Cullinan Hotel Room Review
Here’s my video review of the room at the Cullinan hotel. Overall the stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. I’ve always been a fan of the foyer at the Cullinan hotel and the breakfast buffet was pretty good. My one complaint is that there is no internet access for guests. Even if you make…

The other day I used the MyCiti airport shuttle for the first time and I was so impressed, I felt I should share my experience with you. I purchased my ticket at the Civic Centre station and boarded the waiting bus. Within twenty minutes I was inside the airport terminal. I could not believe how…

Waterfront website for World Cup
I have always found the V&A Waterfront website to be a bit boring and clunky. It was possible to find the information you needed, but it was not presented optimally and the site itself was uninspiring. I’m pleased to say that there has been a very obvious focus by the V&A on their online presence.…

Relax with Dax – Official blogger for V&A Waterfront
The V&A Waterfront approached me a while ago with an offer to be the official blogger for the V&A over the World Cup. The idea was based on a book called A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary by Alain de Botton. The owners of the new Terminal 5 gave the author access to…

What I Dislike About Restaurant Specials
My restaurant specials list went viral last year and many people have been asking me when I am going to do one this year. It’s quite a time consuming thing to check the specials and type it up, and there are already various lists flying around. I might do one when I get a moment…

Stomp review
Stomp has one set, eight cast members and no words, but it offers 90 minutes of foot tapping entertainment. Using everyday items as opposed to musical instruments, the small cast creates music with a rhythm that you can’t escape (Gloria Estefan did warn you). I attended the Sunday afternoon matinee and have to say that…
