Advantages: small form factor, long battery life, built in video camera and FM radio Disadvantages: can't play music or videos without headphones
The Apple iPod Nano 5th gen is that much different from the 4th generation. The main features that are noticeable is obviously the video camera. Amazingly the Nano's form factor is exactly the same, if not smaller even with the camera. The video camera is only VGA, nothing special, though it comes in handy and it's only about £10 more than the previous model.
The 5th Gen model also has a larger screen. I love the super clear curved glass display of the previous model, and with the new model having a larger 2.2 inch screen, it's just a bonus.
Another great feature I love is the built in FM Radio. I find this feature very useful and convenient and I thought that this was the feature that the previous model lacked.
The 5th Gen Nano has the same long battery life of 24 hours music playback and 5 hours video playback.
So, if you have ...
Advantages: Pretty scenery, shaded areas Disadvantages: Need to take a tour to see it really
Myself and my girlfriend visited the Magic Buddha Garden whilst in Thailand on October 2007.
We visited this attraction as fair of a Jungle Tour, where we visited several attractions in one day while travelling round the island and we paid £20 each for this trip which we thought was very reasonable. Some of the roads you need to travel on to get to this attraction are very bumpy so I would assume that you will need to hire a 4 x 4 vehicle if you are wishing to travel here without a tour. This attraction is marked on all the tourist maps so it would be easy to find.
Inside The Garden
The Buddha Garden is set within a valley and inside you will find statues of mythical creatures, statues of spirits and of course, Buddha statues. There is a waterfall which runs through the middle of the Buddha Garden and lots of trees and vegetation ...
Advantages: bigger story, more to devour than before Disadvantages: still not quite enough happening to keep me hooked

Album Notes
The Fifth Dimension: Marilyn McCoo, Billy Davis, Jr., Florence La Rue, Lamonte McLemore, Ron Townson. Additional personnel: Jimmy Webb (arranger, conductor); Johnny Rivers, Hal Blaine, Larry Knechtel, Joe Osborne, Mike Deasy, Tommy Tedesco, Dennis Budimir. Producer: Bones Howe. Reissue producer: Rob Santos. Recorded at Sound Recorders Studio, Western Recorders & Studio 3, Hollywood, California between July 15 & November 11, 1967. Includes liner notes by Mike Ragogna. Digitally remastered by Elliott Federman (2000, SAJE Sound, New York, New York). Overlooked in its day (unlike most of the Dimension's early albums, this one didn't even crack the top 100), MAGIC GARDEN turns out to be one of the '60s great lost psychedelic pop/rock albums. Composer/arranger Jimmy Webb wrote just about every note here (the one exception is a cover of the Beatles "Ticket to Ride"), conceiving it as an interconnected song cycle, complete with prologue, epilogue, sound effects, and musical collages between the songs (think sitars - lots of them). Webb was aiming for something along the lines of Brian Wilson's PET SOUNDS, and, while this is hardly a masterpiece on that level, it's evocative of that album, if only because Webb recorded it with the same L.A. session musicians. The obvious grabber here is the hit single "Carpet Man," which is as close to hard rock as Webb ever got. Other highlights include a lush version of "The Worst That Could Happen" (a hit a few months later for the Brooklyn Bridge), and "Paper Cup," an addictively catchy and period-perfect piece of psychedelic whimsy.
Album Reviews
Living Blues (11-12/00, p.90) - "...Symphonically grandiose and intermittently pompous..." Mojo (Publisher) (8/00, p.122) - "...A stellar album that defines the 'Sunshine Pop' genre....Alternating between strong harmonies and gossamer whispers...the production was Bones Howe's finest hour."
