So I have some places to stay in Tokyo and Hong Kong now.
Taito Ryokan
This traditional Japanese style house was built in 1950. I looked at a lot of ryokans (traditional Japanese inns) and youth hostels and after reading reviews I decided on the Taito Ryokan. The cost is 3,000 yen a night (about $25.50) and it is located in the Asakusa area.

Tatami mat floors.
South Pacific Hotel
I decided on this hotel after researching many on
http://www.tripadvisor.comThis is a great site to find out person reviews of hotels all over the world. I ended up booking with Orbitz because their booking fee was less than other sites. This is a 3 star hotel, and costs around $86 a night.

Can you spot it?
So this brings the entire trip, airfare and lodging, to $1967. Not bad for two weeks in Japan and China.
