FINDING ACCOMMODATION ON THE NET
Go onto one of these websites (or use one that is your favourite for this purpose).
www.makupalat.fi
www.interhome.fi
www.ryanair.com
GUIDED SURFING:
Choose www.makupalat.fi . Move that page to the top right hand side corner of the screen. (If problems, ask me to help you). Then you can follow these instructions on the screen at the same time. Then click ‘Matkailu, maat’ under the heading ‘Vapaa-aika’.
Then click ‘matkakohteet: Yleiset matkaoppaat’ (keep rolling downwards quite a bit). Eventually you will find ‘Matkaoppaita.Maailman matkakohteita’ from which you choose ’Lonely Planet’.
On the right, there is ‘travel services’, under which you can find 'hostels and budget lodging' (cheaper) and 'hotels' (more expensive).
Let's choose 'hostels and budget lodging'.
There choose the country (UK) and the town (London), give the arrival date (1 April - All Fools' Day) and the number of nights (3).
Choose a few interesting-looking places and check ‘More info’ for these places.
Check that the type of room you want is free on those days. If it is, BOOK NOW. You will get the price.
AS 'Reply', JANUARY JAZZ REPORTS ON HER FINDINGS. READ ABOUT THAT IN HER REPORT.
On your own search, highlight (mark) the price details (keep the left-hand side switch of the mouse down until you have marked the area you want to copy) and copy it on the desktop. Minimize the page (click '-' in the top right-hand side corner of the screen) and paste the copied price details on our message board where you have started a 'reply' or a 'new thread’ in Booking Accommodation forum: eg. Subject: Accommodation for January Jazz. Message: I found this hotel ....(follow the example sent by January Jazz as 'reply' to this message.
BOOKING: Would you be ready to do the booking on the net? Try to do that and fill in the information asked for - of course, WITHOUT the final confirmation and WITHOUT your credit card details!!. Any questions? If so, ask me for help.
Or would you like to ask them for some more information? Can you find a contact address where to send your enquiry (email or postal address)? See 'EXAMPLES Emails enquiring about accommodation' on this forum. TASK And write a similar email in which you specify your needs.
And, please give us the direct link to the page that gives information of the hostel/hotel (in the same way as January Jazz did).
I hope you have successful surfing!

Ritva
