I remember well my first days in London as a young 21 year old thinking what am I doing here. London can be daunting place when you first get there, particularly for me when one day you are living in a town of 2000 people and 2 days later being in one of the bigger metropolis' in the world. I look back at the way things were then and it must be so easy now - email, the internet, mobile phones, feasibly you could have a job even before you leave. And I remember trying to drive around London in a campervan going around in circles saying "I think that's the fourth time we've gone across this bridge". Oh for a GPS navigator that day. Well anyway here is a list of things that I would do and get before hitting London for your overseas trip. |

Background
The Charsfield Hotel is on St Kilda Road close to the centre of Melbourne. The hotel is surrounded by office buidings and would be very convenient if you were visiting this district for work. You are able to get a quick tram ride into the centre of the city so this hotel is ideal if you prefer to stay outside of the CBD but still be close by. I was visiting Melbourne to go to the MCG for a football game and I found that it very easy to get into the city and then go to the game. The hotel was great I was in a room at the front of the hotel, there was a little noise from the street - mainly trams going past but wasn't too loud or a distraction. The room had a lovely bay window and was nicely furnished. The bathroom was nicely fitted and if I had to pick one negative the toilet was very close to the wall - it was quite a narrow room. The building is beautiful - looks to be from about 1880's or 90's if I had to guess. They bill the hotel as 4 star and I would totally agree with this rating. |

When we told our friends about our adopted hometown, they were horrified. “There’s no cinema? No nightclubs? Not even a museum? What on earth do you do for entertainment?” They were living in Seoul, possibly one of the world’s most hectic capitals. We on the other hand were spending our year in Korea in a rather different setting. Cheongyang has a population of 12,000 and a surface area that means you can walk across the entire town in under 15 minutes. Where Seoul boasts wall to wall restaurants, bars, nightclubs and norae bang (karaoke rooms), Cheongyang’s attractions are pretty but less than exhilarating: lots of hills, a few family-run eateries and a couple of well-kept riverbanks. This was not our first choice of location. Before setting off to teach English in the Far East, we had spent weeks doing our homework. We’d agreed on a smallish city in the centre of the country, choosing it for its perfect population of 80,000 – not too hectic yet not a one-horse town. But on arrival in Korea we discovered our destination had been changed to a town so small that even the locals couldn’t pinpoint it on a map (or the space it would have occupied if it were large enough to cartographers to bother with). |

Background Rendezvous Hotel is located in the centre of Singapore just off the eastern end of Orchard Rd. The hotel is only a short walk from Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station which makes it very convenient to get around the city if you don't want to use taxis. You are able to travel to many places quicker on the MRT due to the one way nature of Singapore's road system. (particularly at peak hour). The area around the hotel is well serviced with restaurants and has a very close 7/11 for any grocery needs. Also very close to the hotel is the National Museum of Singapore which is a beautiful building dating back to 1887. The hotel is 3 stars and has about 300 rooms. I found the hotel staff to be efficient and friendly however on the negative side I thought the in-house movies at S$18 was too expensive. The rooms were clean and of good quality. The hotel has a very nice pool area on the 3rd floor a picture of it is below. Normally when I go to Singapore I stay at the Copthorne Orchid Hotel but it was being renovated at the time. I would normally stay there due to the lack of traffic noise. I was on the 8th floor at the Rendezvous and didn't experience very much traffic noise at all. On the whole I was quite happy with my stay there and would recommend the hotel if you are looking for a 3 star budget hotel in Singapore. |
