or staying with families/homes.... the train stations shld have a list of the certified/approved ones...so you'd get first-hand cultural experience....

Or this flat share program, sounds interesting but I don't want to participate.... Bed & breakfast is okay for me.

more like Bed and Lunch.....what do you mean flat share? with only tourists to share the whole place? that's a bit scary cos you might end up with a psycho.....or they might end up with YOU, dr H.....

You register at one of those agencies and offer your apartment. While you're on vacation someone uses your apartment as holiday flat and at the same time you their flat....useless if you live in cold and dark places where nobody wants to make holidays such as casey's town

oh I get it out..a flat exchange program....but still, you might end up with a psycho ....my town might be cold and dark most months of the year but at least I'm not a psycho ...(most of the time....

but the homes are empty then, and you're registered as the opposite...I won't do it too, but it's a nice idea if you like such stuff...
It's the same as with "agencies for arranged lifts". The drivers offer places in their cars if they travel somewhere and have some free places for passengers. The drivers are registered and their identity is know to the agency, therefore quite safe (and much more as hitch-hiking)

I've heard/read about this too....there's always a risk (esp the "international exchange") but I think, more often than not, everything goes well and your place doesn't end up trashed or your stuff missing....the car pool system I think is easier to regulate....

loads of good suggestion but I am still lost. Hob, me not going for a vacationよ。I have no choice but go on that time. But, I might extend it a few days and stay around for a few days loner. There is where all the other places fit in. First I thought of UK but am saving that for later. I wish to go to the Abbey road some day. For now, it will be fly to venice then attend the meeting, take a train to vienna/zurich - stay there for a day and come back to Venice and fly back. I think it will be expensive taking flight to Venice and then fly back from Vienna/zurich - but keeping that an option. Geb'z is lost and where is Lost today morning? I need to go now and get the reentry permit.

hey jiajia and BB.....yup, Lost is lost somewhere in the beer gardens.....BB, couldn't you do both...go first to Vienna and then to Zurich, a side trip to Geneva then back to Venice via Milan? Or go straight to Zurich then to Paris and fly back to Italy or from Vienna to Munich then Zurich and back to Venice....infinite possibilities ...and it all boils down to money and time....more on the budget tho bec I suppose your time is quite flexible....goodluck deciding.....
