China, a leading country


Have you ever thought about going to China?
We were suggested that we could just book a hotel on the spot but we were a little bit afraid, so we decided to do it in advance thanks to http://wired-destinations.com/hotels/China/index.htm because they were offering very good deals.
The hotel in Shanghai World Mayfair Hotel was absolutely excellent. We have paid 50 euros per night, and believe me, it was much more than what we had expected. Check the site http://www.newworldmayfair.com/ and then you will understand everything!!! Don't forget this hotel when going to Shanghai (China)!!!! And due it through Wired Destinations!!!!
This country is what you had never expected before. Great food (with interesting, tasty and undiscovered dishes), great shopping of good quality such as japanese style clothes and accessories, the greatest hotels with good price/value standards, great and cheap transportatin (taxi, metro in big cities, boats in coastal cities, and cool high speed trains)... Anything you can imagine, apart of course, of a valuable historical fund to remember.
Chinese is an extremely difficult language and english is not vastly spoken but apart from this fact, to get along by yourself is the funniest thing you can do.
China is well known highly populated but you should take it as a fun part of the whole journey.
China is cool. You will love it or hate it, but it will not be indifferent to you, at all!!!!
By the way, the main reason why I went to Beijing was a wedding!!! check it out!!!

Hong Kong, world capital


Hong Kong is an amazingly clean city. Apart from smoking being widely forbbiden in bars, restaurants and public parks, streets are quite clean. When going to Hong Kong do not forget going for shopping. Get lost in Causeway Bay and in Kowloon as well.
You can't miss going to a Japanese restaurant (you'll find many around the city and a very good price), going to the Peak by bus (nº15), is much cheaper and takes you around the other part of the mountain.
Do some shopping in one of the several beauty shops where asian brands such shiseido are way much cheaper. In these beauty shops you will find many cute devices for face and body as well as beauty products you had never seen before!!!
Your last day in the city can be as easygoing as any other day, by going to Central and doing your flight check in in the city so you can forget about your luggage!!!
When going there, please forget about Finnair http://www.finnair.com/ whith small spaces between seats, with often delays on flights, and with terrible food on cabin. Trust me, we had been flying with several other airlines and in Finnair we were missing small things such us socks, brush and tooth paste, and of course, individual tv screen as they have in Air France, British, etc.
We booked our hotels through http://www.asiarooms.com/ and it was a great experiences. Apart from the fact that they have an excellent feedback as quick as possible the hotels they are offering trhough their website are great price/value. We finally chose JJ Hong Kong Hotel and it is recommended!!!
