Clube Da Esquina Vol.1 - Milton Nascimento/Lo Borges

The current hotspot of Bairro Alto

Advantages: trendy and mixed crowd
Disadvantages: small and crowded

The Bairro Alto is definitely the area in Lisbon with the largest number of bars and clubs per square meter. Its narrow cobblestone streets are somewhat quiet during the day, with only a few trendy shops and typical restaurants open, but when it comes to nightlife it really comes to life! The street are almost always crowded with people wandering from bar to bar, especially at weekends (obviously) but also throughout the week. The centre of all this bustle is constantly changing, but there's always a hotspot that serves as meeting point for all the locals, and I'd say at the moment the "Clube da Esquina" (or "Corner Club") is exactly that. There you can find a mixed crowd of people of every nationality, race, social status or sexual preference cohabiting in harmony (aaaaaaahhh...). Of course a couple of drinks probably help, but it ...

Review of Clube da Esquina

Clube do Adequate

Advantages: Nice location, friendly staff, large apartments
Disadvantages: Tired, uninspired

When is a hotel not a hotel? When it's an apartment, of course! A normal hotel room is more than adequate for a couple, however, when travelling with another couple, you have a choice (particularly when travelling to Spain or Portugal, it seems) between renting two double or twin rooms in a hotel, or sharing a two bedroom holiday apartment. In September, my husband and I visited Portugal (near Lisbon) with another couple, and chose therefore to stay in a two bedroom apartment at the Clube do Lago in Monte Estoril (near Caiscais, about a half hour cab or train ride from Lisbon). We were there six days and five nights. As the holiday had been booked through a travel agent, we were met at the airport by a driver, and driven the 40 minutes or so from the airport to the hotel. One of the first things you notice is the cobbled semi ...

Review of Clube Do Lago, Estoril

Housework songs vol 1

Advantages: A good mix of songs
Disadvantages: Doesnt help you get through the housework

A cd thats a couple of years old now but still fun to listen to. I mean this cd says its meant to help you through the housework but I personally dont think it really does,if anything it distracts you,because you just start singing along to all the great tracks this album has to offer, you get caught up in the music and completely lose track of what you were doing - maybe a good thing in a way :-) Housework vol 1 is a double album that has some cracking songs that you just dont seem to hear on the radio anymore such as The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda and Don McLeans - American Pie. The songs on this album just make you feel good and really help to lift your spirits,but I honestly think its marketed wrong,this is a feel good album for anyone just not people doing the housework.I dont think the title of the album really represents ...
