Winter in Shanghai My friends thought I was crazy when I said i was going to shanghai and Beijing in the middle of winter. At the time I said how cold could it get? Trying to show no fear. Now after reading these posts I am getting very nervous. I live in Florida where the lowest it ever gets here in the winter is 70F. and we call that freezing. I guess Dec. will be much colder then Nov. in Shanghai. he he |

Planning to Travel to Tokyo Hi there here is that info on the youth hostel. Tokyo INternational Youth hostel 18f Central Plaza shinjuku Tokyo tel# 03-3235-1107 in 2003 the cost was 3100 yen The only problem is there is a curfew like most hostels. unfortunately they really mean it. cash only. also there is a specific amount of days that you can stay at a time. example : I stayed for 5 days straight I checked out and stayed one day in a love motel and then check back in the next day. no problem! You need to call them for reservations. to find the website go to youth hostel association(YHA) and look for international hostels. The subway stop is Idabashi station. It is around the corner. 2 minutes. They even have traditonal japanese bath. The best!! Great place to meet people and be curious. any questions let me know glad to help. |

Planning to Travel to Tokyo I agree Japan can get expensive but the soba noodle shops at every subway station are the cheapest in town and very very good. Accomadations are expensive so if you are interested in youth hostel. The hostel in Tokyo is the best in the world I think. Very clean and you even have a privacy curtain for your bed. It is on the 18th floor of a mall. Wonderful view.o yes the best thing it is cheap. If you like Ryokan stye try Sawanoya Ryokan not cheap but not that expensive. If you are interested in either of these places let me know I will give address and website. |
