Advantages: Amazing value for money, great DVD and impressive looking Transformers figures !!! Disadvantages: Hard to find at a reasonable price ... it's become a collectors item (which pushes up the price)
Transformers Animated: The Battle Begins DVD Boxed Set
AWESOME
The Transformers Animated: The Battle Begins DVD Boxed Set is brilliant ... not only does it contain the DVD 'The Battle Begins' but it also comes with two fantastic Transformers Animated Figures !!!
'The Battle Begins' is a DVD that introduces the new Transformers Animated series ... a sort of 'Pilot Episode' that sets the scene for the ultimate battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons and the quest for the elusive All Spark !!! It is a great DVD for Transformers fans of all ages and an ideal episode to introduce younger fans to the animated series.
However, it is the two Transormers Figures themselves that make this set extra special because they are, infact ,the two greatest Transformers of all time - Optimus Prime and Megatron !!!
Also ...
for tourists wanting hot weather but European food etc. Because it is cheap it has become a well established place on the backpacker trail, a bit like Thailand twenty years ago. In fact twenty years ago other Asian countries were like this and my hope is that Vietnam does not change and become another Hong Kong, Malaysia or Thailand - lovely though those places are they have changed a lot in the last twenty years and not all for the better.
Getting there:
By plane:The nearest airport is in Danang, which has flights to Hanoi, Saigon and some to Bangkok, Singapore and Siem Reap, Cambodia (for Angkor Wat). A taxi from the airport to Hoi An costs about £7 as they have a monopoly but it is far less for the return journey .
By train:There is no railway station in Hoi An and the nearest is in Danang, which has several trains a day from Hanoi, Saigon, Hue ...

The Simpsons - Classics - Heaven and Hell is yet another of the 'classics' series of Simpsons DVD's. There are four episodes included here, each having something to do with heaven and the other place. They are "Bart Sells His Soul", "In Marge We Trust", "Treehouse Of Horror IV" and "Homer The Heretic".
In "Bart Sells His Soul", Bart sells his soul to Milhouse for 5 dollars after proclaiming they don't exist. He soon regrets the sale though, as his dog is very edgy towards him, automatic doors don't open for him anymore and Marge feel like he is missing something. In the end he gets it back from an unlikely source. A Bart-centric episode, it touches on what a soul is and how someone can possess such a thing. The Simpsons writers are excellent at trying to explain these things in a brilliantly comic way.
"In Marge We Trust" has Marge ...
