Thanks for your Comments Jian Shuo, since I posted my last question/comment, I read some more of your blog entries regarding Hong Kong and CTrip. You gave great advice on how to travel to Hong Kong. It definitely appears to be much cheaper to enter Hong Kong via train from Shenzhen than to fly directly into Hong Kong. I reviewed CTrip's website, but I've found that they do not accept foreign credit cards (like mastercard, visa, american express, etc.) at this time. I really wanted to buy the discounted fare of only 450CNY (+150CNY tax/oil) to fly from Shanghai to Beijing on November 16, 2006. It listed the normal fares as 1300CNY (+150CNY tax/oil). Since I can't buy the discount tickets online (I don't have a Chinese credit card), I have to wait until I arrive in Shanghai's PVG airport to buy all my plane tickets for travel in China. What desk do you suggest I go to in Shanghai at the PVG airport? I know CTrip has a desk there. Do you know if I can find discounted fares like that on CTrip's website? My main concern is that I will be charged a lot more money as I will only be able to buy the tickets a couple of days in advance. Finally, I have a question about the trains. If I can't find discount plane tickets for these trips, I plan on taking overnight trains for the following: Beijing - Xi'an; Xi'an - Yichang; Changsha - Shenzhen. I found a good website that gives train schedules and prices: http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/ I see that this schedule will change on 29 October 2006. In the winter months (primarily when I plan to travel in November), are there still daily overnight trains between the cities I mentioned? Thanks again for your help. I hope you had fun on your vacation!!! Amber |

Thanks for your Comments Jian Shuo, I need your help!!! My husband and I will be travelling to China in November, but we need more information on trains and flights between cities (specifically, the times and prices). We only have 2 weeks to visit, so we need to travel as effciently as possible. We will be visiting my Spanish friends who will also be in Shanghai on November 12th to the 17th when we take a flight to Beijing. While in Shanghai, we plan to make a small trip to Suzhou for a few hours, and then possibly another to Huangshan. Do you think Huangshan is definitely worth the visit (I understand that it is 3 hours outside of Shanghai)? Of course, we would like to invite you and Wendy to join us for dinner on one of our nights in your city :) Don't worry, we are a fun group of people - all in our 20's. Also, could you tell me the place in Shanghai to buy tailored shirts and suits for the best price? From Shanghai, we will take the earliest flight to Beijing and stay until November 19. That leaves only 2 days to visit the Great Wall and the Hutongs. Then, we will take the last flight of the day to Xi'an. We plan to rent bicycles to ride along the city wall early in the morning, visit the terracotta warriors and the Shanxi Lìshi Bówùguan museum, and then take an overnight train (16 hours or so) to Yichang. In Yichang, we plan to take a "peapod" boat along the Shénnóng Stream (off the Yángzi River) for the 2-hour journey through a long, narrow canyon past the famous suspended coffins of the Ba people, howler monkeys, waterfalls, the Dàníng and Shénnóng gorges, and the Three Gorges Dam. After that small excursion, we plan to take another overnight train to Changsha, where we will take an early morning bus for 2.5 hours to Nan Yue Heng Shan mountain to take a cable car to the top and visit the monasteries. Following that, we plan to return to Changsha during the late afternoon in order to board a plane to either Lhasa or Hong Kong. This is where I most need your help. In mid-November, will it be too cold to visit Tibet? Are there daily flights to Lhasa from Changsha? How much do these flights cost? The alternative is Hong Kong. Are there daily flights to Hong Kong from Changsha in November? How much do these flights cost? Finally, we will need a return flight to Shanghai to catch our 17:00 flight back to the USA on the 26th. I plan to purchase our airplane tickets once we arrive in China (as you have advised in your blog). Where is the best place to do so in Shanghai? Will it be possible to make all of our flight arrangements at the same place in Shanghai (although some will be between other cities outside of Shanghai)? I appreciate any help you may be able to offer as well as any additional pointers you may think of! Thank you, Amber |

MSN Messenger Virus BR2002 I'm having the same problems. I tried system restore but for some reason it won't restore. Does anyone know what I can do to make MSN work? (I can't install an older version because I don't have the install files.) |

EndAds and BlockMessenger Thank you so much for your suggestion. Endads.com was driving me nuts! I'd wake up to 20 or 30 of their stupid messages each day. I too thought about formatting my drive and starting over. I'm glad I came here first. You just saved me a ton of backup and restoring. I've sent a complaint email to their provider, I'll let you know what their response is. |
