Spring vacation is fast approaching. We have decided to go to Beijing for a week to see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Summer Palace and other tourist spots in the city. Before deciding on Beijing we wanted to go to Japan, particularly Kyoto but unfortunately, Japan embassy requires a bank certificate that says you have U$1,500 in your account as part of their visa requirements. Another place we would have wanted to visit would be the Big Apple. At least once there, we would not need hotel because there would be friends who could accommodate us. But just thinking about the price of the airline ticket makes it not feasible at this time. There are also the visa requirements, I’m sure they’ll be as stringent as or more so than Japan’s. So I guess it will be Beijing for us this Spring Break. We just hope we can still get a good price for the tickets and book a cheap but nice and clean hotel. Our friends say that Beijing is a very cheap place stay. I just hope they are right because we have very limited budget.
