Which Trip would you think is best for my situation?
Which Trip would you think is best for my situation?
I am looking at a trip with 2 other people to either
Germany+Netherlands with Rhine Cruise
Italy and Switzerland
Turkey (Istanbul and Turquoise Coast)
China (Beijing, Xian, Gullin, Shanghai)
We went to London and Paris for 10 days and it was very busy and on the go. We want something that is simple and leisurely. We want to take in the surrounding and just relax. Also we want a place that the Cuisine is more meat and etc. A place that does not have a lot of fish or spicy food. BTW
this would be in July of 2010 so maybe somewhere wiht not a lot of tourist.
I think you should go to China. It is certainly the best if you want to shop till really late or dine out. Shanghai has very beautiful surroundings and sights you can visit as well.

China has the greatest concentration of karst topography of any nation in the world. It is so well endowed with caves across the country, it could well be called the "Kingdom of Caves" Now, nearly 400 caves have been developed as tourist attractions, accounting for half of the tourist caves in the world. That said, There is only one of them that enjoys four titles-"National Key Tourist Area." "National Geological Park." "A Trop 40 Tourist Attraction" and "Museum of Karst" , That one is the Zhijin Cave.
The cave is situated in the Bijie Prefecture of Guizhou, between the Liuchong and Sancha rivers, both of them sources of the Wujiang River. The first thing about the beauty of the Zhiiin Cave is its colossal volume. Its entrance sits half way up a mountainside in the northeast of Zhijin County; it is bout l 5 meters high, 20 meters wide, shaped like a tiger's mouth. But inside this ordinary entrance, lies a world of vastness.
At present, its confirmed length is 12.1 kilometers.consisting of four levels and five subsidiary caves, with a total floor area of 700, 000 square meters-way bigger than Tian'anmen Square's 440,000 square meters. Its height normally ranges between 60 and l 00 meters, but at its highest point of about l 50 meters it is as tall as a 50-storey building. Furthermore, it cannot be traced how many collapses it took place over its long geological history to shape today's l2 splendid caverns and 47 rooms. Among the "rooms."there are five over l0,000 square meters in area; the biggest is called Shiwan Dashan(0ne Hundred Thousand Great Mountains). This is about 70,000 square meters in area-equivalent to 10 football pitches-but it is not open to tourists yet.
Zhijin Cave is not only large in scale but also rich in variety. The space formed by the roof and walls of the cave is sometimes conical, at other points arched, oblong, or square...The 6.6-kilometer route open to visitors is in some parts deep and serene, other times it is lively and simple, as high as the night sky, or so low you could touch its roof; at times it is as wide as a boundless plain, at others as narrow as a valley path, as large as the firmament, as close as a canopy, as steep as a cliff or as flat as a field.
Unlike other caves which are normally rather empty, the Zhijin Cave is like God's treasure-house for keeping the world's most beautiful natural scenery. It has over than 40 kinds of speleothems, among them stalagmites, stelae, stone "pagodas," "drums," "shields," "flowers." helictites, and "beds." Nowhere else in the world has such a large variety or concentration of deposits?The Zhijin Cave stalagmites come in a great variety of amazing shapes-frozen mushrooms, flower petals, pine cones, pointed pagodas and helmets for example. The jewels in the crown are its two unique stalagmites, the Silvery-Rain Tree and the Overlord's Helmet.
Time contributes a lot to the beauty of the subterranean world. Scientists can deduce the relative climate, topography and environmental changes from speleothems. The Zhijin Cave is a dry cave that lost its subterranean river long, long ago. Now people can only imagine what the fiver looked like. About l.2 million years ago?the Zhijin Cave collapsed because of corrosion, erosion, scouring, seepage, and changes of flow volumes, eventually forming huge chambers. About 250,000 years ago, surface water no longer infiltrated into the cave and it became a dry cave, and gradually calcium carbonate speleothems began to take shape.
One intriguing thing was the discovery of a nearly l 00-square-meter area of animal excrement and an one-meter-tall pile of hard thorns in a small branch cave on the second level of the Zhijin Cave. By isotope testing, experts have identified them as the remains of a group of extinct hedgehogs that liked cave living. Over 1,000 years ago, hedgehogs dwelt in this cave. They must have lived there for a long time to have left such "deep" remains.

raising money for our trip?
ok, a group of my friends and i are thinking of going to Shanghai for the summer of 2010. but the thing is, a couple of my friends don't have any money at all and they're kinda poor...and we need spending money there so how do we raise money? we're thinking car washes and garage sales. but thats all we can think of. how can we raise money and do you know any great group rate travel agencies that are great? thanks..
It would be smart to have a look at your own personal budget. Calculate your income against your expenses, by knowing your expenses. It would be a easier task in trying to eliminate luxury expenses, which are items or activities you don't really need and can do without. By eliminating those expenses, you will have more money to spare which you could allocate yourself like however many dollars per month or per week you will save for the trip.By saving money you are essentially earning money as well in a sense.
A way of earning money without having to be a certain age or have certain credentials. You could baby sit or tutor, which are usually easy jobs and you generally get paid cash by the hour.The garage sale is also a good idea, since you can get rid of items that you do not need and earn money that way. But generally unless you have a lot of items, a garage sale won't garner that much money since the items sold are generally relatively cheap in price.

All About China
Written By: TravelChinaTour.com
China is one of the most famous ancient civilizations, with a history spanning over 5,000 years. China is the most populated country with a large land mass and abundant resources. China opened up to the world in 1978, joined the world trade organization in 2001 (WTO), and hosting the 2008 Summer Olympic games in Beijing. With a much more open market policy, there's increasing number of oversea visitors gaining interest in China's culture, history, scenery, and lifestyle.
There are 56 ethnic groups in China, with the main nationality being the Han composing of 91% of the population. The remaining 9% of the population is made up of the remaining 55 ethnic groups.
The main language is also the Han Language, spoken in all parts of china and in Asia. The Hui and Manchu ethnic groups also speak Han, while the other 53 ethnic groups use their own languages. The Han-Tibetan language is used by 29 ethnic groups, who live mainly in the southern regions of China.
With a more open market policy, and improving standards of living, chinese citizens have been able to go abroad as tourists since 1997. China has approved 52 countries as tourism destinations. About 20 million Chinese went abroad in 2003 - 14.8 million (about 73% of the total) were private travelers. China is ranked one of the top ten nations for outbound tourism.

There's an old Chinese adage that says: "People view food as the most important". That pretty much sums up my view on food as well. I love to eat all types of food and cuisine, and I especially enjoy the hot and spicy food of the Szechuan province in China.
China's food and cuisine has had a long history. The five flavors of spicy, sweet, bitter, sour, and salty has been used in Chinese cooking over 3,000 years ago. Today, traditional Chinese food ranks among the worlds best and most popular. Authentic Chinese cuisine focus on 3 key aspects: taste, color (display), and fragrance, and Chinese cooking is very particular about cutting style and cooking temperature.
The official currency of China is the RMB (RenMinBi), or translated as "the people's currency". The basic unit is the Yuan (or kuai), or equivalent to what we call the "dollar" in North America. Next unit down is the "Jiao" (or also "mao"), or "10 cents". Finally, the smallest unit is the "Fen", equivalent to our "penny".

shanghai tunnels tour
Portland, Oregon, sometimes called the Rose City, is a city steeped in history, environmental consciousness, and outdoor activities. Most visitors head here to explore Mt. Hood and other natural beauties, but Portland is not to be missed.
#1 - Portland is a Metropolitan City
One of the best things about Portland includes its gorgeous skyline, especially when viewed from the river. A favorite way for many to spend an afternoon is by basking in the sunlight on a lunch cruise aboard the Portland Spirit, which trolls the Willamette and Columbia Rivers.
The city has a population of more than 575,000, three large colleges, hundreds of restaurants, and dozens of year-round activities. Once thought of as a small rainy town out West, Portland has a lot of surprises in store for the new visitor.
#2 - Unique Art Scene
Draw artistic inspiration from Oregon’s cultural and social flavor; the monthly Gallery Walk in the Pearl District or the Last Thursday art event on Albert Street are a great way to meet people and enjoy Portland’s unique arts scene. Portland’s famous Saturday Market is also a popular tourist and resident destination. After a stroll through the myriad of booths selling local arts and crafts, head to the Portland Art Museum for even more serious art examples.
#3 - The Secret Shanghai Tunnels
Between the 1850s and 1940s, dangerous events were taking place underground in Portland. Today, you can tour the tunnels that stretch from the North End to the South End of the waterfront, and learn about how many workers were abducted and sold to sea faring pirates to work in the Orient. Additionally, these tunnels were used in prohibition to create and distribute illegal alcohol.
While not a pleasant piece of Portland history, it is a fascinating and important reminder of the way things once were. The tunnels can be toured with a guide.
#4 - The Rose City is Green
The people of Oregon make smart environmental choices. Starting with the eco-friendly light rail, the effective recycling program, and its dependence on renewable energy resources, Portland has been ranked one of the nation’s “greenest” cities time and time again.
Additionally, Portland demonstrates its dedication to the environment through a variety of eco-conscious restaurants and farmer’s markets. Local ingredients show up in everything ranging from fresh breads to Oregon-grown fruits and vegetables.
#5 - Cyclist’s Haven
Portland has more than 200 miles of paved bicycle lanes, which include lanes on city streets and dedicated paths throughout town. Because of this and because of the city’s widespread mass-transit system, a car is not necessary to get around.
#6 - Better Weather Than You Might Think
It’s a common misconception that Portland is a rainy, dreary place. Yes, it’s true, it does rain here quite a bit during the winter months, but each of the summer months see less than an inch of rain. You might even find yourself in sweltering 100 degree heat on some of those same summer days too. But that’s rare. Usually the average daytime temperatures stay in the upper 70s.

Any restaurant, food, water and/or travel suggestions in Beijing, Shanghai and Xian?
I'm going on a tour and am kinda getting nervous about the food and drinking water in China. What are some tips for eating and drinking healthy on this trip? I generally dont eat beef, pork or chicken.
well, there is pretty much of lamb and fish here...
things with drinking are very fine, just use the bottles water...
as for eating... to be completely safe, don't eat in the small safes outside... normal restaurant are really reliable... and you can also buy some common western food in the supermarkets (if you are heading to big city)...
there is nothing to worry about, really...
China is a civilized country nowadays so just get rid of the prejudice and enjoy the trip 
A Tour of China
