travel tips
Dear lj-
Because some of you are travel gurus, I figured I'd ask for advice on what looks to be a crazy whirlwind tour of China and Japan this summer. I'm going to Tokyo (2 days), Kyoto (3 days), Xi'an (1 day for the terracotta warriors), and Beijing (3 days) this June with Nick, my sister, and my dad (who can't do anything requiring large amounts of physical exercise- his knees are terrible).
Any tips on things to do, places to see, stuff to eat (or not eat)? or just general thoughts on how to navigate through cities with languages we don't know at all while physically sticking out hugely? We'd greatly appreciate any input!
Thanks!
