We are from Manila, Philippines. My husband and I are planning to take a guided tour to Russia and Scandinavia next year using the services of Trafalgar. The tour starts in Copenhagen and ends in Berlin. Before we go to Copenhagen, we want to visit Paris and then go to the Lourdes Grotto in France. From what I learned, Lourdes is about 6 hours by train from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. If we use the Eurail, how long will it take? Should we instead take a plane from Paris to Copenhagen? If so, what budget airline can we use?

Will it be nearer if we visit Paris and Lourdes if we are coming from Berlin? What plane goes directly to Lourdes? Will the Eurail take us from Berlin to the Lourdes Grotto?

I am joining a bazar for the first time. Can you suggest the saleable items that I must offer?

My brother is giving me his PAL mileage enough to visit HongKong. I have been to HongKong three times. I've been to their night markets, Disneyland, Ocean Park, Bronze Buddha in Lantau, Victoria Peak, etc.

I have very little capital and cannot advertise much on the leading newspapers. Other than giving out flyers in church and groceries, what else can I do to have more clients? I've tried giving out highly discounted rates (to the point of almost no mark up at all) as come ons.

My husband and I are visiting Shanghai and wants to celebrate New Year's eve in Beijing. I am taking the train to save on transportation expense and experience how it is to ride in it. Can you give me suggestions on how I can explore Shanghai and Beijing on a limited budget? What kind of clothes should we bring considering that it's winter in China? I am coming from a tropical country like the Philippines.
