Hotel City Search : Travel to Japan Japan is a little off the flight path to Sydney or Melbourne , and somewhat expensive. Reading signs can be a problem, and the culture change might be a shock. Culture Shock! Japan : More than any other country in this series, the guide to Japanese customs and culture can be a real face saver. Brief Guide to Japan Not all Japanese carry cameras at home, but most eat raw fish while sitting on the floor with their legs crossed. It is with more luck than judgement that you steer yourself out of a Tokyo subway station to the exit you require. A name of a hotel -- in a totally alien city, where there are too many roads to signpost, and even the taxi-drivers have to go on a paper chase navigating by known landmarks -- is all you have to go on. If you booked a city hotel at the airport reservations, this could well be you. The first night in your tv and video, towel and toothbrushed, slippers by the bed, hotel room for the typical businessman, is a soothing stay; something of a jet-lag convalescence. The second can also be very nice, but the third seems like a blatant misuse of funds. How can you justify a week's food-bill on eight hours between clean sheets? Japan -- Expensive? Japan doesn't have to be as expensive as you think. Try a temple lodging stay - smart, relaxing Japanese style rooms with 2 delicious meals at reasonable prices. Tabehodai restaurants are great places to eat and drink - all you can eat for about 2000 yen. For travel around the Fuji / Hakone area, make use of the Hakone free pass . And of course, a budget, luxurious and romantic accommodation alternative is a love hotel -- from 5000 yen for the room. Sent in by : Inside Japan Tours . Getting Around Japan The sleek, streamlined, white and blue bullet-train draws up casually, like a waiter in a white tuxedo ready to take an order. The Hikari Super Express -- Shinkansen in Japanese -- is the cream of train travel. On the station platform, neatly marked yellow arrows and numbers indicate where the corresponding carriages stop. Everyone waits in orderly fashion. Even the gaijin (foreigner) can get this one right. Hiroshima No one should visit Japan without taking a moment to quietly contemplate, in Hiroshima. The City of Hiroshima : The city of Hiroshima faces the tranquil Seto Inland Sea that prides itself on its beautiful myriad of islands. The city is rich in nature with its surrounding picturesque mountains that are ever changing with the four seasons and its six rivers that flow through it. Kumamoto and Mt. Aso If you're ever in the area, be sure to visit the Smiling Samurais and the Smouldering Volcano. Tokyo Tokyo, Japan : This is one of the best personal pages that we've come across, and is a highly recommended multimedia tour of the Japanese capital. Great work from Roger and Marilyn and a must see for budding homepage builders. Social Rules in Japan At bath-time in Japan , wash and rinse all the soap off before getting in the bath; so hot that you want to add some cold water to it. Japanese don't wear outside shoes in the house, slippers on tatami mats, or house slippers to the toilet (toilet slippers are for that). And don't forget to change back afterwards! So much of Japanese life is full of rules, ceremony and rituals -- keeping grace and saving face. After a hard day, the Japanese salaryman on the train lets his guard down and starts to unwind. Ties are casually loosened, while the lesser composed hang up their jackets and remove their shoes. Cans of beer are opened and consumed enthusiastically, because the conscience chocolates are already in their coloured wrapping, beside the leather brief-cases, on the racks above their heads. The small Japanese girls, in dark-blue uniforms, find it almost impossible to wheel their vending trolleys through the human mass, yet they struggle on gamely with boxes and plastic bags, smiling and bowing, beautifully masking any signs of stress or strain. Before leaving the carriage, they turn to face the passengers, give a high pitched cry of gratitude, and bow once more. Japan Tourism Japan's Heartland : A wide variety of historical, cultural and natural sites are on offer in the Tokai Region -- or Japan's Heartland. Japan National Tourist Office : The starting point for a trip to Japan. You can choose a region to explore, and there are even tips and hints for budget travellers. Traditional Japan : From the tea ceremony and geishas, to Japanese gardens and the public baths, every thing you need to know to appreciate the culture and customs of the Japanese. What You're Eating in Japan A colourful display of plastic, in a restaurant window, passes for the menu. You can not be sure what you are about to eat, but at least it gives you a rough idea of what to expect. Something like large liquorice allsorts turns out to be rice wrapped in seaweed. Then of course there's the pink sections of raw fish and deep-fried vegetables, all waiting to be tickled by chopsticks. Sushi Worldwide : It would be a good idea to telephone these restaurants first as they might no longer be open. If they are, you can always send your reviews of them into John Maraist using the forms linked to each restaurant listing. Tokyo Food Page : A complete guide to Japanese cuisine and eating in Tokyo, with recipes, articles on Japanese cooking, restaurant listings, culinary travel tips and more. Japan Accommodation Hotels in Japan Living in Japan Jobs in Japan : Japan job listings and free resume posting available. Also includes a personal ads section.

Disney Vacation Club Jul

Epinions.com - Disney Vacation Club Join Epinions | Help | Sign In Disney Timeshares Read Advice Write an essay on this topic. Disney Vacation Club Jul 13 '00 My Family recently purchased part of Disney World. How you may ask? Through a Disney program that is called the Disney Vacation Club. It's better than any time share in the way that you can stay at any disney resort, at any time. This includes the Disney Cruise Line, as well as various first class resorts around the world. This is how it works. It's almost like purchasing stock. There are a certain amount of "points" you can purchase per year. I think the current rate is $65 a point. It starts at 100 points a year and goes up to 2,000. You get this amount of points, every year until the year 2052. The points are payable through a payment plan and depending on when in the year you purchase, you can give in your points for that year as a discount. You can buy more points at any time. You buy into a resort which is called you "home" resort. Currently, you can choose between 4 resorts, two in the Disney area. The resorts are Disney's Boardwalk villas, Disney's Old Key West Resort, Disney's Vero Beach Resort, and Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort. They are currently working on making Fort Wilderness into one too. My family bought at the Boardwalk, I think that Old Key West is sold out, it was the first one built for the Vacation Club. The Boardwalk and Old Key West are located inside Disney World, Vero Beach is in Vero Beach, Florida, and Hilton Head Island is in North Carolina. The difference between your home resort and any other resort is that you can make reservations for 11 months in advance as compared to 4 months for any other resort. You can stay at any Disney resort, except for the All-Star Resorts and the Swan and Dolphin. Points range from each time year in seasons. Of course, the middle of July is going to cost more than the first week in September. Weekends are more than weeknights, and rates change yearly. There are also worldwide first class resorts available such as the Plaza in New York, as well as resorts in Spain, England, and even Australia. You can also take an adventure. There are whitewater rafting packages as well biking expeditions in France and African Safaris. They are all for a fixed amount of points (a lot of course). Some international resorts require a $70 dollar reservation fee and are only available in 7 day increments. You can bank and borrow points in certain times of the year. What this means is, if you know you are not going to use any points this year, you can bank them all for next year to have mpre vacation time or do something extra special. You can also borrow points from the next year if you need extra for this year. My personal favorite resort is the Boardwalk. It has a nice atmosphere and is definitely a family setting. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool is amazing. There are two, as well as a kiddie pool with a spouting elephant statue. The big pool has a 200 foot water slide that looks like a roller coaster on the coast of old Atlantic City. That is the whole theme of course. Right downstairs is the Boardwalk itself, with 3 restaurants, a bakery, a piano club, and swing dancing club, art gallery, and at night it light up and there are carnival games for the kids to play. The Disney Vacation club is definitely an excellent choice for any family that frequents the Orlando Area. Me being from Miami, my family goes there about 4-5 times a year, and with DVC, we can stay in first class resorts every time!
