Travel - 28 November 2006

i will be traveling to japan in early april '07 and i was trying to find a good book about japan to help me prepare for the trip. this is my first international trip. in the past, i have used the dummies books (i.e., hawaii for dummies, etc) and they have been very helpful, however, they do not make one for japan. i went to the book store and i was able to find a couple good books on customs and etiquette of japan, as well as, a basic japanese phrase book. i guess i'm looking for more of a travel guide book (i.e., where to stay, tips on getting around, best cherry blossom sites, etc)....frommers makes a book, but was hoping there was something simpler out there (like the dummies books). i should also mention that i will be spending my time in tokyo. thanks for your help.

Could you list a few English words that are uncommon in Canada? For example, Loo..?? Or is it pronounced Lou? I think it means toilet.
We speak American English, so we're not too familiar with the British one.

Ok, so I am planning on moving to Los Angeles sometime soon and am looking for a nice area to live that is not way too expensive. I don't mind paying $1200 for a one bedroom apartment as long as it's in a relatively safe neighborhood. I have heard that the southern suburbs are nice and that the western neighborhoods are okay. Which ones are the safest but also relatively close to cultural venues and other cool places LA is renowned for? Also, I've heard the San Fernando Valley is nice, but I've also read it's the heart of the porn industry...is it odd living next door to people shooting porn films...seems to me like it would be a bit uncomfortable. Any thoughts?

Hi! Can anyone tell me what's the latest date you can post a Christmas card to the USA for it to reach in time for Christmas.The love of my life will be spending it there on business and won't be home til the 27th. I want to sent her a card to cheer her (and me !) up. Can i sent it recorded delivery to ensure safe delivery? Someone at work told me it's not always guaranteed. She's in Atlanta Georgia by the way, if you have to take time zones or whatever into account. Thanks.

The song that they play of the television commericals. I can't understand a word they are saying but they sure sound happy about it. It's pretty snappy but still unrecognizable.
