Tips:

* Never pay for rooms by the day. ALWAYS negotiate a weekly or monthly term.

* Always find out up front if they will charge you for water, power or internet.

* Pack light. You will not miss anything you leave behind.

* Don't forget to pack a little photo book of your family and friends. This will be the ONLY thing you will miss.

* If you don't have it already, get SKYPE and pay for US number. Assuming you are from the USA, then your friends and family, assuming you have any, can call you free.

* Carry more than one ATM card and be aware of when they expire. Chances are your bank WON'T send a new card abroad.

Congrats!
