I want to travel to Tokyo this September!
My friends and I plan to go to Tokyo this September. We won't go a packet trip, contrary, we want to go by ourself. In this way, we have to do lots of things by ourself. Such as making the room advance, planing for the scheduel. This is the first time that I go abroad! I get a little nervers and a little exciting.
However, I want to search for help!!
All of us can't speak Japanese. We only learn some easy words like "thank you" or "sorry." We help there will be someone can be our tour guide! All of us will very appreciate.
We can speak in Chinese or English!
Thank you.

Re:Re:beautiful places to visit in China
Thanks for the travel reminder, especially for us in the United States who take safety and security for granted, relatively speaking. Must be interesing when a person travels and sees so much beautiful scenery in the middle of so many people problems. Linus

beautiful places to visit in China
I hope I'm putting this question in the right forum, especially for those who know first-hand. What are the most scenic and beautiful places to visit in China? I'm thinking in terms of natural scenery, not big and crowded cities. I know China is so big and there are so many choices, but if you have a suggestion or opinion, please share. I heard these three provinces were particularly nice: Yunnan (like the city, Dali), Guanxi and Xinjiang.

Re:Tokyo+Kyoto
You'll find there is a lot more to do in Kyoto than in Tokyo. Tokyo is the modern capital of Japan, but has only been so for around 400 years. Kyoto was the capital for much longer, therefore you'll find many older buildings and cultural sites.
You're going to see a lot of temples and shrines in Kyoto, so it is important to know the difference. A shrine (jinja) is dedicated to the shinto religion. A temple (otera) is Buddhist. Most of the temples and shrines are well known for their gardens which are absolutely beautiful. You'll also see people tying notes onto trees and throwing money into a box and ringing a bell. This is a form of prayer. People often go to the shrines or temples when there is something specific they need or want. You'll often see students in their school uniforms doing this right before exam time!
One of my favorites is Ryoan-ji which has a very famous rock garden. I highly recommend taking some time at this temple to just sit and contemplate the rocks. You'll learn a little about Buddhism and about yourself, as well. The ancient Japanese used to incorporate rocks into their landscapes because they believed that they grew like plants (only much slower... Research the words to their national anthem in English. It's really cool) Also, make sure you check out the devices the gardeners use to keep away deer and other animals. Very ingenious...
It is a good idea to take a guided tour of Kyoto. If you choose not to, taxis can get you almost anywhere you need to go. If you're more adventurous, you can rent bicycles. I did this once and it was a lot of fun.
