John, hotel rooms at the show in a 50 story hotel cost ~100 night single, $140 night double. The show is in a giant mall complex, with planetarium, aquarium, 100s of shops, restaurants etc. Bus from airport to front door of the hotel about 2 hours, $30.00. Very convienient, since subways are full of millions and I do mean millions of people. Very fun. You should go. Food on the street in small shops, sushi bars, cafes costs $~8-10. Real restaurants are ~8$0 $100 per meal. No shortage of American/Western food about every 10 feet. It really is a lot of fun, but not much meteorite-wise at the show. Mike
