FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Russia Travel Guide Driving in Russia can be a challenge, given poorly maintained roads, road hazards, corrupt traffic police, and the frequent accidents. Also, with trains and public transportation systems, there's not much reason to drive. Furthermore, according to Russia's Ministry of Transportation, only about 40 percent of Russia's 135,000 towns are connected by roads, and of those, about 40 percent are substandard. The other roads aren't much better.
However, Russia's eastern part is now connected to its western part, thanks to a newly opened section of highway linking Chita to Khabarovsk in Russia's Far East. With this highway section, is now possible to drive the 6,214 miles (10,000 km) from Moscow to Vladivostok. Of course, eager drivers should be aware that only about one-quarter of the eastern section of the highway is paved. The rest is gravel-topped, with plans to have the entire highway paved by 2080.
Russian officials expect that the transcontinental highway will help move goods as well as people, lowering costs of items intended for the burgeoning Chinese market. Prior to the highway, air travel or the famous Trans-Siberian rail routes were the only other feasible ways to cross Russia's vast geography.
Like elsewhere in Eastern Europe, car theft is common. Park in secured lots or well-lit areas.
You will not find many car rental agencies, and those that exist will usually want to give you a driver as well as the car.
Rules of the Road
So, you still want to drive? Then here are some rules of the road.
When you are stopped by the traffic police, you will be informed of the violation. Theoretically, you will issued a ticket and the officer can take your fine on the spot and give you a receipt for it. They are also known to take "payments" without receipts. Larger fines need to be paid at a Sherbank office.
You need a valid drivers license from your home country, and a certified translation of it. If you are planning to drive in Russia for more than six months, you will need to get a Russian drivers license.
Do not drink and drive.
Speeds are 60 km per hour (37 mph) in urban areas and 90 km per hour (55 mph) outside of these areas. Speeding can get you fined. Russia Travel Guide Index

Extensive worldwide travel options include the 'Shogun Tour' of Japan. Explore: Japan 'Shogun Trail' Tour | Central Asia Tours | South East Asia Tours | Free Brochure Request Japan Travel Guide, climate: Best: March-May, Sept-Nov. Worst: July, August [rains, heat, humidity] Beware Japanese holiday accomodation problems: New Year [Dec 29-Jan 6], Golden Week [April 27-May 6], O-bon [midsummer] Length of stay: Minimum worthwhile stay, not incl. flights: Tokyo only - 4 days Recommended: 2 weeks, Tokyo & Kyoto Festivals Guide: Feb Lantern Festival, Nara : 3,000 ancient lanterns are lit, with dance, at Kasuga Shrine Feb, Snow Festival, Sapporo, Hokkaido : gorgeous, massive ice/snow sculptures & 'let's get wrecked' ambience. March, Water Drawing Festival, Nara : Spectacular religious night festival with torches and chanting, at Todaiji monastery. Late March, early April, Hanami : Japan gets plastered under the cherry blossom trees. Date depends on flowering. May,Toshogu Shrine Festival, Nikko : a huge fancy-dress parade and sacred dance at a supremely beautiful shrine . July, Gion Matsuri, Kyoto : a parade of monstrous, wonderfully decorated floats. Also good for a few days before the parade. Mid-July to mid-August, O-Bon Festival nationwide : date depends on local council. Festival of the Dead, paper lanterns on water, candle ceremonies etc. Oct, Festival of Ages, Kyoto : massive historical dress parade. For some precise dates, more suggestions and information see: Exotic Festivals Japan Activities Guide: Walking and Hiking: Nikko, Chichibu and Hakone Parks are not far from Tokyo. Best during the week. Hiking and Climbing: Mt Fuji [3,700m] is a serious hike, esp. non-summertime. Hot Springs and Baths [Onsen] , esp. 'rotenburo' [outdoor pools] are fun, functional and authentic. Traveller warning - No soap in the pool! Skiing Dec-April. Nightlife is lively and colourful, if expensive, and it's totally ok to get reeling drunk and throw up on your neighbour's shoes. Unless he's American. Japan Star Guide: Monuments **** Shopping and souvenirs ***** Walkability ***** Food Quality and Variety ***** Value for Money **** Hotel Prices and Value ** Beaches ** Wildlife * Landscape ** Local People **** Architecture *** Safety ***** Nightlife and Clubbing ***** Health Problems ***** Museums **** Why Travel to Japan? This is a great, confusing, fascinating, crammed, funny country, full of contradictions - not least of which is the mix of ultra high technology with ancient traditions. There are few great 'big' sights, but lots of terrific little sights, from exquisite elevator ladies in department stores to leather-clad rockers in Yoyogi park to funky old wooden restaurants [Akachochin/red lantern] to weird capsule hotels... It's so safe that you'd have to pay someone to mug you , and teach them how to do it, though the current youth attitude is not looking good. The food is superb, varied and not necessarily expensive. Traditional hotels [Ryokan] are relatively cheap and interesting. Domestic travel systems are superb. Try the bullet train if you can afford it. Downside: - It's sometimes expensive, crowded and hectic. - There are plenty of dull, endless suburbs, hideous overhead powercables, concrete, concrete. - Quaint trad clothing like kimonos are rarely seen outside ceremonial occasions. - It's not tourist oriented , so comprehensible signs can be rare and ATMs often don't like foreign credit cards. Where to travel in Japan: 1] ***Tokyo. A huge, busy city with lots of action, big and little. See the Imperial Palace, Asakusa area, Ginza area, Yoyogi park on a Sunday afternoon, Shinkuku at night, Roppongi at night, Shibuya love hotels, Sumo wrestling, Kabuki [at Kabuki-za, Ginza?], Hama Rikyu Japanese garden. Tokyo National Museum? Disneyland? Little known factoid: the set designer for Blade Runner was inspired by Shinjuku. 2] **Nikko. A recreation area, with a sensational temple, a waterfall and some lovely walks. 2hrs by train from Tokyo. 3] *Hakone. Another favourite mountainous, rec and hot spring area, esp. in the autumn, with great views and a superb futuristic museum. 1.5hrs train travel from Tokyo. 4] ***Kyoto/Nara. Hundreds of elaborate temples, buddhas and zen gardens, tho' central Kyoto has the usual urban sprawl apart from the Imperial Palace. Also see a tea ceremony, Geisha, Katsura Imperial Villa [& gardens] and Himeji castle nearby. 5] *Hida-no Takayama. Very old, traditional, rustic town[aka Little Kyoto]. 6] *Nagasaki. A museum and park dedicated to the A-bomb, a fine recreation of old European homes in the south and a full-scale, lived in Dutch town in the north. 7] Hiroshima. The first bomb site, also with an excellent museum and park and Japan's #1 sight [according to locals], the 'floating' Itsuku Shima Shrine, in Miyajima, not far away. 8] Yokohama, Osaka, Kyushu, Hokkaido, Okinawa. Not worth travelling there unless it's for a festival or some special interest or you have lots of time.

By staying at the headquarters hotel, you not only help us keep registration fees low, but you also get valuable discounts on local attractions and on in-room connectivity . By contracting rooms for our attendees, we significantly reduce hotel charges for meeting room rental. When those sleeping rooms are not occupied, we face significant financial penalties. Those penalties ultimately force us to raise registration fees. With costs going higher and higher, we are working hard to negotiate the very best hotel rates for you and to keep other conference expenses down, in order to keep registration fees as low as possible. We appreciate your help in this endeavor. TRAVEL Airports Anaheim's location in the Los Angeles metropolitan area makes it easily accessible by air.
