Which, barring some kind of miracle, is what you'll end up with.
Better resign yourself to living 3 to a room (or 6 to a trailer) in
Carbondale, or Basalt, like all other Aspen seasonal employees.

There is an excellent bus service which leaves from Madrid Barajas Airport
every 10 minutes and travels into the centre of the city. The city centre
terminal is Colon Square. It costs 275pts and is very efficient.
Taxis are much more expensive, if you're lucky you'll only pay about 1,500pts
but it could be much more because they often switch off the meters and give you
an arbitrary figure at the end of the journey. Unless you want to be dropped
directly outside your destination don't take a taxi.

The best way to travel around the city is by underground, maps are available at
the airport and elsewhere. Buy a ten journey ticket which costs around 500pts,
with this you can travel any distance, a single ticket is around 115pts and is
not worth it unless you're only taking a few trips.

I can't remember any street called Salud, if I find anything on it I'll let you
know. If you require any further information such as recommendations for visits
or restaurants please let me know.

Have an enjoyable visit.

This little part is already 13 lines long....over 50% of the 
recommended maximum.  I always try to write up something about 
the trips that I take, but I would be hard-pressed to reduce 
my wording down to this level.  In my trip write-ups I always 
try to:  

 o  Explain tidbits of culture so that the reader can better 
    *appreciate* the place I'm explaining.  

 o  Explain tips and lessons learned on how to get around.  

 o  Explain dangers and annoyances and how to avoid/deal with 
    them.  

etc., etc.  I could not accomplish this with a list of one-liners.  
I don't think that a short, distilled list of things to see would 
answer the questions of rec.travel readers.  HOWEVER, I *do* think 
that some kind of archive is an eminently good idea.  But I would 
press for something like what rec.scuba has, which is more of an 
archive of articles (reviews on equipment, reviews of dive locations, 
etc.).  I would propose that someone somewhere (not me and not here) 
set up a directory struction where rec.travellers could submit their 
travel reports.  Perhaps some kind of length limit would be needed 
(say, 100-150 lines maybe), and also be sure to attach the name of 
the writer to the subject line (so that if you find a particular 
submitter much to or against your liking, you can look for or avoid 
other articles by the same person).

When I lived in California, I used to go out of my way to call it Frisco, especially
to City residents.  I used to like to see them cringe, and was glad to be from out
of town (ie, from somewhere else, just like mostly everyone I met who lived there).

"Frisco" has an honorable lineage going back to the last century, much older than
the Herb Caen-generated campaign of the last 40 years to "Don't call it Frisco!"

If you're in Colorado, though, call it "San Francisco," since Frisco is a town
in Summit County, near Dillon and Silverthorne.

I have in fromt of me The London Transport Travelcard journey planner.
There are six concentric zones. The outermost stations in zone 1 are:
Paddington, Marlebone, Baker street, Euston, Kings cross/St Pancras,
Old street, Liverpool street, Aldgate East, Elephant & Castle, Earl's
Court, Notting Hill Gate.

To reach some additional tourist traps (and some of the cheaper hotels)
you'll need a two zone travelcard.
The outer limits of zone 2 are: Willesden Junction, Willesden Green,
Hampstead, Archway, Manor House, Finsbury Park, Mile End, Bromley-by-
Bow, Bow Church, Clapham South, East Putney, Turnham Green, North Acton.

Zone 2 includes the leg of the Docklands light railway to Island gar-
dens. This is a very nice trip (no driver on the train, only a guard,
try to get a front seat). From Island gardens there is a foot tunnel
to Greenwich.

The travelcard is also valid in the busses and the trains of Network
SouthEast. This includes dozes of stations and hundreds of bus stops.

Last spring/early summer, a one day travelcard was GBP 2.50 (two zones).
A 7 days travel card for two zones was GBP 10.90. Additional fair from
Heathrow to the edge of zone 2 cost GBP 1.40. To use a travel card one
must have a London Transport photocard. This is made on the spot, free
of charge, a passphoto is required. Maps of the underground network are
available (free) at all stations. I suggest that you also ask for a
travelcard journey planner because that shows the zone boundaries.
The travelcard is not valid before 9:30 AM Monday to Friday.

I'm sure, this must help someone...

   to avoid the rain as much as possible?
 - How rainy is Singapore in the middle of November? I understand the

   some hours a day?
If anyone has first-hand information about the weather as well as any
other information about things to see or do (which are not listed in the

I would also like to know what the price levels on Canon cameras are in

STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL ADVISORY - Cameroon
============================================================
CAMEROON - CAUTION
 September 29, 1992

The Department of State advises U.S. citizens to exercise caution 
when traveling in Cameroon.  Disruptions may occur during the 
presidential elections, scheduled for October 11. While foreigners 
are not likely to be the targets of politically motivated attacks, 
U.S. citizens are advised to avoid political rallies, demonstrations 
or large public gatherings.

Banditry and petty crime are increasing problems in many areas of 
the country, including the major cities and towns.  Travel on rural 
highways at night, and even travel on the highway between Nsimalen 
Airport and downtown Yaounde, is dangerous.  To curb banditry, 
security forces have established checkpoints throughout the country. 
 All persons must show their passports, residence cards, drivers' 
licenses, or vehicle registration documents at these checkpoints.  
Photocopies of these important documents should be kept in a secure 
location separate from the originals.

While taking of photographs is not officially forbidden, security 
officials are sensitive about the photography of government 
buildings and military installations, many of which are unmarked.  
Photography of these subjects may result in seizure of photographic 
equipment by Cameroon authorities.  U.S. citizens are advised to 
seek prior permission before taking a photograph of a specific 
subject or location.

U.S. citizens traveling to Cameroon may contact the U.S. Embassy or 
the Consulate immediately upon arrival to register their presence 
and to receive updated security information.  The U.S. Embassy is 
located in Yaounde on Rue Nachtigal, telephone 222589 or 234014.  
The U.S. Consulate in Douala is located at 21 Avenue du General De 
Gaulle, telephone 425331 or 420303.

No. 92-167

This replaces the previous travel advisory dated March 25, 1992, to 
advise U.S. citizens of the potential for disruptions during the 
period surrounding the October 11 presidential elections and of the 
deteriorating crime situation in Cameroon.

In late 1984 I visited Interlaken with my sister, brother and cousin
as part of a 5-month trip.  We stayed in the youth hostel and took the
train up to Grindelwald.  I remember it as one of those magical days
when everything goes right (not all days on a long trip are like that!).
It had just snowed the night before, and the sun was shining brightly.
The area was incredibly beautiful.  We took a random walk out of the 
town, and followed a path that led to the base of a glacier.  A tunnel
and small room had been carved into the glacier, and a 4-ft evergreen
was placed in the center of the room (this was approaching Christmas).
The blueness of the glacier ice against the sunny sky was prettier
than my camera could capture.  No one else was around.  

We didn't make it to Zermatt, but we enjoyed Interlaken/Grindelwald.
Very quiet in the winter!

I have to wonder if this is an urban myth.

I've heard it too, and even have had my Nikons registered at
US Customs, years ago.  However, after multiple trips to Europe,
with several high-end cameras incl. medium format gear, I have yet
had customs ask me where I bought the stuff.  Has anyone else been

I'll probably be going trans-Atlantic again in the next couple months,

What's the nightlife like nowadays? Something attractive for a group of
20-25 year olds? A couple of years back the nightlife was pretty much
taking action in the biggest hotels, but we also had a fabulous time at
restaurant Neva. What are the top highlights as of today?

St Petersburg is rumoured to have a fairly active "rave" scene. Anything
happening on these days?

Where to go shopping? Gostinyi Dvor used to be the place to go, but I'd
have a hard time believing that there are no new shopping areas in town.
At least I would be interested in buying a good quality mens suit and
other clothing, not to mention a leather shoulder bag.
