Beyond Harrod’s: The Lowdown on London Shopping

4/8/2021

 
Picture
Harrod’s may be the most iconic of London’s retail establishments, but don't let that keep you from visiting other locales.  If you’d rather avoid the crowds and get a true taste of what Britain has to offer, try these lesser-known alternatives.

London's Underground

4/1/2021

 
In the 19th century, digging under-water deep-level tunnels was hazardous. Numerous attempts to cross the Thames underground had failed, with many lives lost. Today, the East London Line uses the Brunell's Thames Tunnel, being the first successful under-Thames crossing.

When steam traction was exchanged for electricity, deeper tunnels could be dug using compressed air and a large circular drilling shield, which were then lined with cast iron rings. Tunnels were speedily mined and many stations were built on each of the lines created, most of which are still in use today.

60 Second Geography - London

3/30/2021

 
Picture
Located on the Thames River in southeast England, London has suffered many trials over the centuries: it has been burned, sacked, invaded from the ground and bombed from the air, yet it endures.

However the underground train system known as the Tube is easy to use and the famous black cabs help even a novice to get around the city.

60 Second Geography: Ireland

6/16/2020

 
Picture
There’s something for everyone in Ireland. The Emerald Isle’s scenery is, well, green, and the activities include golf, hiking and biking tours, taking in the countryside or one of the many festivals held annually in the small villages and towns. Economic success over the past few years has not dimmed the traditional way of life, and the Irish hold on to their cultural heritage with an ease that permeates everything from the road signs to the ever-present music and pub culture. And let’s not forget the Island is populated by the friendliest people in the world!

Iceland's Golden Circle

5/28/2020

 
Picture
Twenty-four hours of daylight are a pleasant resource in a land so oriented to being outdoors. The summers in Iceland are short, and the inhabitants make good use of every moment. Reykjavik has the unassuming look of a small town somewhere in Colorado more than it does a national capital.  Yet, the essence of its Viking heritage is unavoidable and, unlike many of Europe’s larger cities, Reykjavik exudes a sense of place that leaves no doubt about its Scandinavian identity.  The people who live here are as much a part of the land as the land is of them, there’s no separating the two.
