<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/BagHagCeru3.jpg" class="top"> It's been a trying weekend for Japan, and the situation still remains dire with entire towns wiped out and massive rescue efforts under way. In Tokyo, life is attempting to return to normal, but limited public transportation schedules and the threat of electricity blackouts has stunted business. True to Japan's culture, however, the hotels of the city seem to be handling the crisis as gracefully as possible. Last night, while routinely reading Twitter, we noticed that <a href="Http://www.twitter.com/thebaghag">@thebaghag</a> was relating her friend's story of being a tourist in Tokyo during the earthquake.

Christmas shopping on the Continent is looking pretty promising this year. The latest lot to offer special winter deals are the folk at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Concorde%20Hotels">Concorde Hotels</a>. But is it worth it? The Winter Offer which starts 1 November and ends March 31 promises bed, breakfast and a surprise gift if you stay two nights or more. And the rates sound pretty good Prague from 80 ($118/£72), Berlin from 136 and Paris from 148.

Especially Paris its notoriously expensive at the best of times, but right now, a trip there means youre pretty much guaranteed a wallet-mauling.
