La Bonne Femme, Maastricht

LE FEMME NIKITA TELEVISION STYLE.

Advantages: It's a worthwhile series.
Disadvantages: Story line is a little weak sometimes.

Recently, I have been following a television series that was first launched in 1997, but discontinued in the year 2000 and then, due to pressure from fans was shown again, and hit an all time popularity whilst being screened on Channel Five. The series uses the ideas that were initially based on the French Film of the same name and of course, the film version of La Femme Nikita is superior, although I would not dismiss this series as anything short of serious. The actors in the series play the roles of people who are lost somewhere between life and death, in that they have been sentenced to death in their real lives, and have been employed by an Agency to deal with world corruption, working under cover as assassins with no real lives of their own, their souls almost dead to the bone, and there being no escape from the role that ...

Review of Channel 5 - La Femme Nikita

My Kinda town - Maastricht is

Advantages: Small, friendly, very pretty
Disadvantages: Not easiest desination to get to from the UK

Most people in the UK have only heard of Maastricht in connection with the EC treaty, they couldn't tell you what it's about, nor could they tell you even which country it's in! The city is tucked in the bottom left hand corner of the Netherlands, and surrounded on three sides by Belgium and Germany. It's also very close to France and Luxembourg is only a short car journey away. Don't make the mistake of thinking it's in Holland - that's in the north of the Netherlands, it's the capital of Limburg provence. I attended a business conference in the beginning of March 2003, and quite by accident managed to land in town at exactly the same time as 'carnival' - which they take very seriously - more about this later. The old town is about one kilometre square, and is a maze of narrow pedestrianised streets there's a bunch of old ...

Review of Maastricht (Netherlands)

STOP......Maastricht ahead.

Advantages: Beautiful city, everything at walking distance
Disadvantages: maybe the weather??

one of the local beers since there are plenty. Ridder, Brand, Leeuw, Gulpener, Alfa or otherwise one of the very tasty Belgium beers. If you ask for a sjoes (pronounce like shoes), you will get normal beer with a little bit of the heavier dark beer tipped in it. It gives the beer a slightly sweeter taste, yum. Where do I stay???? Just outside the city there are big luxury hotels like Novotel or Van der Valk with rooms between 70 and 200 GBP. If you want a bit less luxury hotel in the downtown area you can book a room in the two star hotel La Colombe (43-100 GBP) or the three star Quartier Bassin (75-275 GBP). If you come by car you can also stay in the small tourist village of Valkenburg a d Geul. It is a 10 minutes drive from Maastricht and has plenty of hotels. The village has a cute town centre and many underground caves ...
