Advantages: fun interesting
Disadvantages: not always interesting

...here is an article i wrote for my annual school magazine form an exchange trip to france: French Exchange 2003 The adrenaline pumped through my body. Thoughts were constantly crossing my mind. I was, in short, scared. I was about to meet my French Exchange Partner and his family. The family that was to welcome me into their lives for just over a week. I was constantly tormented with the thoughts of what he would be like. I just hoped he would be a nice person. The train pulled into the station. Darkness filled the air. I looked around and saw people holding boards up with other peoples names on. ‘Max North’, ‘Phil Boon’, ‘Dave Barron’ they read. Where was the ‘Rishi Baveja’ sign? I felt a sudden tap on my shoulder and was greeted with the grinning expression on the face of my French correspondent ‘Arnaud’. I breathed a sigh... Read review

Advantages: Lively, prosperous, full employment for now, fine for shopping
Disadvantages: expensive, agressive, impersonal, not a place to put down roots

...residential roads with huge houses, a highly attractive old High Street with cobbles and overhanging balconies. The beautiful castle grounds, sweeping down to Millmead and the River Wey, by which the Yvonne Arnaud theatre sits. South of the town itself there is miles and miles of lovely countryside, going all the way to the South Coast, about 35 miles away, interrupted by little picturesque towns and villages like Godalming, Shalford, Ripley and Cranleigh. Plenty of walking and mountain biking country too for those who like outdoor pursuits, particularly on the North Downs to the south of the town. Guildford is a thriving town. The university is flourishing (nearly 10000 students), and the cultural life is brilliant. not only do we have the Yvonne Arnaud, we have the new Electric Theatre, the Bellerby Theatre (part of the Guildford...

Advantages: A little of everything
Disadvantages: High street is Hilly

...When I lived in Surrey, Guildford was one of my neasrest towns and it really does have a little of everything. From the castle standing in it's own pleasant gardens, a good theatre at the Yvonne Arnaud, often previewing plays before a West End run, but at a fraction of the price.Trips along the river Wey are availiable, beautiful to get away from it all on a busy Saturday afternoon. Of course there are good shopping facilities, with speciality shops in the side streets and up the cobbled hilly High Street and there is also a modern shopping centre called the Friars for under cover shopping in comfort. Just outside the town, is the fairly modern Cathedral which is worth a visit and of course Guildford is a university town, so it brims often with young life.... Read review

Advantages: Looks to be over Carnoustie now.
Disadvantages: Has a reckless streak where a safe and sure approach would do.

...For the promotion of the game in France, a victory at Carnoustie in 1999 for Jean van de Velde would have been a great boost. Not since Arnaud Massey in 1907 has The Open been won by a Frenchman. Of course, the fact is that Van de Velde exhibited that classic flaw, as shown so often by French, the ability to have a bloodrush and lose it big style. French rugby teams have been known to lose it on the pitch with amazing regularity, with a sending off here, penalties conceded. However van de Velde really lost it big style. He later managed to play the eighteenth in six strokes using just a putter. However van de Velde has been able to come back from his shcoker at Carnoustie, and has played well. Of course until he wins a major, there will always be the Spectre of the 18th at Carnoustie. Here's hoping for his sake he can win a major.... Read review

Advantages: Nice cobbled High Street, Georgian buildings. Shopping
Disadvantages: A bit impersonal

...good hotels and bed and breakfast establishments.Culture buffs will also find Guildford does not lag behind and theatre lovers have the Yvonne Arnaud theatre to go to. Another pleasing aspect is that Guildford is surrounded by some charming countryside and many walkers use the place as their starting-point for treks over the hills of the North Downs.My memories of Guildford are pleasant ones-I was stationed not very far away and used to visit Guildford during the week and sometimes on the weekends. I always found it to be a sosphisticated sort of place with classy shops,good pubs and fine eateries. Also I should add with a lot of seemingly well-heeled residents.... Read review

Disadvantages: None

...The Rainbow Rage is not the way I went over the Rainbow. But for thousands of bikers it is an annual 100km race from St Arnaud, on the Nelson side of the Rainbow Valley, through this most fantastic part of the South Island of New Zealand to Hanmer, and a waiting hot pool plunge. For me, I went over from the Hanmer end, after doing the Molesworth High Country Station trip in the comfort of our 4X4. We saw several mountain bikers along the way and I know which way I prefer to take in this pristine sub alpine beauty. The trip has some high saddle passes where you can see high country farming, lakeside wonder, huge, craggy mountains and a gate or two to open along the way. Site seeing and photography come together and I used up so much film. This is beech clad forest and huge, gravel scree shots we are talking. I haven... Read review

Advantages: Tries 110% every match
Disadvantages: doesn't enter the major tournaments enough

...Agassi is into yet another Grand-slam final and if ever there was one player who deserved every success then it’s him. His rise from the top not once but twice has been excellent. Agassi beat Pat Rafter in a thrilling five set match, 7-5 2-6 6-7 6-2 6-3 and I can’t really see anyone stopping him now. This will be Agassi’s fifth final in the last eight grand-slam tournaments, which really shows how well he’s come back. He was low down in the rankings, but he got fit and wanted to prove that it could be done again. He fought with guts and determination his way back up. It’s like an amazing fairy tale story and one that we must really applaud. I can’t see either Arnaud Clement who beat Rudeski so convincingly or Sebastien Grosjean. The only thing that could beat him his fatigue, but I’m... Read review

...across: that the darkness of the unknown can ultimately be banished by the light of logic. On a deeper level, Eco is trying to snapshot that moment in history when rationalism defeated the unquestioned faith in, and power of the clergy. Jean Jacques Arnaud's film captures this struggle in a unique light that the author should be proud of.... Read review
