icedragon Ryan Post Count: 2 Msg: #1 135 weeks ago, May 24th 2007 | I was told by others that when they travel to Asia they can stay at peoples homes (rent a room) for cheep. | I was wondering is there any information on this before I go to Asia this year. I am planning to go to either/or Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand (already visited previous year.)

This will be a great chance for people to experience the local community's way of living. Aside from that, there are also service apartments, bed & breakfast - all these comes in reasonably priced, if not cheap. For Malaysia in general, you can checkout http://tourism.gov.myhttp://tourism.gov.my and for Sabah, surf to http://www.sabahtourism.com . Cheers, Charles.

I have an apartment to be rent monthly. In Apartment Rasuna (maybe u have heard about it if u have visited Jakarta before) which is located in Jl. Rasuna Said, Kuningan, Jakarta. It is in the heart of Jakarta. It's close to go any where and the transportation is very easy. It is a fully furnished apartment with 2 rooms. If u have interest, u may send me message. Thx.
