Hey Mari,
The reason you can't leave urls is to stop people spamming, but we're looking at getting this changed. But how do you think it's looking like a dating site?!

Hi!

I’m Sonia, an Italian girl from Milan. I’m writing my graduation thesis on the backpacker tourism and I’m very interested to know your opinion about this way of travel!

I’ll be very happy if you can reply to some questions..It’s not important if your answers will be short or if you will reply only to one of them, I’m interested in your opinion!!

For example:

• -What do you like of travel like a backpacker/independent traveller?
• -Do you like to stay in the youth hostels? Would you have any more services?
• -What type of transport do you use during your travels?
• -Travel like a backpacker tourist is for you advantageous only on the economic side or are you interested in knowing other traveller and local people?
• -Which travel have you done as a backpacker tourist?
• -How old are you? Where do you live? What’s your name?

If you want to contact me:
My e-mail: soniadipi@alice.it

Salut Mari!
I let some tips about my summer trip in Stockholm on my homepage. I wrote a blog too (in french). For you a little translation of my "best places to..." :
A place to sleep : Zinkensdamm Hostel (have a look at it in HostelWorld).
A place to go out : Debaser in Slussen.
A place to eat : Östermalmhalle (old indoor market).
A place to "chill out" : Kastellholmen or Hagaparken near the roman tents.
A museum to visit : Vasamusset.
A place to have a walk : between Stureplan and Kungsträdgarden by Norrmalmstorg.

I hope it will be usefull!
See U!

Ola Ciquita!
I just came back home yesterday!
My days in tokyo have been great! I always had a lot of things to do, never even one minute to waste! The last day, it eas sunday there was a kind of festyval in Ikebukuro (My ryokan was there) with lots of flags and people dancing in the streets. It was a kind of "fireworks show" to say goodbye to me :-) I was lucky. In the evening I was invited by some friends of my family celebrating theyr 30th anniversary in a very smart restaurant. My trip to japan have been a mix of everything with a lot of friends. now that I'm again in Roma i feel stranger in my contry somehow.. I Hope I'll be able to come back to Japan. I wosh you a nice trip to spain. Enjoy Barcelona! It's a nice town full of life! I hope you will come to Italy soon, if you will do please let me know, and I will be your guide in Roma! (and photo assistant if you want :-)
Un bacio! Jacopo.

Hi
I enjoyed Tokyo but my stay was to short only 3,5 days.
There are so many things to see and I think I only saw 15% of the city.
So I´m looking forward to come to Japan next year again, if I get 3 weeks of again from my job. So maybe we can meet there.
About Vienna I have to life here because of my job but I don´t like Vienna, it´s not hatred anymore but I guess I will never get warm with that city.

So stay in contact
Jean
