What issues do you see arising with this European Backpacking plan?

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:22:55 +0000

Hey everyone,

I'm planning on traveling to Europe this fall after graduating from grad school. I'm a 23 year old guy that doesn't mind roughing it, but I would definitely like to have enough cash to see some local sights and have some fun. I'm planning on buying a 3 month Eurorail ticket and staying at local hostels. Attached below is my tentative schedule and budget.

What I'm hoping you might be able to do is offer suggestions or point out any problems with the travel plans. Maybe I'm not spending enough time in a certain place, or there are train issues from one place to another, or I'm missing something from my budget, not budgeting enough, etc. I'm an American citizen planning on only spending 90 days in the Shengen countries, so I don't think i'll have any Visa issues.

Also, if you have any ideas for things to do in these locations or anything like that, please feel free to offer suggestions. I also want to hit up some gay nightclubs on weekend nights, so if anyone has any info for the gay traveler, I would love that as well. Really, I'm grateful for whatever info you can provide.

Here are my tentative plans...

How much to offer for a Beijing Apartment during the Olympics?

admin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:25:16 +0000

I'm planning to attend the Olympics this summer in Beijing. A friend of a friend has an apartment there that I can potentially rent. I'm trying figure out what a fair prices to offer them would be (the apartment is a modern two bedroom, close to the World Trade Center and CBD areas, and located about a 10 minute walk from one of the subway stations).

On the one hand I want to offer them a reasonable price.

On the other hand, I don't want to offer the current market rate (whatever that is) because my experience at every Olympics (I have been to every Summer Games since Barcelona) has been that people think they're going to make enormous amounts of money only to have prices plunge in the month before the Games as people realize they have no chance to get that rate.

In addition, I think the fact that I'm a trustworthy friend of a friend (they know where I live) merits some kind of discount.

So any ideas on what a fair offer would be?
