| Thailand | Experiences of Thai culture: backpacking versus 'resort tourism' Posted: Tue October 7, 2008 10:24 AM UTC
Hi everyone,
I'm doing a university assignment on the different experiences you get of the culture and local people when you backpack through Thailand, as opposed to staying in resorts. My approach is that you get a better experience of the culture and people when you backpack. I'm posting on here so that hopefully some of you will be able to comment on my claims, maybe even have some examples for me Thank you for any help, Ashleigh. |

| Sharm El Sheikh | Any advice welcome! Posted: Tue October 7, 2008 10:07 AM UTC
Hi everyone, my partner and I are travelling to Jaz Mirabel Beach Resort Hotel on 3rd November, has anyone stayed there? It's our first time to Egypt and we are going for a chill out week without the children.............bliss!!
Just need some general advice really, Currency? mosquito's? Visa's? Best trips? Tipping is a worry as we are staying all inclusive, but after reading some reviews on other sites some say its still better to tip as service gets better! Is there much hassle when shopping? Any essentials we must take from home to make our holiday a hassle free one? Sorry to ask so many questions but its better to be in the know from fellow travellers who have had the experience. Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Heidi |

| Italy | Milan Malpensa airport to Lake Garda - family of 6 - help! Posted: Tue October 7, 2008 09:18 AM UTC
I have a few questions!
1.We will be arriving late from the UK (10pm at least) next July and I need to find somewhere to stay close to the airport for 2 adults and 4 young children. Do any hotels/guest houses facilitate families of this size assuming we would like to share 1 room? 2. Milan Malpensa to Lake Garda - transportation for a family this large is complicated to say the least (as well as expensive) - what would be the easiest route for us, and cheapest? (bus, train? My mind is spinning!) Hope someone can help. |

| Romania | 2 weeks in Romania Posted: Tue October 7, 2008 08:56 AM UTC
Hi there nice and early in advance but im a plan early kind of guy.
Hoping to visit Romania in June next year. Big ask but looking for a suggested itinery as being honest I dont know that much about the place apart from Vlad and the fact the scenery looks amazing. Also advise other transport. Its seeming like I will fly into Budapest as it seems much cheaper to fly to from (North West England) I assume its easy to get into Romania from there? |

hi everybody out there!

| World | Winter Clothing, new Delhi Posted: Tue October 7, 2008 08:34 AM UTC
Hi
I'm travelling to the Golden Triangle, India 2nd half December 08. Wish to know if I could purchase good winter clothing there as I'll be going to MUSSOORIE, a hill station, snowing and all. If you know, it'll be good to know some price indication as well. Winter Wear are too expensive to buy it in Malaysia. |

| New Delhi | New Delhi airport congestions? Posted: Tue October 7, 2008 08:31 AM UTC
Hi Globies
I plan my next voyage. Is this true (what agent said) that you need minimum 4 hours to get from international flight to domestic one in New Delhi airport? That's what the agents have in their system... I went through this limit buying two separate tickets. I will have 2 hours 20 minutes for change - is this enough? Any suggestions? Thanks Wojtek |

| Sri Lanka | Galle?? December beaches with Children Posted: Tue October 7, 2008 08:14 AM UTC
I have trawled through some of the past posts, and didn't see an answer yet, so wanted to pose it now. My sister is contemplating coming to Sri Lanka for Christmas and New Year, but her biggest concern is the state of the seas around Galle at that time of year. She has three kids from ages 3 til 9, and is worried that the sea might be a bit too rough for the youngest. I've recently moved to Sri Lanka and now live on the east coast, and haven't yet had the chance to travel around much, but the one thing I know is that around the east, December will be monsoon so not ideal for her kids. She has identified a beautiful luxury villa beach-side around Galle, but needs to figure out the water conditions before booking (or heading to Brazil instead!!)
Suggestions for any other areas that might be calm seas also welcome. Thanks, |
