFC etc all near the hotel. Safes in room were free of charge. Overall excellent value for money. Location wasn't the best, although only short metro ride to the centre or 30 min walk. Tea/coffee facilities at extra charge. Some rooms only have view of a wall. Have to go onto street to smoke ie no private outside area. I booked a double room but the room i was initially given only had one narrow single bed - i changed rooms to one with a double bed, however if the hotel had been full this would have been a problem.
The Staff is so professional and amazing, for example I was departing at 3:45 in the morning and the man at the front desk had ordered me a special breakfast to go package, now thats what Im talking about
everything, most of all friendly staff, which doesn't happens often in Hungary, and close to restaurants, metro line nothing
the room was clean. loved the bathroom. the employees were friendly. the breakfast was ok. parking is a problem, watch out for the parking fines.in the room it was to cold.
the design of the rooms was interesting the room was too small, the bathroom had glass walls so you can see everything, the neighborhood was creepy, and the breakfast was poor
Friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are modern and spotless. Located near the main train station and subway. Stores and restaurants walking distance. Nothing.
Breakfast was good, bar and restaurant staff were very helpful. paying for internet, TV, etc. Too expensive for a no frills hotel.
Staff was professional and nice Hotel smelled like mold. Rooms are outdated and the bed was a prison cot. This is not a 4 star hotel. Best 2 stars at best. Lots of noise, as rooms are high ceiling.
L'hôtel est très propre. Le style est rétro et ça donne du charme au lieu. Si vous devez utiliser un taxi pour vous rendre à l'aeroport ou inversémment, préférer alors de passer par l'hôtel afin de vous le réservez. Héler un taxi revient des fois au double du prix (arnaque) mais limite drôle, on ne s'est pas fait avoir. L'hôtel est grand. Le déjeuner peut se prendre dans une grande salle commune où l'on remplis son assiette à volonté. La chambre était fort petite, et les photos ne rendent absolument pas les dimensions. L'hôtel est situé proche de la gare Keleti mais pour se promener aux abords de l'hôtel, il faut marcher un peu avant de se trouver dans les quartiers intéressants pour le touriste. Cela dit, les métros et bus sont nombreux et tout est facile d'accès une fois qu'on parvient à se situer.
Everything was well organized. Staff and other guests were very friendly. Free glass of champagne was nice gesture of welcome. The computer passed on a virus to my camera card, which has been difficult to repair while being on the road on vacation.
Pretty comfortable. Very good food. Some of the staff are very snub, they aren't very attentive, the rooms have no view other than the garden or the dusty streets, very bad area of the town.
nice location. cost is good.
location, quiet room, excellent breakfast
The fact that it was clean, central and staff pleasant and helpful I had to ask for a kettle and tea/coffee, usually they are in room already. The kettle had to be put on the floor as the flex was very short.
services small restaurant with only two tables in the smoking area. the hotel has 499 rooms and only around 10-15 tables in the restaurant for the lunch and dinner
Location Rundown, small rooms, tiny old TV, uncomfortable bed, no soap in bathroom, moldy curtain. Just sad.
The hotel was excellent, very close to the Keleti station, which was very important to us since we've arrived at 5 AM to Budapest. The staff was so kind to let us check in at 10 AM on the first day, and even though check out time is 11 AM, we were allowed to stay until 2 PM on the last day. The people at the reception desk were also very very helpful with info about Budapest and everything else.
Friendliness of staff Noise of room along the main road
The apartments are brand new. Situated near the Andrassy makes it very comfortable and accessible. Equipped with luxury items e.g. dishwasher, washing machine etc. Two full bathrooms. There is no reception that can assist with information re. the city or other arrangements. Did not have credit card facilities. Had to pay the cleaning lady - cash and did not receive an official receipt
It is neer every thing. It is new so it is nice. It is not very clean.The dishwasher was not working, we told them and they did nothing! we askes for some chaires at the veranda, thwy say that they will bring but did not!
I liked that the appartment was clean, big, had modern furniture. The location is very good, five minutes till the subway station. There is also a private parking where you can park your car safe.The staff is nice, helpful and speaks English well. I also liked that they welcomed us with a chocolate! I highly recommend you Nova Apartments!
The staff was very helpful and friendly and the apartment very nice and well equipped.
Nice flat, beautiful garden view
great place to stay!!! nice and helpful staffs, comfortable room. good facilities. the apartment is large and comfortable, the kitchen, the dvd player and all of that. we'll certainly stay here again on our next budapest trip!
the location was excellent. very close to the center. the staff very kindness.. he gave us all information need it;
This apartment's facility is very good! Nothing
great location to centre. 5 minute walk to the danube. close to metro station. very quiet room at night, which was suprising to say it was so close to the city centre. Hotel was very secure, with key code access to enter, and convenient lockable storage rooms to store bags when flights were at awkward times on departure and arrival.
The best value for money Everything was perfect except the dirty bathtub curtain.
All the staff spoke very good English, which was more than I had expected. None really; we received no clean towels during our stay, but we didn't ask for them either! If we had I'm sure they would have been provided.
Rooms are clean and the hotel is close to the centre, underground just few steps away The receptionist tried to double-cross us when we first came by saying that we will stay in their other building and the other employee will come to pick us up. The other lady came and took us to the other building where we realised that we are not staying in Centroom House but in Mandragora hotel! We did not want to stay in Mandragora and we returned to Centroom House where the first lady gave us finaly the room we book and said that Mandragora is their partner hotel. So be careful, yuo might get something you did not pay for.
The staff was very helpful. The location of the hotel was very good if you want to be close to Keleti train station. Also it has very good price. My room it has not such a good sound isolation from the street trafic.
Roomy, with modern furniture and bathroom, one flight up by elevator. Quiet with window looking out at classic courtyard. TV,airconditioner, safe, large closet. Very helpful and pleasant reception person.. I was given keys and code number for entry, 10 steps from Metro exit. No table and chair or luggage bench, although there is room and wall plugs installed
Helpful staff,clean,quiet.
I really liked this hotel. The location was excellent and the staff was very friendly and gave us all the information we needed. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable and it was exactly as shown on their web page. I recommend it. There was no mini-fridge in the room. If it is not possible for each room to have one, it should be a fridge at the reception.
near metro and train station noise in the street
The location is excellent being central and literally right next to the metro station and across the street from the trams. There are also a few cheap restaurants nearby. The staff was very kind. Having a good location also meant a lot of noise. There are a few bars down a side street and being next to the metro means you will hear a lot of drunk and loud people during the night.
Receptionist is friendly and helpful
It was close to the metro station It is not a hotel there are some rooms around a courtyard in a building, the other floors of the building are apartments for local people. The elevator and main entrance of the building are horrible. I cannot be a *** Hotel
The staff were friendly and went out of their way to help us. This is a new hotel, which we particularly liked as everything was new and clean. The rooms were very small so wouldn't recommend if you are spending a lot of time in the room, as we did on this occasion due to dental treatment but we would definitely book this hotel again in the future. As the hotel was only opened in August 2008 there were a few teething problems which we had anticipated.
Very favourable promotional offer. Very new hotel in well-served area near underground (2 stops to city centre). Young, friendly, helpful service staff. Plentiful breackfast. Too small not very cleaned standard rooms. Bathroom without curtain for the night; glass door: no privacy and safety. Restaurant: no table linen as you expected in a 4 stars hotel.
design of the hotel comfort cooling did not work at all, people watched me through the window from the external corridor, canteen was always overcrouded, caffee was permanently missing in the canteen during the breakfest.
Very friendly and complimentary staff. Very professional too. Cleanliness was second to none. None.
Comfortable and clean
the location and kindness of staff no internet in the room
Friendly and helpful staff Small room, not enough selection in breakfast buffet
clean,near the city center,good stuff very small rooms,very noisy due to bad proof,uncomfortable bed
Modern design of furniture, bathroom is excellent,
The whole staff was very professional, friendly & helpful. The food was good. The hotel's location is very good. The room was too small to accommodate a family of 2 adults, 1 child & 1 infant.
All attendants were very friendly and help us with any problems. My mother does not like the location because it was not a touristic street. It was a little bit terrible in the night.
In the city centre Nearbu Metro, tram and bus station
A typical IBIS hotel, clean and comfortable.
The hotel it's ok, location good for the prices requested, the rooms are clean. If you want to visit the city and just to have a place to sleep, it is ok. The breakfast was not verry good and verry overrated (8 euro)
Position of the hotel, central part of the city, - this is only one thing what is positive in this hotel Non-friendly recepcionists!!! There is no tea pot or any cofee maker in the room, although the hotel has a certificate of European Hospitality. Shower room - you can not open the door in and out without a force. No hear-dryer, no shampor/conditioner - only liwuid soap od low quality. Also, the receptionist refused to bring to the roon a cofee, tea that we aked as a room service. I would never stay in this hotel again.
Room was great. The hotel location is very close to subway that made us easy to wander around.
It's central location. There were no tea making facilities in the room.
Near to the metro station and to the heart of the city a bit noise at midnight due to cars and chattering outside
air conditioning no garbage basket in the room
the hotel was in the centre so the price was really worth it... the room was really nice and clean the beds were to soft, the staff didnt speak good english and there was no possibility to control the aircondition
Nothing to regret, but the awful noisy night I wasn't able to sleep about. The noise of the electric equipments in the back yard of the hotel, that was awful!

I was trying to watch on TV.com and it kept telling me it was for wifi only..... Why does the app care? If i am okay with a choppier session, why do they stop it? Is there a trick or hack or other way to make a site that is "wifi" only work with broadband?
what kind of app? i know that youtube won't allow you to upload large videos unles you're connected wifi.
Do you mean broadband as in DSL and such? Or you mean the 3G Network? If the former, most Broadband have wifi built in now days. If not you can get a cheap wifi router for less than 10 dollars. If the latter, it is to prevent the 3G network becoming like AT&T's coverage in NY and SF. While the data plan says unlimited, there is a finite limit how much data the physical network can handle.
Until flash comes out, Jetflicks is the best way I know to get a variety of tv shows with good resolution on 3g. I wonder if flash will be wifi-only too!
Sorry for the confusion, I meant 3G. I was hoping that apps like TV.Com could be forced to play over 3G via some hack or setting in either the app or the phone...
I was wondering the same thing - wanted to watch an old episode of Family Ties and the TV.com Android app would only let you watch if you're on a WiFi network. Why would they restrict it (unless Verizon requested it) ?

Woolworths Mandela Day
When: Monday, 18 July 2016
More than 1 660 school children have brand new leather school shoes, and a pair of socks, thanks to a Mandela Day project run at Woolworths' head office. For most of them it is a rare treat to receive brand new school shoes.
Woolworths' head office staff partnered with the National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT) for Mandela Day 2016. NECT identified 11 Fresh Start schools, all of which are classified under-resourced.
The children were given a cut out paper footprint and asked to decorate it. On Mandela Day the artworks were displayed and Woolworths head office and staff could donate R67 or more for a footprint, which would equate to a pair of leather school shoes and a pair of socks.
Woolworths head office employees, the Woolworths Trust, and the MySchool, MyVillage MyPlanet Programme raised more than R100 000.
