Budget Travel Asia
Never have I met anyone who has found prices in Japan to be cheap. On the contrary, everyone I know thinks that Japan is not really a haven for budget travelers. And I agree. However, if you are fascinated with the country and the culture, there are still ways to tighten that belt a little. You cannot expect it to be cheaper than, say, Bangkok but you do have options when it comes to the level of spending you will be doing during your visit.
As what you may expect, staying in hotels can be expensive. The price depends, as with hotels in other countries, on the amenities offered, location and the number of stars.
For budget travelers, your best bet would be to stay in:
Youth Hostels.
These are just about the same as its European or American counterparts. The only difference would be the breakfast.
Minshuku
is the Japanese version of a bed-and-breakfast. This is an even greater option (just about the same price as a Youth Hostel) as this would allow you to truly experience Japanese lifestyle.
Gaijin (Guest) Houses are best for those who plan on staying in Japan for a month or so. Of course, shared apartments (kitchen and bathroom are shared) are a lot cheaper than private ones.
Cheapest Option:
Of course, nothing beats staying with a local friend. Should you have one, don’t be shy in asking for a favor. The worst thing that can happen is that he/she will say no.
The budget hotel concept was only introduced in China a few years ago, despite the fact that this has been a major business model in Europe and the US for years now. It has, recently, been becoming more popular. So popular that China’s hotel operators are planning on having more low-cost accommodations to meet the growing demand.
One of those planning to expand is France’s Accor. They are expanding to cover the market in coastal areas to the inland cities. In addition, they have agreed to develop 30 budget hotels in Shanghai, Xian and Chongqing.
Apart from Accor and other international hotel giants who are zooming in on China, domestic brands are also expanding all around the country.
This IS definitely good news for budget travelers who are planning to head to China soon.
Then we have the Philippines, when people think of visiting Southeast Asia, they think of Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The Philippines has been overlooked by the world in favor of its more famous neighbors. A lot are unaware that the Philippines, despite the fact that most just focus on the chaos and the poverty, do have a lot to offer to visitors.
Apart from the beauty that this country of 7,100 islands has to offer, visitors will also be surprised at how friendly the people are and how almost everyone can communicate well in English.
And yes, travel to this country is as cheap (if not cheaper) as its neighbors. If you do not know much about this Pearl of the Orient, you may want to head to these wonderful sites: WOW Philippines, PinoyTravelBlog and LakbayPilipinas.

One of the things I love about blog posts is that they provoke or spark a thought in my head. Once that happens, I feel like I have to comment hoping it’s helpful to others. Because there are so many blogs with different points of view, they challenge your thinking and perception. It’s at these moments when you have valuable insignt others may not have had, including the blogger him/herself. I find myself coming back to your blog because you have some great insight and you have been at this a long time, which is very impressive and tells me your know your stuff. Keep sparking thoughts in others!

There is a lot of information available on how to make money online. Before you get sucked into a good sales page, stop and use common sense. Does it sound too good to be true? If it does, it probably is. There may be a few bits and pieces of good information in the product, but remember that it will take plenty of time and effort to create a successful business, whether it’s online or not.
