Lobby Foreign Govts: Address

There are several useful sites that make it easier to contact your

foreign country? Browse through the Address Directory for the
Politicians of the World to find contact info for everyone from the

Find Cheap Lodgings:
The Worldwide Hostel
Guide
We can't all stay at four- and five-star hotels when we're traveling overseas.
If you're a budget traveler, the kind with a backpack and a Eurail Pass,
then The Worldwide Hostel Guide is your key to finding places to stay. Pick
a country from Australia to Zimbabwe and you'll get a list of hostels with
contact information for each, as well as pricing and network affiliations.
There's also information on traveling cheaply by bus, drive-away car, or
thumb, and a bulletin board where you can post your own hosteling experiences.
If you're a traveler who prefers inexpensive adventures to expensive luxury,
this is the place for you.

Warnings and Consular Information Sheets
Whether you're crossing the Canada-US. border or going on an archaeological
expedition to Egypt, make sure to check the U.S. State Department's Travel
Warnings and Consular Information Sheets first. Travel Warnings alert you
to all sorts of physically harmful situations, from volcanic eruptions to
terrorist problems to unstable governments. Consular Information Sheets contain
handy information on transportation regulations, drug and weapons laws, entry
and exit requirements, medical conditions, crime conditions, and just about
anything else you'd need to know before traveling to another country. You
probably know that travel to Iraq is strongly discouraged, but do you know
the rules for use of cellular phones, global positioning systems, and laptop
computers in Russia? Don't go abroad without checking here first.
