Home Stay

Looking for accommodation in Cochin? We found the best place here of our whole journey. When we arrived in Cochin, we had no reservation so we where browsing around, feeling lost. But then by coincidence we found Beena. She and her husband instantly start cooking, organizing my lost wallet from the taxi and offered the best room we had so far. It was just like coming home.

Here is the contact:

Polish Homestay Immersion Programme is a unique opportunity to gain some insights into Polish culture, language as well as customs of Poland. This is also a perfect chance to make international friendships for life. Our School Of Polish can arrange polish homestay accommodation combined with Polish tuition in a small family-run language school. We place our students of Polish with friendly caring Polish families. Polish family homestay is a perfect compliment to the more formal Polish classroom teaching. While staying with a Polish host family our students can continue to practise and improve their Polish skills. For more information about our Polish tutors and region see http://www.learn-polish.pl

I’m going to study English there i found a school but they don’t have Accommodation available now :[ so i have to search a family for my own
i didn’t know where or how
please help me
sorry for my poor english.

So, right now I’m planning on going to Japan this July for 16 days on a school trip but I’m starting to second guess it all…mostly because of the cost. I’m going through the New Persepctives: Japan program (if any of you are familiar with that), which is basically a cultural study program.

The $3800 covers:
- roundtrip air transportation to and from Japan
- surface travel to and from international airports and accommodations in Japan
- Centrally located accommondations in Tokyo and Kyoto (plus breakfasts and dinners, but NOT lunches)
- all train and bus travel expenses
- all entrance fees to special attractions as per tour itinerary
- orientation materials to use before departure
- special presentation in Japan chosen by group
- comprehensive sightseeing in Tokyo and Kyoto regions
- cultural exploartion activites while in Japan which are related to selected study themes
- Homestay experience with a Japanese family
- Visits to a Japanese school

So is that a good price for getting all of that? It doesn’t include the passport fee, lunches, gifts I want to buy, gifts that I HAVE to buy for my host family, and other odds and ends. So I’m estimating roughly about $4500 total for everything I would want to/have to buy while in Japan?

I know this a good opportunity, to travel to another country…but still its VERY expensive. And my sister just pointed out to me that I could buy a car with the money my parents are paying for me to go to Japan (I just got my license…)

So any thoughts? I could still cancel the trip, but by now the program would charge a $100 cancelation fee, and I (well my parents) just paid $100 for my passport…I also just got a job, which pays me $8.55/hour but I’m saving up to pay for beauty school…

Help please!!
Is this trip worth the money?
I’m just worried about that issue…but is they money worth the experience? Anyone out there who has gone on a school trip to another country want to share their experience and advice and try to convince/not convince me to go?
- I live in Seattle
- By the time I go (if I do) I will have learned 3 years worth of Japanese

That sounds quite reasonable. You’re leaving from the U.S., right? If so, it’s a good deal.

You could buy a car, but the trip to Japan would be more worthwhile. That’s over two weeks in an amazing country. She’s probably just jealous. You can always get a car later.

Japan’s not cheap. If you did those things on your own, you’d be paying more. You’d be paying $50 just to get from Narita airport to Tokyo. You’d be paying at least $10 just traveling around Tokyo in a day by public transit. It would cost you $200+ just getting between Tokyo and Kyoto. Accomodations and meals would really add up too. Plus they organize it all for you so you’re not wasting time.

Hi all, I am a male and 17 this year and I have decided to go Perth this Sept or Oct for my first solo travel trip. Will be meeting my friend and maybe my cousin who is studying there. I like to inquiry if there is any tips or things I have to take note when I am in Perth? I heard from friends Perth ppl do not like Asian is it true? And at night Perth could be quite dangerous?

Anyway, is there any cheap accommodation in Perth or any homestay scheme or something, I like to stay longer therefore would like to safe some money.

Thanks alot for your help.

Please dont worry, I think you will find perth rather quiet and reasonably safe, the only place you could possibly run in to trouble is in northbridge (next to the city) and that is if you get into the wrong bunch of drunk people and idiots.
And no, we aren’t against asian people!! I am sure there are some racist people, as in all places, but its nothing you will have to worry about, and if you know people here, your time will be much easier…

I have been told that perth is quite comparable with canada in its people and general atmosphere, not the weather though, so if you are coming late in the year dont bother with warm clothes!

My advice re accomodation, look up a backpackers hostel in the city to begin with and go from there with finding something more long term.
I hope this helps

Images from Rajasthan, India. Plus images of amazing homestay accommodation available to adventurous visitors.

From camel treks in the Great Thar Desert to a boat trip in the placid blue waters of Udaipurs Lake Pichola, Rajasthan holds an enormous range of scenery and places to visit. Jaipur, the states bustling capital and [art of the Golden Triangle including Delhi and Agra, is known as the Pink City. Jodhpur, contrastingly, is the Blue City with its bright and faded blue houses gathered under the form of the monumental Meherangargh Fort. Udaipur, famed for its romantic beauty with its white palaces rising out of the blue lakes, is found amongst the green Aravalli hills. The beautiful ancient walled city of Jaisalmer, on the other hand, is immersed within the Thar Desert.

Anyone going for the above program? I recently applied for Yonsei KLI’s 3 week program in March. Does anyone know the limit of their student intake? Any recommendations on which accommodation will be better : in-campus, homestay, boarding house (hasukjib)? Appreciate if someone can recommend me a cheap and affordable accommodation nearby.

I went to the 5 week program last summer. Living in the dorms isn’t too bad, although if they put you in the Muak dormitories instead of the International House, it’s a good 20 minute walk to and from the KLI unless you can catch the shuttle bus. When in the dorms, they might group you with other students in your program. Most of the students in my program were Korean-American, and those who lived in the dorms mostly spoke English amongst each other. If you do a homestay or hasukjip, you might have a more authentic experience and have more opportunities to practice your Korean. The downside to that is you might have a long commute to and from the KLI, depending on where you stay.
