Buying Arsenal Japan Tour Tickets

Hello. I plan to visit Japan to watch the Arsenal games against Nagoya and Urawa. However I cannot buy the tickets at their website as it is all in Japanese and I believe they need a local address and contact.

Can I ask if someone in Japan can help me purchase the tickets and send it to me please? I will pay the postage to me as well.

Thanks in advance.

Questions about one-month itinerary

Hey folks,
So my partner and I are heading to Australia in a couple weeks and I'm just now starting to wonder about all the details. I hate making too many advanced plans and locking myself in when I want to be flexible, but just wondering if I should be booking internal flights, tours or accommodations ahead of time or can I do it on the fly? I understand it's high season in the north, so will everything be booked full? Am I already too late? :)

Rough itinerary:
Fly into Melbourne
(possible daytrip to one of the following: Phillip Island, Wilsons Promontory, Grampians)
then by land to Adelaide (via Great Ocean Road)
(possible daytrip to one of the following: Kangaroo Island, Flinders Range, Barossa Valley)

After that, I'm not sure what will happen, but our destinations are Uluru/Kata Tjuta, Cairns/Great Barrier Reef and Sydney before flying back from Melbourne. We'll eithe... more »

Recent Experiences Traveling on the Karakoram Highway?

Hello,

I will be traveling the Karakoram Highway into Pakistan in about a week.

I would like to know if any foreign travelers have any recent experiences making this trip.

(1) Did you experience or see anything that would pose safety concerns?

(2) How was the weather? Was it hot or cold?

(3) Was it easy to find accommodations in Sost and Gilgit?

(4) Was it easy to obtain bus transportation from city to city along the highway?

Thanks for your help!

First trip to South America - please help!

Hey there Forum!

I'm heading down to South America with my boyfriend for a 6-week trip and would like to get some tips about a few things. I'll be heading into Lima, Peru to start and working my way down to Chile and Argentina, but I am open to anything that may be interesting or fun to experience around there. We have a 5-day trek for Machu Picchu already scheduled, but other than that, our schedule's open.

Here's some specific questions I have:

1. In Lima, which hostel do people recommend? We need one that will provide good services about travel around Peru as well as one that is clean with decent beds.

2. How best should we get to Cusco from Lima in July? Some people say fly...some say the roads aren't safe... anyone done it recently at that time of the year?

3. Any great books to read about South America and/or Argentina, Peru, and Chile?

4. Food food food! I'm a... more »

You'll Never Be Chinese

This article's nearly a year old, but I only just came across it thanks to recent coverage in the International Herald Tribune. It's an interesting take on what it's like to be a foreigner living in China. Many of the points it makes are obvious, but very rarely discussed in Western media. Just in case anyone out there had also missed this, I thought I'd link it on the Thorntree:
