In China, is it normal to negotiate hotel/ servcd apartment rates?
Q. I am wondering if I can still negotiate the displayed rates of hotels in China. Im thinking of going to Shanghai and I want to stay in New Harbour Serviced Apartments in . It is a four star apartment hotel. Ive been to China and I know that bargaining is a common practice when buying. I am not sure if it is also applicable to hotel rates. If so, how low can I negotiate the hotel rate from the asking rate?

A. You can always try to bargain. It may or may not work and there is nothing to lose.

For hotels I usually pay the advertised rates. They are usually already discounted. I also search online for better rates with the English and also with the Chinese name. Within China there are also countless Chinese websites that give hotel discounts.

Once you are in lobby hotels have usually 2 rates, the displayed one, and one with a a fixed discount that everybody gets. It's hard to get more discount then that, if you are lucky they through in a free breakfast.

Some Mandarin will help, otherwise they may have no idea what you talk about.

What questions may I be asked while on my interview for a Reservations Agent at a five star hotel?

Q. Pretty soon I should be having an interview with the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver for a full time Reservation Agent. What questions should I be ready to answer? What kinds of questions should I ask in return? A. They will probably first ask you to talk about yourself and work experience, and they will ask you about your availabilty. They might ask if you've ever worked at a 5-star hotel before and how you would handle a difficult situation/unhappy guest. They might also ask how well you know the area. I would ask them how busy they typically are, what type of training they provide and what shifts they're looking for someone to work.

How much money should I bring for my trip to Japan?

Q. Some friends and I are planning on making a good 3 month long trip to Japan. We are considering backpacking to save on hotel fee's, but aren't ruling out the possibility. Are there any hostels in Japan? How much money should each person plan on bringing to support themselves for the whole trip? A. Coming over, eh? I've been here for 3 years now, and I can't really say how much you'll need. It depends on what you plan to do. Japan does indeed have hostels. They're pretty cheap. THere are also places called pod hotels, where you basically slepp in a pod, and everything else is communal. Those run about $30-35 a night. There are also comic book/relaxation stores that let people sleep there for free. They have showers, but not much else. I recommend Japanhotels.net to get a good idea of how much a room will run you. So, estimate about $50 a day for lodging. You can actually eat pretty cheap in Japan, if you like ramen and cheap sushi. I'd say abo
