| Seoul | Posted: Sun January 29, 2012 06:52 PM UTC
Hi,
I'm trying to work out if I should spend 6 or 7 full days in Seoul and was wondering if anyone can help? I've already set aside 2 days for trips to the DMZ and Suwon so in total I'll be spending 8 or 9 days in Seoul. I want to do the usual tourist stuff like visiting Palaces, walking around popular areas, going to the N Seoul Tower etc. I'm still researching what I can see around Seoul but my initial feeling was that 5 days would be enough but thought I might add an extra day or 2 if 5 days would be too short. Thanks |

We are staying in an apartment on Rua Maria Lourdes Pintasigo in July and would love to know about the area. Is it safe at night, what's nearby and how far will we be from town.

| Bundesland Salzburg | Posted: Sun January 29, 2012 05:56 PM UTC
Trying to hammer out an itinerary for our 2 night 2 day Salzburg visit and we have the first day/night pretty much covered and on the 2nd day I wanted to visit Hallstatt in the morning and a salt mine in the afternoon. I've been looking at tours for these 2 places but it seems I can't get one that would have us do it in 1 day since a lot of the salt mines are closed until mid april and we are there in the first week. Any suggestions how we can do both in 1 day using public transport (we don't drive)?

| Ukraine | Posted: Sun January 29, 2012 05:31 PM UTC
Hello,
me and two friends will be watching the Netherlands-Germany game in Kharkiv in June and already booked a flight to Kiev. The idea is to see Kiev two days, travel to Kharkiv by night train if possible and then stay 2 days in Kharkiv, night train back and fly back to Amsterdam. I think we'll manage the night train and found some help for the accomodation in Kharkiv but accomodation in Kiev seems almost impossible, unless we are willing to pay 500 dollar a night (-: which is quite a big blow to our budget.... So could anyone advice us where we can stay in Kiev June 10-12, a bit central or near the train station, and against a more affordable price? Any bed to sleep in in a safe environment will do. Also: any special tips for what we really should see in Kiev the 2 days we will be there? Any help appreciated! Ton de Vries from Rotterdam |

| Glasgow | Posted: Sun January 29, 2012 04:00 PM UTC
Hi everyone!
I'm taking my wife up to Glasgow in March. It's her 50th! We're staying at the Hotel du Vin and eating there on the Friday. We need to find somewhere to eat with the extended family on the Saturday. There could be just 8 people or there may be 20! I suggested an Indian restaurant. Ideas? My sister-in-law suggested the Art Lovers House but that's a bit of a tradition with my wife's family. The 'Chip? Too expensive for most! Any other ideas in or around Glasgow? Thanks. |

Hi all,
I am deciding which tour operators to join for the Milford Sound Trip. I have narrowed them down to Mitre Peak or Real Journeys. Would any one that has used any or both operators for the Milford Sound trip share what's their experiences like? |

I am 20 years old and going on holiday with my 15 year old cousin. We went to Bulgaria last year and it was brilliant. We are looking for somewhere different this year. It needs to be hot and not to expensive. It needs to be somewhere that my cousin can come out with me to pubs and clubs?

Hi,
Planning to Kunming then Dali for 2 days and Lijiang to visit many places around there. I am worried about the height as I am sensitive to altitude. Please need advice from those who have ever been there. To go to Shangrila, any problem ? And what about Jade Dragon snow mountain ? If I go there, but stay on ground without taking the chairlift up the mountain. I know that I may have to carry oxygen tube or chinese medicine but will this really help ? Thanks. |

| Donsol | Posted: Sun January 29, 2012 12:13 PM UTC
Hi all nice people!
I will go back to Philippines in March, and will guide my best friend who visit for the first time. He wanted to see the whalesharks, so i was planning to go to Donsol with him. Now I got info that its just as good to go to Oslob outside Cebu, instead of Donsol. Since we will be staying in Cebu, its probably easier to travel to Oslob by bus, instead of going to Donsol from there. I want to ask if Oslob is almost as good for watching and swimming with whalesharks as Donsol? Is there any good accomodation in Oslob? Is it easy to get assistance in Oslob? During my 8 trips to Philippines i always loved everything, and people are so friendly and wonderful, but its always best to ask, and I have got good response from this forum before. |

| Pakistan | Posted: Sun January 29, 2012 11:34 AM UTC
I am looking for a venue anywhere in Pakistan for 10 days which may have following :
1. Located at a Hill Station or some place outside city where we can view and feel the natural beauty. 2. Have three separate rooms to accommodate 10-15 person in a curricular sitting position for study. 3. Have enough space to sleep for around 20 boys and 20 girls in separate dormitories. 4. Have a kitchen or a small room or area that can be used as cooking area. 5. Have space to serve food. 6. Have space to have outdoor games. 7. Have enough showers/bathrooms and toilets for boys and girls separately. I am looking for the lowest possible cost for this as the whole group will be students of university. Please consider month of July for weather of that area. It can be a large house. Ideally it should be away from noise and pollution of cities. Looking forward to hear from you, Warm regards, Asher Mehboob. |

is there any suggestions for day trips from Sofia during winter period?
we wont have a car so it must be easy to do it by bus or train. what we're looking for is to visit a small town in the morning, walk around for 1-2 hours, probably see a monument if there is any around(old church, monastery, museum etc), have lunch and return back to Sofia. |

| Sri Lanka | Posted: Sun January 29, 2012 10:40 AM UTC
Hi there!
Researching for a trip to Sri Lanka I read from older posts varying opinions regarding how feasible / rewarding can be to travel at backpacker cost. So many posts mention steep extra charges on foreigners and many locals trying to charge up market tariffs even if they own simple guesthouses. Maybe the Sri Lankan government doesn't want that part of travel market? I read also that government charges really expensive entrance fees to popular sites. Backpacker cost is not really set in stone by anyone, but maybe could assume that might go around 30 us$ - 30 euro for solo travel? And if probably it is possible to travel at a low cost, maybe you struggle a lot and miss too many good things? Any ideas/ experiences on feasibility for enjoyable backpacker travel would be great! Many thanks Nicolas |

Hi
looking for some ideas of places we can fly to from London in mid-February where we are likely to get warm enough temperatures to at least be able to relax in a deckchair round a pool for a week. (so not rainy season!) Don't want to spend a ton of money and don't want to fly more than 4-5 hours. Any ideas welcome! Thanks, Karen |

I have business in Eskisehir March 18-22 (2nd trip there), and I'm traveling to Amsterdam on March 25 from Izmir. Would it be feasible to travel by rail from Eskisehir to Kayseri Thurs. afternoon/evening to visit Goreme on Friday, then travel by rail to Izmir to see Ephesus on Saturday before my flight out on Sunday? If not, then what would be a good use of those two days if I go to Izmir on Thursday?

We are getting into Ft Lauderdale airport at 11:45 in the evening and checking into a hotel in Cypress Creek. We are taking a cruise out of Port Everglades the following day.
Does anyone have an idea if there are airport shuttles from Ft Lauderdale airport to Cypress Creek and how much? What about shuttle from Cypress Creek to Port Everglades? I would like to have an idea of how much each trip costs per person. I would appreciate your input. Thanks. |

| Peru | Posted: Sun January 29, 2012 07:46 AM UTC
Hello,
We'd like to visit Peru and rent a car. But all the rental car companies we found apply limited mileage for Peru (200-300 km/day) what is quite stupid for a country over 1 million sq.km.... Do you know a rental car company applying the unlimited mileage for Peru? Thank +++ |

| London | Posted: Sun January 29, 2012 06:13 AM UTC
I'm going to London for 5 days in March 2012 by myself. I'd like to know how much money should I take for food and drinks (breakfast lunch and dinner). I'm not so much of a fancy diner, but I'll probably have meals like fish and chippers, sandwiches, sushi etc. And then the ocassional pint or two at the pubs.
I have £100 set aside for entertainment. Flight and accomodation (backpackers' hostel) already taken care of. Please advice :) |
