Fresh and Very Auspicious Alonso

Racing is certainly one of the most perilous sports in the world, nonetheless, many are still addicted to this risky sport. One of the numerous racers who has made his mark at a very immature age is Spanish Fernando Alonso of the famous Renault Team. This fresh and vigorous lad from Asturias is regarded as the second coming of racing superstar Michael Schumacher. Last September 2004, the fresh Renault racer capped the World Driver's Championship honor when Alonso was just 24 years old to end Schumacher's bid for six repeated championships.

There's no doubt that this man has finished a lot at a very young age, but I still consider that he's still far from Schumacher's caliber. I also doubt if he can double the success of the German racer. He still needs to work very hard if he loves to have Schumacher's status. I know he has the potential, but I am confident that he cannot double everything because Schumacher's talent comes one in a million.

What Alonso should do now is to continue attempting and prove the world that he's not just an apparent recipient to Schumacher's throne. Elsewise, people would always recognize him as a trying hard Schumacher's copycat.

My First Lodge Break in Valencia

During my first break in Spain, I dwelled in Marina Atarazanas Hotel in Valencia for one week. I had chums who went with me in that summer escapade, but they stayed in a different lodge. Some of my chums also have relatives living in the adjoining areas so they just settled with them instead of renting. As a whole, my one-week break in Valencia was great and cherished because it was my first time. You know, when it's your first time to go to a certain place, it's always unsurpassed and extraordinary.

I can say that this lodge has an advantage when it comes to its location because it is positioned at the entrance of the port. So, for any visitor who would like to see the relaxing sea and nice view, it's a no-brainer to pass on this lodge. Compared with any other lodges in the area, this lodge has an excellent architectural design. This wonderful design is a blend of glass and concrete, black and white, and wood and stone. This design alone is enough to satisfy any sightseer, even those with the most selective taste. Sightseers will also feel delighted with the lodge rooms'co amenities and features like plasma television, wireless internet connection, and many others. They will aslo love the lodge restaurant located at the first floor which serves several Mediterranean dish.

More Or Less Perfect Vacation in Santo Mauro Hotel

Last month, me and some of my acquaintances planned to visit Madrid and tour the different fascinating and historical places there. We all agreed to stay in one hostel so that we could easily call or communicate with each other anytime. We all had our hostel reservations in one of the hostels in Madrid named AC Santo Mauro Hotel. Actually, this hostel is an exclusive deluxe hotel located in a historical building which was so nice and wonderful.

We understood everything was perfect about the place because we it offers several facilities to make our stay more convenient. The hostel has a restaurant, a cocktail lounge, a room service, a sauna, a great conference rooms, a car rental, a baby sitting and parking. But we were all disenchanted when one of my acquaintances was not accommodated properly when he asked about the map of the place. The receptionist who was so taken in the front desk acted as if she never looked at him.

It's a excellent thing that the janitor came and probed for our concern in the reception area. When he found out that all we needed was just a map, he hastily talked to the chic and asked for the copy. He also probed for an apology on behalf of the receptionist because she wasn't able to address our concern hastily.

A Admirable and Comfy Stay in Hotel Vincci Lys

Insignificant and Tiresome Performance of Antonio Banderas

Unquestionably, Antonio Banderas is one of the most nice-looking foreign actors who made it big in the Hollywood. Nevertheless, I believe that his popularity is mainly because of Zorro, the picture where he starred together with screen goddess Catherine Zeta-Jones. And no matter how he tries to render several roles like what he did in Desperado and Evita, people still remember him as the guy riding in a horse with a black mask.

When it comes to his performance, I am not fully astonished with him. Most of his pictures are action pictures and do not require too much emotions. Worse, the picture themes were very common and mainstream like revenge. In his picture, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, I actually laughed because his acting is so juvenile as compared to Johnny Depp's performance. If I was not aware that the picture is the third installment of the Mariachi Trilogy, then I would have concluded that Depp is the lead character. I pressume that if the only best thing that goes well with him is his flairs when it comes to singing and dancing. I think he's one of the best in those lines because there are few actors who can unquestionably sing and dance.
