Travel - 12 July 2007

...I couldn't disagree more with that myth. I always have found the majority of NYers to be helpful, friendly, and proud of their city.

Are they rushed? They have to be, they're a busy people.

Are they cautious? They have to be, we're not talking about Oz here.

Are they open-minded? Well, in a city that attracts people from 170 different nations, speaking just as many, if not more, languages and dialects, why wouldn't you be?

Do they help their fellow human beings in times of dyer need? NYers seem to be among the first to do so.

I live in middle America (Kentucky) and I believed the whole "New York rude" myth UNTIL I visited. Now, I want to thank NYers for your gift to the world: Your great city!

My hubby and I decided this last minute, so we have to do our research...obviously $ is very important. We are flying out from NYC. It will be our first time ever in Vegas. Any nice, clean hotel ideas by the strip besides the pricey ones?
Also, any other suggestions would be wonderful!

Thanks in advance!

In a few days I have to make an international flight and I'm very new to air travel. For the first time ever in my life I've bought an airline ticket, I booked a flight very early and got the ticket like two months before the flight date.

Now here's the problem, the people at the destination where I’m going to asked me to check the flight number and time of my arrival there. I checked the ticket; it has the time of departure and flight number of the first plane. I have to make a stop and change planes at Dubai; it has the arrival time for Dubai. BUT for the second flight number and arrival time to my final destination its written VOID.

Why is this, is it because I pre-ordered the ticket too early, or is the ticket invalid? Will it bring me problems at the airport?

As for the missing flight number and arrival time, I was able to get that on the airline's website just yesterday. What was more confusing is that on their website the number for the departure plane is different from that on the ticket but the departure time is the same, this is very confusing, I hope my question makes sense. If you have an idea if all this is normal please let me know.

In India, the following places (the main Shiva temple of these places, to be exact) are said to be representing the five elements..
Water - Thiruvanaikoil
Air - Kalahasti
Fire - Thiruvannamalai
Space - Chidambaram
Earth - Kanchipuram or Thiruvarur.

My question pertains to the ambiguity with respect to the element Earth. Is kanchipuram or Thiruvarur or both the place representing earth. ?

In India there are many cities which are called, but justifiably, "Temple City" - Kumbakonam, Madurai, Kancheepuram, Bhubanesvar, Khajuraho, Varanasi ..to name a few. However, is there a consensus on one of these cities as the true Temple City ? Which one really fits the bill ?

Seems like people in this section are fond of using the word 'stir' and 'provoking' when they come into a heated argument (or to prove their point)...

"Don't stir this place" as they say...

Am I missing out on something?

so, this question may seem kind of wierd but i was wondering if there is anyway to change the way i speak hebrew.
becuase of my american acccennt i can never say the "r" or ר
correct, which really annoys me because every year i go to israel to visit my family, and i end up not talking because i am too embarassed about the way i speak hebrew.

so i know this is kinda strange but does anybody think theres a way to teach me how to get an israeli accent by using a different way of speach or something?? maybe something with the reish - ר

Do you pay for stuff in cash, your bank card [credit / debit] or online? Which do you use most often and has your payment method changed over the last couple of years?

Overseas I loved paying by card or cheque due to no bank charges, but in South Africa the bank charges are ridiculous when writing a cheque whereas elsewhere it is mostly free! Now, well, I don't have anything to spend but if I do I prefer cash! LOL

My mom, sister, grandma, and I are traveling to Las Vegas in the end of August. We are staying in NYNY and I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions. My grandma is in a wheel chair, so we have to keep that in mind when doing things outside our hotel. We will only be there for two full days, so I know we won't be able to do everything- but we wanted to take my grandma who loves to play slots! So I'm specifically looking for things to do at our hotel or near our hotel!
