Hong Kong, Hong Kong
On the way between Japan and India we stopped off in Hong Kong for three nights.What a place.This was the most crowded city we had been to and after having just been in Tokyo that was saying something.The airport and public transport were all superb however and really new, the manners of the local Cantonese were a little forthright however.…

re: Santiago, ChileSarah I don't want to get into semantics here but your right the fare is the cost of a pssneager’s conveyance. Tax isn't conveyance. Landing fees are not conveyance. Last time I checked (which I admit was a long time ago) the government didn't impose a per pssneager fee or tax on each coach ticket sold which the coach operator was required to collect on behalf of the government when it sold the ticket. Rail is not a good example because it's a controlled situation so let’s get back to bus companies for your Bristol example. Now, I will admit that Bristol Bus Station might charge National Express a fee to use its facilities but usually that is a fixed price per vehicle and not per pssneager. This would be similar to the landing fees paid by the airlines to the airport. The airlines (like the coach operators) include this in the fare since it doesn't vary dependent on the amount of pssneagers. With the exception of fuel surcharges the reason for separation is for accounting purposes. To identify how much goes to each party. If you look at an airline ticket you will notice each of these charges shown separately, the fare followed by the taxes and fees. Each tax/fee has a code which identifies what it's for. In many cases a flight ticket isn't just A to B. It could be A to B to C to A. At each point in the journey there are different fees and taxes to be paid none of which goes to the airline and therefore none of which is part of the cost of conveyance. I agree (and have stated previously in this thread that the total price should be the advertised price). I'm just trying to put an alternative view. Incidentally, something that took me a while to get used to when I came to live here in the U.S. was sales tax. Unlike the UK where prices include V.A.T! The prices in stores here don't include tax. Tax is added at the checkout. The advertised price (or the cost of the item) excludes tax.About travel agents commissions! I have to disagree with you here as well. Agents don't always earn commissions from their suppliers. In fact very few, if any, airlines pay commission. Any agent will mark up an air ticket because otherwise they wouldn't make any money. Some airlines do offer some agents with high volume override payments which are commissions by any other name, but this is not the general rule. Package Holidays and in some cases charter flights do pay commission and generally travel agents won't mark those up. However, there are exceptions and the travel industry is moving evermore to being a fee charging service as suppliers cut costs in every way they can. This of course brings us into the area of what a travel agent is. Some are just booking shops that sell you whats in the brochure and take a commission from the supplier. Others act as a consultancy, making bespoke arrangments to the clients exact needs often with suppliers that don't pay commission. Clients using the latter will often be happy to pay a fee becuase of the higher level of service they receive. A good professional travel agent with experience and the customers best interests at heart will, to their client, be worth the fees thay charge.You are right. Some people know naff all about (the mechanics of) travelHowever, we are getting off the point here which is.. No Ryanair can't justify the fee but (I would suggest that) in its opinion why should it?

re: Nazca, PeruPooja Hello Web Admin, I noctied that your On-Page SEO is not that great, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I noctie that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword .wait there's even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That's right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at.

re: Hong Kong, Hong KongLita I was just in South Africa, specifically in Cape Town, and while I'd love to say that it's no more daunerogs than any other big city, that's not really true. The city does have a very high crime rate, an unfortunate byproduct of the huge disparity between rich and poor. Tourists who wander into the wrong areas at night have a high risk of running into trouble. My husband and I were mugged on our first night in the city (the thieves didn't get anything, and we also realized after the fact that we were certainly not in the right area to be in at night another couple staying at the same guesthouse was also mugged in the area we were). But I don't think that's a reason not to visit. The same common sense precautions that we really should take anywhere (but often don't, with no consequences) should be taken in Cape Town:when in doubt, take a cab (always a metered one) as in any place, don't carry more cash then you need at night know where you should and should not go at night ask at your hotel or guesthouse and travel in groups when possible on busy streets in Cape Town like Long Street and Kloof Street, you'll have no problems, just avoid dark, quiet side streets at nightI also think that the city is working really hard on making sure that it presents its best face to the world. The influx of people may mean that more criminals will be looking for their chance to make some money, but I also think it will mean a greatly increased security presence. I don't think the safety issues should keep anyone from visiting (lots of people go and have no troubles at all), but visitors do need to be a bit more vigilant than they might need to be in other cities.
re: Ice-skatingMichael My family's heltah cards were up for renewal and queuing in the post office for hours they directed me to the website, saying they no longer renewed them over the counter. Like some of you I first went onto the ehic website which charges and smelt a rat. Apparently search engines take you to this site which is not illegal and the post office is powerless to act. That said I can totally recommend renewing over the phone it is quick and simple and doesn't require pushing hundreds of buttons simply call 0845 605 0707 have your EHIC card with you as it will ask you your PIN number. It took less than three minutes and they send within a week.
re: Driving Dahli desertSefine , that is not always a bad thing. When I was a boy, my fatehr owned two handguns, and it never occurred to me to pick one up. If I wanted to shoot, I asked my fatehr and we went shooting. But those guns were my fatehr's, they could hurt people, and they didn't belong to me. When I was very small they were out of reach, of course. When I was older, my fatehr taught me how to use them safely.We live in a very different society now. The only reason I suggest mandatory sentencing for crimes committed with firearms is that the stigma of committing crimes with firearms seems to be quite low nowadays. An ethical framework begins at home, but not very many parents seem concerned with that at present...though I am finding more and more parents who do care about more than their salary or the newest fancy car to drive. Some of the poorest parents (in terms of money) are among the best of parents (in terms of parenting), if you will excuse the world play.I could be wrong, of course. Most posters to websites don't admit to that kind of possibility, but I do. Yet the facts remain. It is certainly true that crimes committed using firearms have increased greatly in number. I am happy to hear other, better solutions."Bobh" makes a great point, and it illustrates why my Libertarian friends don't seem to respect me much. On the one hand, I think it is strange that we require testing and licensure for drivers---along with mandatory insurance in the several states in which I have lived---but not for firearms. On the other hand, there is no mention of automobiles in the Constitution. I am reminded of the old science-fiction story where the motto goes: "The right to buy find weapons is the right to be free."But we don't live in that world, sadly. I am willing to compromise a bit. To me, it all comes down to personal responsibility. If I carry a firearm, I am 100% responsible for it. But most governmental entities do not agree. So they try to institute controls. I am trying to find a compromise (according to Ambrose Bierce, that is defined by a solution which angers everyone).I don't mean to trivialize the firearm issue, but I do tend to see it in light of the automobile issue. It costs money to get "drivers' education," to take the test, and to get the license. Ditto the insurance required most places. Does that discriminate against the poor? How about older people who lose the ability to drive safely. Yup. But notice that most places have "workarounds" for that in many cases.But "Bobh" makes good points. Playing Devil's advocate, I would say that drivers' licensure is not the same as firearm licensure due to safety issues of the license holder, and their ability to protect themselves.Yet, as Larry Niven once wrote: freedom multiplied by security equals a constant. The more freedom, the less security. The more security, the less freedom.Again, just my thoughts and I appreciate the responses. "Eric Blair"
