[quote=APAULT                  ,35229]Yes you can book from some hostels, tho my experience is that they simply have an arrangement with a travel agent.  So maybe it is better to go to travel agents so that you can shop around.  Outside the major half dozen cities you should try to get some local help.  Unless you plan to go at peak times to places where there are major conferences I wouldn't be worrying too much about hotels, there are plenty of them.  Why not see if TCG can arrange something flexible for you?  If they have a rough idea in advance then you call up when you are ready for the next step... that way you are dealing with just one agent and it has English speakers :)  In my experience organising travel and visiting sights is very time consuming.  This is a waste of your very limited time...unless it is this type of experience that you are looking for.  Have you checked out all the info in TCG?  You can get some idea of accommodation and prices, and train schedules and prices.... the latter is a bit hidden.... select 'search' to the right of the main tabs, then you find the train schedules are on the left of the next window.  But booking trains 'on the fly' can be difficult as they are often booked out in advance.[/quote]
