A: Some pretty nice things in here. However with the store just opening not a single sales associate said hi or, as we walked past the main checkout area again no greetings. Not off to a great start.

A: I was really looking forward to trying out the award winning ribs from Lancaster Smokehouse, but my experience wasn't all that great. This place is busy, I went in around 6pm and it was still a 20ish minute wait for a table for 2. I don't know if its normal but when I went in there was a lot of really fat people, I'm talking like several 300lbers, and to me this was a good sign that I was in the right place for southern bbq. The decor was plain, the atmosphere was loud, I actually felt like I was in upstate New York or something. The service was good but it felt really rushed, they have a big back log so I didn't feel I could take my time and enjoy myself. I started with the Shrimp Calas which were not bad, the pieces of shrimp inside were small but one ball didn't even have shrimp in it. I got a full rack with fries and coleslaw as my main, the portions were very American. Now I love smoked food, but the ribs were too smokey and the sauce wasn't doing much to complement the flavor. I also found the ribs to be way too dry/tough and lukewarm, this was kind of surprising to me since I came in for an early dinner, I can't imagine they were sitting around for too long. The coleslaw wasn't very creamy, it was a sad pile of wilted cabbage with a smattering of red pepper on it, the fries were decent though. I can easily take down a plate of ribs but I just didnt want to, I must've left half the rack on the plate, I didn't want them for take out either. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but to be honest I'd actually prefer President's Choice frozen ribs and a tub of Ziggy's creamy coleslaw from loblaws.

A: Ich war hellauf begeistert als ich an das Buffet trat! Fur nur sechs Pfund,also etwa 7,50EUR konnte ich mich an den diversen original kanonesischen Kostlichkeiten sattessen! Es gab etliche Hauptgeriche mit Huhn, Schwein, Lamm oder Rind, dazu Vorspeisen, leider kein Dim Sum, aber damit hatte ich auch wirklich nicht gerechnet, superleckere Spare Ribs, 3 Sorten Reis, Suppen frisches Obst und Gemuse und obendrauf tatsachlich noch Kuchen fur hinterher. Der hat allerdings nach dem Essen nicht mehr bei mir hineingepasst Das Restaurant war daruber hinaus auch sehr sauber, was, vor allem nach Starbucks Besuch, besonders hervorgehoben werden muss! Ich bin nun zwiegespalten, zum einen wunsche ich mir einen Jimmy Chung's von ganzem Herzen nach Hamburg, zum anderen bin ich um meinen Bauch froh, dass ich nicht jeden Tag verleitet werde :) Also unbedingt zu empfehlen!

A:
Waverley is a standard station. I was once at a conference where a fellow West coaster said the best thing about Edinburgh was the train to Glasgow which leaves from Waverley. It raised a bit of a laugh but Waverley is a-ok. Trains go from here to all over the place. Remember peeps, it is the UK and you'll not get the same slick service as the Continent but for accessing Scotland and the rest of the UK, it does the job. It's pretty cold as it's fairly open and a bit dark. There is a fair bit of work getting done and between the scaffolding and bits being closed off, it can be a bit confusing as to what exit to use if you come in on one of the far end platforms. When you do get to the exit, taxi's are plentiful and waiting to whisk you wherever you want to go... It does have good facilities though. Costa, M&S Food, Boots, a baguette place, BK, WH Smiths, currency exchange, cash points and the like. If I'm travelling, I allow myself extra time to grab some supplies for the train - sometimes even for my following day at work as some of the English stations I have to use have no facilities and I'm left mourning the M&S at Waverley...
