Football: Real Madrid vs Celta de Vigo

Real Madrid-Celta clashes have become something of a classic as the visitors have earned themselves the reputation of being Spain's most attractive side in the last couple of seasons. Both teams are currently riding high, Madrid in Champions' League positions and Celta, only one point behind, just outside the UEFA zone. Real's is somewhat off colour of late. Celta's firepower, from Brazilian Catanha and Russians Mostovoi and Karpin, could make them good for a point although a home win is more likely.

Journey To The Lion Rock

It's hard to describe this performance from the City Contemporary Dance Company since Pun Siu-fai, who conceived and wrote the piece, has difficulty defining it himself. It appears there will be a mix of theatre, dance and music - ranging from European folk songs to Cantonese Opera - with events unfolding in three areas simultaneously. Confused? You will be, but with Pun's track record for innovation this explorer's adventure could be a night to remember.

The new Qantas American Express Premium credit card

The most important trend among card firms today is in the field of travel related rewards. Folks wish to travel more and they're looking to credit or debit cards to help them with their frequent flier miles and the travel rewards that come with them. Whether you would like the Qantas card for travel uses only or for its low rates or the amenity of web banking you can benefit highly from having it in your wallet. (More info on the Qantas airline)

We'll take another look into the card's preferred bonus features :
One side of the Premium card that many people like is the Qantas Club invites that are available every year when you first spend with your card on select Qantas services. These 2 tickets you get are your invite to using the travel rewards that the card offers and they're available annually.

Insurance is another great bonus feature the Qantas Premium card includes that many other cards leave out. As a traveling card holder you may have a larger piece of mind knowing that you're going to always be protected against accidents abroad. Insurance is available domestically ( health and automobile ) as well as overseas. Check with purchaser service with your individual case to see what plans are available.

As you have fifty five days to spend without paying a penny of interest the Premium card is the ideal fit for someone needing to try it risk- free.
