Last year at Wimbledon, my forth or fifth visit, I thought at the time it was unusual that I was having to wear trousers as opposed to shorts. Every other year, it was scorching hot and I was burnt to a crisp under a relentlessly hot sun. Last year though, it was a bit cooler. [...]
I’ve just posted my review of my night’s stay in the Novotel London Euston, an AA four star hotel, to TripAdvisor. The review hasn’t been published yet, but you can read it here.
Yesterday, I was enjoying the tennis (but not the rain) at Wimbledon for the 2007 Championships. A write-up of my day with photos and video and a review of the hotel will follow later. For now though, since I’m getting quite a lot of traffic from people looking for photos of the roofless centre court, [...]
This is the first in a series of posts about Belgium, one of my favourite countries. Despite only having a population of just over 10 million, it is one of the most misunderstood countries in the world. Ask people what they think of Belgium and most of them will say “boring,” even if they themselves [...]
Today, while munching on a slightly stale Chicken Salad Baguette, I realised just how boring lunch has become. I’m someone who likes to try new food, all the time. I try to have something different every day of the week. It would seem though, I’m very much in the minority. The great British public still [...]
OK, let’s talk podcasts. If you don’t know what a podcast is, I shouldn’t blame you because podcasting is still a relatively new concept. That being said, I am going to blame you anyway, because podcasts are brilliant and the exposure that they’ve received has been so unmissable that if you are someone who has [...]
Japan, Land of the Rising Sun, is the world’s second largest economy and a science & technology super-power. It’s also home to a plethora of semi-violent, non-sensical game shows where the contestants are humiliated and blown-up for the amusement of guilty viewers the world over. Below is a video clip from one such game show.
The [...]
Call me crazy, but I’ve made a big call this evening. I’ve decided to ditch my own blog design which I spent a week designing from scratch, for a design that someone else did and that anyone else can use for their blog. In terms of aesthetics, Here To Geneva has just lost it’s uniqueness. [...]
Oh! Err. Right. This would be where I write a glowing review of the brand new Safari 3 Public Beta for Mac. But it doesn’t work on my top of the range iMac at the moment. Everytime I try, it gives me the message above (or something very similar). I’ve looked around and there doesn’t [...]
My reaction when I saw for the first time the official logo for the London 2012 Olympics was one of horror. The above image includes it’s four variants in all their hideous would-be-cool-if-it-was-the-nineteen-eighties glory. I mean, honestly! What were they thinking? These logos don’t say ‘Olympics’ to me. They don’t say anything to me. They [...]
