Has anybody been to Tokyo?
Can you recommend a hotel?

If not: What season is your favourite?

Autumn

Meh
I'm hoping to go to Tokyo to stay, then spend a week or so mooching around rural Japan somewhere.

"To answer your main question in Tokyo I recommend either the International Youth Hostel in Iidabashi or the Sakura Hostel in Ueno (both have easy to find via google web sites)"

Oooh, thankyou very much!

Welcome.
May I also suggest a JR Rail Pass, if you intend on travelling rural Japan? The only thing is you do need to keep moving constantly once you have it, otherwise it's not worth it.
( Bats, Mon 6 Jul 2009, 20:35, archived)

Thanks for the advice.

i don't know if prices have changed but one return to kyoto and the rail pass had paid for itself for me

As a travel agent, I'd recommend this.

i really hope they do some sort of guided tours of Dubai after the collapse
it would be so awesome to wander around all those half built skyscrapers and shopping malls in the middle of the desert

what what what
you know all the fake vegetation they are putting there is actually changing the climate now... not sure how long it will last.

tax free though hey.. think i´m gonna do 6 months out there.

i hope it does though
( well, Mon 6 Jul 2009, 20:43, archived)

why?
have you been? desert safari on buggies, camel riding, sea kayaking (cheap too), some fucking amazing bars and hotels.. not to mention the restaurants. and you get treated like a true king.

only problem is you see the other suffering badly, like the indians. and the taxi drivers. which is why i always tip them. i mean, 3 quid to work in a taxi.. in dubai!? no idea why they dont raise prices.
(richard cropper's comedy account Stephen Frizzle is on the sex offenders list, Mon 6 Jul 2009, 20:45, archived)

yeah, i really don't like the idea of holidaying in a third world country
i'll wait for the post apocalypse package tour in 10-15 years time

it´ll be a few years until some of the best developments are complete
but really, just a couple of weeks there.. it´s an experience. and incredible.

when you say 'get treated like a true king'
that doesn't appeal even slightly, sorry

One of my friends lived in Dubai
He said there's some law (may be Sharia) that says if a man is killed, compensation is given to the family.

Which means people throw themselves in front of cars on motorways. I don't imagine that it's THAT often, but he said he saw it a few times. He lived there for quite a while, though.
( Methylene Blue - electrohead, Mon 6 Jul 2009, 20:44, archived)

wtf
O_o

lots of prostitutes there too. I met my mate outside the metropolitan hotel, and there were about 20 black girls trying to open my taxi door "hey darling!" (i didn´t know them i SWEAR)... i asked about this. apparantly the rulers take their passports so they are stuck there :/

all the rulers have mistresses too who live in a seperate house on the grounds. I know a friend in IT who installs all their phone and network systems. Business deals are ALL backhanders too. :( so much for the honest joe!
