I was never a Porsche enthusiast, but one test drive and I completely blew my car budget and drove away in a Cayman S. The car is an absolute pleasure to drive.

I have to admit that I was very wrong. Our stay at the Trump International in NYC was a pleasure. We were upgraded to a junior suite that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~316357447300 Tue, 6 Feb 2007 12:26:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_316357447300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_316356857476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shermeela - While I normally prefer to pamper myself at 5 star hotels, I spent a weekend at the Westin at Times Square last week. The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Broadway so if you are a theatre goer, you can't get any closer than the Westin... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~316356857476 Tue, 6 Feb 2007 12:19:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_316356857476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_311769403012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shermeela - As an Indian, and someone who has gone to great lengths to find good Indian food, I have to say that Kaj is as good as it gets in the Philadelphia region. This area just doesn’t offer any great examples of Indian cuisine, so when I am in the mood for a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~311769403012 Sat, 27 Jan 2007 08:58:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_311769403012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_311769140868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author shermeela - Before I post my comment, I should explain that I am Indian by background and have been enjoying Indian food around the country and at home for many years. As any Indian will tell you, restaurants must often change recipes to fit American tastes... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~311769140868 Sat, 27 Jan 2007 08:51:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_311769140868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_311768813188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shermeela - I have given Morimoto several opportunities to impress me, and have walked away each time wondering what people see in this place.

I have to say that I only use them when I absolutely have no choice, as their service is downright offensive. The service allows you to add a tip... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~311545728644 Fri, 26 Jan 2007 19:49:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_311545728644?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_216205856388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shermeela - I purchased this product at Sephora, hoping to fade away some sun spots I have on my cheeks and neck. I have been using it religiously for over two months and don't notice much of a difference.

This hotel is the ultimate in service and luxury and this becomes apparent the moment you land in Beijing. Our complimentary Rolls-Royce... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~214854766212 Fri, 26 Jan 2007 19:23:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_214854766212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_152346857092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shermeela - The Mandarin Oriental is a true gem. I have experienced this type of sensible luxury only in Asia, so I was pleasantly surprised by this find. I find Miami and South Beach to be a cheesy, abnoxously foul city, yet this hotel makes you forget that.

This tiny medieval city is absolutely stunning. The Croatian coastline is beautiful, clean and still undiscovered by tourists. My husband and I visited last year, and had a very nice time.

The depiction of her life as a repressed Saudi wife, her... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~152344563332 Fri, 26 Jan 2007 19:23:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_152344563332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_152346070660?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shermeela - How refreshing it is to come across such an intelligent social commentary. Brooks is a capable writer who concisely demonstrates the new patterns of social behavior. He does this without critique, ridicule or dismay. Instead he uses observation and humor... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~152346070660 Fri, 26 Jan 2007 19:23:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_152346070660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_116180684420?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author shermeela - While the topic seems interesting enough, I feel that the analysis of what it means to be a loner was too rudimentary to arrive at any conclusion in particular. This book will stroke the ego of any recluse (myself included), but does not provide any evide... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~116180684420 Fri, 26 Jan 2007 19:23:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_116180684420?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_127078731396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shermeela - I find the company's advertising practices deceptive. Recently I tried to purchase a sale item from its on line store that was marked down to $11.99. However, once I added the product to my shopping cart, the price was listed at $14.99. This happened as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~127078731396 Fri, 26 Jan 2007 19:23:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_127078731396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_116184616580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shermeela - The Hyatt Regency Hotel in Belgrade is by far, the best hotel in Yugoslavia.

The Siberian wind chills the city, making it difficult to explore all the sights on foot, so bundle up and bring comfortable walking shoes.
