Bargain Europe: Camping Across The Continent
In these economic times we're all looking to find ways to save a little cash without giving up our travels. Airfares are more affordable than they have been in a long time, which means that we can at least afford to get to the places we want to visit. But what happens once we get there? Are there any affordable places to stay?Most travelers making their way across the pond to Europe tend to stay in nice hotels. Some, looking to go on the cheap, will stay in hostels along the way. But the Times Online has another suggestion, one that often goes overlooked. They recommend frugal travelers consider camping their way across the continent.
In their first article on the subject, they recommend the best place to camp in Paris. Yep, that's right, camping in Paris itself, within sight of the Eiffel Tower, on a small river island on the Seine, at a place called Paris Camping International. The place offers a quiet escape from the sights and sounds of the City of Lights, but is just minutes from the chic cafes and art houses that Paris is famous for.
And if that wasn't enough, the Times followed up that story with a list of the 20 coolest campsites across the rest of Europe. The list has suggestions for Portugal, Spain, France, Holland, Germany, Italy, and more. The camp sites offer some amazing scenery, with backdrops ranging from the Swiss Alps to the Mediterranean Sea, and they are all rich in charm, but short on expense.
Looking for a bargain trip to Europe this year? Perhaps you should pack a tent when you go and take advantage of these unique places to camp.

China has been a great experience. The students have seen firsthand that China is an emerging power in the world with a very large economy. It has been enlightening to see that China is modern and the city of Hangzhou has Bentley, Mercedes Benz, and Rolls Royce dealerships. China is surging ahead and this brings forth many issues, but the experience so far has been amazing and unforgettable.
If China could be described in one word it would be mysterious. It is in coming to China that you discover why it is the way it is. It is also in being here in China that an American will realize that China is more like America than many of us initially thought. It is beautiful here and the people are very friendly. The Chinese students particularly are very welcoming. Communication has been somewhat easy and in the worst case scenario - point to a picture of what you want to order.
