                <description><![CDATA[Cracow Life is a website about Cracow/Krakow that has soul! In particular I refer to the drink section to research good pubs and bars and night clubs for a piwo (beer), and there's usually loads of good public reviews too so you can get a flavour of what each place is like and how popular they are. They also have feature articles on things like nightlife and the various tourist attractions.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[It's a small cockle stall selling, yep you guessed it, cockles. But they also do the MOST amazing hot chocolate with bits of Mars Bars floating in it and topped with marshmallows. V indulgent and naughty but a great winter warmer.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This website is about the real Budapest, and gives very interesting background details about the history, culture and architecture of this beautiful capital which is slowly losing some of its unique features (old presszo bars, neon signs, dingy borozos) as it changes into a modern European metropolis. Written by a Hungarian speaker, the articles featured go behind the facade and into much more detail than a guide book could manage.<br>It has a wealth of information for people who really love Budapest and want to know the city better.<br>Check out the recent story on the Trabants - really interesting!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[British bar/pub, the best place in Chengdu to watch sports (rugby, footy, cricket, boxing, whatever is on satellite) and a civilised place to have a few beers, relax, and chat. <br><br>Chill out on the sofa, natter at the bar, sup in the barbershop chairs. Excellent Brit memorabilia, from footy programmes to classic photos of celebs, and the staggeringly artistic screwdriver on the wall.  <br><br>Also check out the quote of the day on the blackboard. Old Speckled Hen, Abbot Ale, Tiger, German lagers, a tasty range of cocktails. Occasional dancing ensues.<br><br>Open afternoon until as early as necessary.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[La Perla was Hemingway's hotel of choice when he stayed in Pamplona during the fiesta season. Recently refurbished, the stunning decor is in keeping with its striking original belle epoque style. <br><br>Despite the luxurious nature of the establishment, the staff were happy for us to just walk in and enjoy a drink in the basement bar, so we could further imagine the place in Hemingway's time. The charming bartender made us a house special, a whisky and champagne cocktail, and told us stories about the seven unmarried sisters who used to run the restaurant.]]></description>
