Advantages: Handy for Cascais Disadvantages: Not pushchair friendly, limited choice
The big brother to Cascais centre's Cascais Villa, this shopping centre is located about 15 min. to the North of the town centre - expect to pay about 6 euro if you're taking a taxi from the station. It's got a reasonable range of stores, with a large Continente supermarket , FNAC, Zara & Zara Home, Area, Toys R Us and various clothes / gifts / homeware shops, plus restaurants,on site. However, parents of babies & toddlers be warned : it's quite tricky to navigate with a pushchair! There are 2 lifts in the centre of the mall, but these can take forever to arrive. Also, to get to the Sports Zone on the top level, you need to go outside into the car park if you've got a pushchair - nightmare! If you want to catch the bus from Cascais, it only runs very infrquently, and to get the bus back you have to negotiate loads of steps to cross ...
and for Alice himself, DaDa was neither the final album he wrote nor was it representative of his general talent. Equally fortunately, this down period in Cooper's life did not last - by mid-1984, he had solved his marital problems and by 1986 he returned to the music scene with more "normal" albums, such as "Constrictor" and with his successful "The Nightmare Returns" tour.

Advantages: Might learn something about Buddhism Disadvantages: Written in dialect, hard to read
I bought this book a couple of months ago after reading a positive review in a magazine. However, there was something slightly important that the review left out. But first;
'Buddha Da tells the endearing story of a working-class Glaswegian man who discovers Buddhism, rejects old habits and seeks a life more meaningful, only to alienate his immediate family in the process'
So all sounds good, I was interested in this because I recently studied the Dalai Lama and found Buddhism and everything surrounding the DL fascinating. The book arrived, nice looking cover, 344 pages so not too long, then I read the first page.
Now, I read A LOT - but this totally threw me. The book is written in Galswegian dialect, here's an example;
"He'd dae anythin for a laugh so he wid; went doon the shops wi a perra knickers on his heid, tellt ...
