Located on the western coast of Tokyo Bay directly south of Tokyo, Yokohama Practice Page (横浜) is the second largest city in Japan and one of the cities most used to seeing foreigners.

Understand
Yokohama was the first port opened up to foreign trade after the opening of Japan in 1854. At the forefront of the Meiji restoration, the first train line in Japan connected Tokyo and Yokohama. However, Yokohama was devastated by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and again by the firebombings of World War II, and never really regained its prominence. It remains a maritime city to this day and retains an international flavor.

 * City of Yokohama

 * Naka Ward Office provides webpage and free tourist maps in English.

Get in
Yokohama is located only half an hour away from Tokyo, and effectively forms a part of the giant conurbation.

By plane
Yokohama does not have its own airport. You can reach Yokohama from Tokyo's two main airports.

Some Narita Express trains from Narita Airport go through to Yokohama (1 1/2 hours, ¥4380). Limousine Buses run frequently from Narita to the Yokohama City Air Terminal (YCAT) (1 1/2 ~3 hours, ¥3500). The cheapest access from Narita Airport is to take a Keisei train to Nippori, then change to a JR Keihin-Tohoku Line train for Yokohama (about 2 hr. and ¥1540).

The Keihin Kyuko line (Keikyu line) is the best route from Haneda Airport to Yokohama (25 minutes direct, 30 minutes with connection, ¥470).

By train
The overwhelming majority of visitors to Yokohama arrive from Tokyo by train. A multitude of train lines connect the two cities at roughly equal prices (around ¥200 one-way), but some of the more convenient options are:

 * Tokyu Toyoko Line (東急東横線) from Shibuya to Yokohama Station. Some trains on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line run through to the Toyoko Line, which in turn runs through to the recently-opened Minato Mirai 21 subway line (see below).  A trip from Shibuya to Yokohama takes as little as 24 minutes on the fastest service; Chinatown, the terminus of the MM21 line, is another 10 minutes away. Up to eight kyūkō (急行) and tokkyū (特急) trains per hour. In the year 2012, the Toyoko Line will link to the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line subway, allowing trains to continue north to Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and into Saitama.

 * JR Shonan Shinjuku Line (湘南新宿ライン) from Ōmiya, Akabane, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ebisu and Ōsaki. Established in 2003, this line allows for easy access to Yokohama from west Tokyo. Roughly four trains per hour, reaching Yokohama from Shinjuku in as little as 30 minutes. This line will have no major competition until the Toyoko/Fukutoshin services join together in 2012.

 * JR Tokaido Main Line (東海道線) from Tokyo and Shinagawa stations (both on the Yamanote Line). Departs every 10 minutes; more trains during rush hour. About 25 minutes from Tokyo to Yokohama. Note that Commuter Rapid Service (通勤快速) and Shonan Liner (湘南ライナー) trains do not  stop at Yokohama Station.

 * JR Yokosuka Line (横須賀線): A less-convenient alternative from Tokyo Station and Shinagawa. However, it is the route of choice if coming from stations east of Tokyo on the Sobu Rapid line, such as Tsudanuma and Chiba, as most of these trains continue onto the Yokosuka line. About 30 minutes from Tokyo to Yokohama; about 75 minutes from Chiba. Departs every 15 minutes or so from Tokyo; more trains during rush hour.

 * JR Keihin Tohoku Line (京浜東北線) from Nippori, Ueno, Akihabara, Tokyo, and Shinagawa Stations. This train stops at more stations in Yokohama than the Yokosuka Line, including Sakuragicho (桜木町), which is within walking distance of Chinatown. It is also a convenient route from stations north of Tokyo in Saitama prefecture. About 35 minutes from Tokyo Station to Yokohama Station. Departs every 5 minutes from Tokyo; more trains during rush hour.

 * JR Yokohama Line (横浜線) from Sakuragicho to Hachioji(Tokyo). This line has Shin-Yokohama station. At here, you can transfer to Shinkansen. If you are unlucky, you have to change to Keihin Tohoku Line at Higashikanagawa station.

 * Keihin Kyuko Main Line (京浜急行線), or Keikyu for short, from Shinagawa and Haneda Airport. Most trains from the Toei Asakusa subway line continue onto the Keikyu line. Departs every 10 minutes from Shinagawa (more trains during rush hour), with the fastest train reaching Yokohama in only 18 minutes. Note that Keikyu WING (京急ウィング) trains, which run on weekday evenings, do not stop at Yokohama.

If you often use Odakyu Line and want to Yokohama, Sotetsu Line is very useful.
 * Sotetsu Line (相鉄線）from Ebina to Yokohama

Shinkansen trains go to Shin-Yokohama station instead, a few subway stops away from the main Yokohama station. Alternatively, take the shinkansen to Shinagawa and change to the Tokaido, Yokosuka or Keihin Tohoku lines. If your final destination is Chinatown or a the harbor area, taking one of the non-Shinkansen trains listed above is likely to be faster.

Minato-Mirai Line
The Minato Mirai Line (みなとみらい線) (Japanese link), opened in 2004, is a direct extension of the Tokyu Toyoko Line. Connection with the lines is at Yokohama Station, and the line itself has five stations: Shin-Takashimacho (新高島町), Minatomirai (みなとみらい), Bashamichi (馬車道), Nihon Ōdori (日本大通り), and Motomachi-Chūkagai (元町・中華街), terminating at the posh Motomachi shopping street and the second largest Chinatown in the world. The line’s stations itself are worth seeing, especially Minato-Mirai Station itself, where you are able to see straight up to the very spacious entrance hall (7 floors in all) of the Yokohama Landmark Tower, the tallest building in Japan.

Bashamichi station is with artifact bricks and hosts the remains of the first western style bank of Yokohama. Note also that Bashamichi (literal translation: horse carriage street) was the first street in Japan to have gas fired street lightings, which were re-installed lately. Bashamichi Station is surrounded by historical buildings, built only a century ago, but for Japanese standards are a true catapulting into westernization. Thus all buildings remaining (partially rebuilt after the heavy bombings of WWII) are protected as “historical – cultural national treasure.”

Nihon-Ōdori Station is similar to Bashamichi Station. Nihon-Ōdori (meaning Japan Avenue) is a two lane-two way avenue, which back then separated the living quarters of the foreign delegation and Japanese. The line runs parallel to the Keihin-Tohoku Line, but due to its massive expenses in keeping the designer-class stations running, the fares are rather pricey but definitely worthwhile. The line runs through the very historical parts of Yokohama, when Japan opened up towards the Western civilization. Many history-related museums of Yokohama are dotted along the line, and to attract further tourists, the line offers a one-day unlimited ride ticket (¥450 for adults, 1/2 price for children).

Get around

Yokohama is not a very automobile-friendly place, especially for foreigners. Public transit and walking work best.

By train
The Minato Mirai 21 subway line from Yokohama station down the harborfront to Chinatown is the best method of accessing the main tourist haunts. The main subway line is useful primarily for transfers between central Yokohama and the Shinkansen station. JR Negishi Line (根岸線) is also available for Chinatown and Minato Mirai Area. All Negishi Line Trains with the blue line are direct service via the Keihin-Tohoku Line. For suburban areas, Yokohama has a subway and extensive commuter rail lines that crisscross the city from every direction and to all neighboring cities.

By Bus
Akkaikutsu bus Sight seeing bus around Minatomirai, Chinatown and Motomachi. It runs every 20-30 minutes. It looks an old bus colored with red. Ticket for ¥100. You can buy 1 day pass for ¥300

By boat
A "sea bus" operates between JR Yokohama station (east exit), Minato Mirai and Yamashita Park, and is one of the nicest ways to get around on a sunny day. The fare is ¥340-700 depending on the distance.

On foot
Central Yokohama is comparatively compact and the Chinatown/Yamashita Park area is best explored on foot.

See

 * Chinatown (中華街 Chūkagai), MM21 Motomachi-Chukagai station, . Yokohama's Chinatown is the largest in Japan and dates back to the Opening of Japan in 1859. These days it's unabashedly touristy, but there are plenty of Chinese grocery stores and places to buy a cheap cheongsam dress or jade knick-knacks.

 * Bay Stars Stadium. Located in Naka ward. A short walk from Chinatown or Kannai station, this is probably one of the most fun places to watch a baseball game in Japan. Known as the Bay Stars Stadium, the Yokohama Baseball Team of the Central League, the Stadium itself was built on the remains of the Cricket Ballpark of the last century for the British delegation. The Bay Stars Stadium is an open roof stadium with natural grass, very rare in Japan, which prefers to man-made grass to save on costs, and the entertainment boasted throughout the games is trying hard, and doing a good job, by Japanese terms, in trying to have each game hosted at the "home ground" to be as American as possible.

 * Nissan Stadium located in Shin-Yokohama(新横浜). This is one of the biggest soccer stadium in Japan. 2002 FIFA WORLD CUP, The final match was held in here. This is a home ground of J league soccer teams, Yokohama F.Marinos and Yokohama FC.

 * Sky Walk. An observation platform attached to the Bay Bridge. To get there, take a bus in front of JR Sakuragicho station. If you cannot find the correct bus, ask for help from the Tourist information center located right in front of the station. However, the bus trip takes quite a while and there is nothing more to see than the view of Minato Mirai from afar.

 * Landmark Tower, MM21 Minato Mirai station. The tallest building in Japan is located in the new Minato Mirai 21 district. The observation platform on the top 69th floor provides good views (admission ¥1,000). The elevators are said to be the fastest in Japan.

The foreigner cemetery is also along this route and houses a small museum with some pictures of the Motomachi shopping street in the old days and some more cartoons how the Japanese saw foreigners.

Mid-range

 * For Chinese food the obvious choice is Chinatown (中華街 Chūkagai), which has over 200 Chinese restaurants. Snacks are sold on the streets, but most restaurants in the area are quite expensive (expect to pay ¥1,500 for a decent lunch) and the food has been toned down to suit the Japanese palate. One of the most popular foods in Chinatown is Nikuman (肉まん nikuman), or bread filled with pork and vegetables, which are sold by dozens of stores and vendors.  Chinatown is the terminus of the Minato Mirai 21 line.

 * Shinyokohama Raamen Museum (新横浜ラーメン博物館 Shin-Yokohama rāmen hakubutsukan). Shin-Yokohama 2-14-21, . Paradise for noodle lovers, but not just because of the (Japanese-only) exhibits of the history of instant ramen noodles: the centerpiece here is the basement, which contains a recreation of 1950s-era Tokyo done in incredible detail, complete with operating branches of 10 famous ramen joints.  Expect to queue and pay at least ¥1000 for a bowl, but if you really love your noodles, it's worth it.  5 minute walk from Shin-Yokohama station (on the #1 subway line).

The bartenders know over 200 cocktails and the “financial damage” per drink hovers around Yen1,000. Basic food, pasta, pizza and snacks are also available. Unique about the bar is its size, which can be classed as rather large in the area of Bashamichi, Kannai, where small, tiny sized bars are common. There is no live band, but the music jamming out of the speaker systems throughout the bar is Jazz and the bar itself is very quiet and emphasis is placed on enjoying your drink.

A rather quiet corner of Yokohama, it is well connected with bustling Yokohama by the Yokohama Line (横浜線), or the municipal subway (市営地下鉄) and various municipal city buses (市営バス). Only ten minutes away it is an ideal place to stay with mediocre quality whilst saving money. The Prince Hotel is one of the largest chains of hotels in Japan, run by the behemoth company Seibu. Foreigners registering with the homepage member area enjoy additional reductions, but only if you register and apply PRIOR to arriving in the country.

User talk:(WT-en) Northtours

Hello Northtours! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Project:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. Given your user name "Northtours", and its similarity to North Tours LLC in Dubai, is it a fair guess that you are connected with that group? In that case, I also encourage you to read Project:Welcome, business owners. A tricky line to follow here is how to give information about tours etc. that is factual and useful to travellers, without turning it into unwanted advertising. Project:Don't tout has some good guidance on this balance. (WT-en) JimDeLaHunt 03:03, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

North Tours LLC listings
I see you've added links to the North Tours LLC tours in Dubai. I'd love to see good listings for desert safaris or Dubai tours or whatever, but what you just added isn't quite it. For a start, you put your edits right in the middle of another listing. I've backed out your changes and I encourage you to try again. Make each listing about one activity, use the Project:Activity listings tag "  ", include factual info like addresses, phone numbers, and prices, and leave out the excessive sales language. (WT-en) JimDeLaHunt 03:03, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

I see you added an article named "Dubai Desert Tours". Wikivoyage doesn't have articles for individual attractions, we have articles for destinations. See Project:What is an article?. I've deleted this page. If you want to list the desert tour, please make it an Project:Activity listings in Dubai. (WT-en) JimDeLaHunt 03:03, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

I see you added two images, Image:Safari1.jpg and Image:Safari3.jpg. I want to double-check that this is what you intended. Everything posted here, text or image, is licensed freely so that others can reuse it. That means anyone. See Copyleft. Are you comfortable with a competitor using these images to illustrate a listing for their desert safari? If so, great. Please read Copyleft for instructions on how to upload these to the correct location. If you didn't intend to license these images so that even your competitors can use them, then see Project:How to delete a page for instructions on how to delete them. (WT-en) JimDeLaHunt 03:03, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

If you have questions, feel free to post them here. I'm monitoring here, and I will probably answer you soon. Or, ask in the Project:Travellers' pub. Again, welcome to Wikivoyage. I hope you can help us improve our coverage of Dubai and elsewhere. (WT-en) JimDeLaHunt 03:03, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

That's an excellent user name, by the way. Indiana's pretty busy today -- thanks for your help there! --(WT-en) Evan 19:21, 18 April 2006 (EDT)

Thanks, nice site you got going here. I'm spending most of my time over at wikocracy these days, but I will continue to update stuff here too. 208.23.140.34 13:39, 6 May 2006 (EDT)

Indiana
I agree with you it is sort of shoddy. It's hard defining the areas, and I researched into any serious "offical" titles for the regions and there wasn't one. I'm pretty open minded with defining the areas. The easier and less the better. I'm expanding the region pages, and I figure if we can come up with a good idea for each 'section' then we can just cut and paste the information (get in/out/stay/see/buy/do etc) to that areas page(s).

I also wanted to mention that the Indiana page is fairly overwhelming compared to the Indianapolis and other city pages. So any help with improving it would be great. (WT-en) Missvain 22:55, 21 December 2006 (EST)

I am not sure that creating a List of Amusement & Theme Parks as a see also link off Disney World is the best way to have started the article. It would be better to kick it off from Travel topics. Simarly starting off Cedar Point Amusement Park as a link called Cedar Point off the Great Lakes article is a bit deceptive too. Amusement parks are attractions and should generally be listed under their respective city pages, which should be created first. I would recommend you read up on articles and their naming conventions before going too much further. -- (WT-en) Huttite 03:30, 24 Dec 2005 (EST)

Amusement and theme parks
I think calling your article about Amusement and theme parks List of Amusement & Theme Parks is very limiting, so I am going to move it and drop the List of bit. That way we can write an article about travelling to and exploring these places. I am extremely tempted to call the article simply Amusement as that will allow me to include a whole lot of amusements that are not in theme parks. - (WT-en) Huttite 03:30, 24 Dec 2005 (EST)

User block 2009-01-09
I'm surprised to hear that there wasn't anything in EE's contributions log to make the reasoning for the block identifiable. If you check the block log, you'll note than he's been temporarily blocked several times for edit warring (I think the first was 12/7/08), so he's on a short leash. You'll find the offending edit here. He insulted Peter, and re-inserted the insult after it was removed. Then he was given a one-day block. I could have kept reverting him, but he knows the rules, and chooses to ignore them.

There are certainly many ways to deal with a given situation — mine was by no means the only valid one — but I don't want you to think there was no reason behind it. And I definitely appreciate any help you provide in working with him. (WT-en) Gorilla Jones 19:16, 9 January 2009 (EST)

Right, it was proposed (with no objections raised) ages ago to Merge many of the Manchester districts, but so far not much has happened. So I'm going to plunge forward and make a start on this; keeping in line with what was proposed on the Manchester Talk pages.

re: Citybase Apartments
Hi Nrms,

First of all - apologies if we have broken your guidelines - we weren't aware that we were breaking any rules. We noticed that a few of our competitors (i.e. silverdoor.co.uk) have done a similar thing so we thought this was allowed. We have apartments all over the UK (many of which we own or own the lease to rather than are just agents for), so how would we best submit ourselves to Wikivoyage?

—The preceding comment was added by 84.92.213.133 (talk • contribs).

 * Hi, and thanks for taking the time to respond. Just done a search for silverdoor, but not finding any results. The usual system seems to be to put an ad where you are based, which I realise may not be the most useful thing for your particular business. Another way is to register on the site and then you can use your User page to put up information about your business. The welcome for business owners page I linked you to does mention And it's quite alright to put information about yourself and your business on your User page (if you don't turn it into a marketing brochure). so that gives you an outlet. If you want a better explanation, I would have a chat with someone like (WT-en) Peter who knows the policies and rationale behind them a lot better than me. (WT-en) Nrms 09:02, 11 May 2009 (EDT)

 * Thanks Jan. I know comments were made about waiting a couple of months first since I have had the rather lengthy period away from the project. Joys of where I work and the associated bureaucracies! Hoping thngs will settle down now, but there is still the potential for things to go pear-shaped again at the end of the month, so may be best if we hold off until beginning of April just in case I find myself looking at another length hiatus.

Mr. NRMS, I have removed most of the content and informed well, why some information must remain on the main page. This site is for all, not whims and fancies of few. Its unfair that a person like you, who haven't contributed for Kerala, interested only in deletion. May I accuse is it part of your vested Interests, though I am not.

I don't mind if you edit my article, which you are welcome. But its unfair to delete and keep bare minimum for Kerala, when many other states, particularly Tamil nadu or Karnataka has more information than Kerala. Kindly donot use Wiki as a medium to pour vested interests

Arunvarmaother

 * Please see my comments on your talk page and on the article's talk page. I have been around on Wikipedia for a fair amount of time, along with other people (some of whom are site Admins) who have knowledge of the site policies. We have tried to explain to you why we are having to do this. We are all volunteers, and we don't have the time, or indeed the in-dpeth knowledge, to correct this sort of thing. You obviously have the knowledge of the area and its religious attractions; but we really need you to put the information onto the correct pages. Bearing in mind we hope all contributors will work not just on one or two pages a couple of times then leave, but will start to get involved in other areas of the project including housekeeping; so having knowledge of the policies, etc is a Good Thing(tm). Please, try and understand that we are not trying to get rid of your contributions... We have explained a number of times what we need you to do for your contributions to be welcomed.

 * "Village Pump" -> travellers' pub
 * "be bold" -> plunge forward
 * "sandbox" -> graffiti wall
 * "stub notes" -> Article status notes
 * "External links" -> We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate them into the text.

I hate to spoil all the great work you have been doing but please check out why Wikivoyage unpacks external links.

I edited your recent contributions to New Zealand about YHA and Backpackers to show the full URLs (and had my misinterpretations explained to me too - so I will have to rethink my edits). -- (WT-en) Huttite 09:08, 21 May 2004 (EDT) (Additional comments added after discussion on my talk page: (WT-en) Huttite 19:40, 21 May 2004 (EDT))

Busses
Hi. Thanks for your note on this.

Hum. I just took the Project:List of common misspellings as being correct, along with the fact that 'busses' certainly feels mis-spelled to me.

Having checked, the Oxford English Dictionary (usually definative on english english) says the plural of bus is 'buses US: busses', and Websters (my only US english dictionary) allows either. From personal experience I've never noticed the other spelling in use in the US, but that could just be chance. However I've just visited the web sites of NYCTA in New York, MARTA in Atlanta and MUNI in San Francisco and they all seem pretty sure that they operate buses and not busses. So I'm guessing that busses is not the normal US spelling, even if it is acceptable.

The Project:List of common misspellings contains a discussion on this. It seems like the consensus was that wikivoyage should standardize on buses, although it is a bit confused (with alright).

Given all that, are you happy that I leave the entry in the list of common mispellings, and I don't reverse out my changes?. If not then I think we need to move this discussion to Project:List of common misspellings.

-- (WT-en) Chris j wood 11:02, 23 Jul 2004 (EDT)

Spelling

Spelling in Paris
Hey, sorry to bother you about this, but Arrondissement really is spelled that way. It's French, which is why we put it in italics, although the word is used in English too when discussing districts of Paris.

Also the name of the map really is Paris Pratique par Arrondissement. That's French too, and is also in italics to so indicate.

On the other hand thanks so much for correcting my English spelling errors. ;) -- (WT-en) Mark 04:01, 11 Oct 2004 (EDT)

Rioja versus Rica
Hi there thanks for all your efforts regarding Wikivoyage and spelling.

*La Rioja - Rioja wine and fossilized dinosaur tracks  + *La Rica - Rica wine and fossilized dinosaur tracks

Malay spellings

I'd like to thank you once again for your valiant efforts in copy editing! I think we should start a Wikivoyage Most Valuable Player award for you. -- (WT-en) Mark 16:30, 8 Jun 2005 (EDT)

 * You know, there's this little award called a BarnStar. The tradition, in the wiki world, is to add the image to the user page for people who've made exceptional contributions to the wiki community. In true wiki style, anyone can get one and anyone can give one. Although it's originally from the MeatBall wiki, it's used all over wikidom. There are even different categories of barnstar on Wikipedia (see WikiPedia:Wikipedia:Barnstars on Wikipedia).

 * So, here's one for Nzpcmad: for continuous dedication to improving the quality of all of Wikivoyage's guides, one word at a time, I dedicate to you this barnstar:

Hello Oat5tout!

I notice you have been here a while and thought it was about time you were Welcomed to Wikivoyage. Please take a sec to look at our copyleft and policies and guidelines, but feel free to plunge forward and edit some pages. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you need help, check out Project:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub.

Thank you for contributing to Twin Cities and Albuquerque. Just one tip. If you are linking to another website it is best to use the primary website for whatever you are talking about, instead of Wikipedia. Wikipedia may be a great encyclopedia but not what the traveler expects. Wikipedia links are best used as linking to a companion page. --(WT-en) Huttite 06:02, 10 Feb 2005 (EST)

Mount Rinjani, new listing for Adventure Rinjani
Hi Obe, please do understand that if Adventure Rinjani is reselling packages they may not be listed here. So I need to enquire if are you actually operating treks or just reselling them? This is a requirement determined by both a set wikivoyage policy and in the case of the Rinjani article is especially motivated by a history of listing misadventure and hijacking by some nefarious local operators. This is important to maintaining the integrity and credibility of this article, and anyone listed in it as a trekking provider.

Could you please provide an outline of your operation. Do you own trekking and camping equipment, do you have an on-staff trekking coordinator, which guides or group of guides do you use. Please outline your experience in providing organised treks for tourists visiting the mountain. I hope you will understand the editors of this article are striving to ensure that booking agencies, re-sellers, re-bookers, pre-payment services and assorted opportunists are excluded from the list of providers in the Mount Rinjani article.

Your website looks great and is clearly professionally designed and well thought out. Likewise your outline of trekking ethics and general quality of advice is noted. I apologise for my bluntness, however unless you can clearly outline that you are a direct provider of Mount Rinjani trekking services then your listing will have to be removed from the article. Whilst awaiting your response it has been retained in the article at this time as a gesture of good faith. Thank you for your contribution to the wikivoyage project and thank you also for noticing the inadvertent misspelling of Sembalun and the addition of the cave information to the article. I hope that what ever the outcome of this you do continue to contribute to the article and the development of the Mount Rinjani destination. Also good luck with the new venture, it looks both polished and professional. Thank you. -- (WT-en) felix 23:48, 8 November 2011 (EST)

Welcome, and a reading list
Hello and thanks for adding the information about scuba diving and a couple of beautiful photos to the Brunei guide!

It is reasonable for you to list scuba diving providers, but no specific listings should be in guides at the national level. Instead, you should put any such listing in the guide to whichever locality you operate out of, and you must include a street address in your entry.

It's important for you to read Project:Activity listings in order to understand Wikivoyage's guidelines for correct format and content for diving centre listings.

We will continue to delete any specific listings from the Brunei country guide, but if you put a well-formatted, untouty listing in a guide to the locality you operate out of, everyone is likely to be happy with it and let it stand.

Please feel free to ask any question you like here, or in the Travellers' Pub, signing your post at the end with four tildes (the "~" key) in a row before pressing "Enter."

All the best,

(WT-en) Ikan Kekek 22:05, 20 December 2011 (EST)

 * You're not paying attention to either edit summaries or this page, but to do due diligence, I will warn you that if you continue to repost your entry in the Brunei country guide, it may be necessary to block your account or/and blacklist your site, both of which would be totally unnecessary if you would just follow the proper procedure of putting entries at the most local level possible.

Welcome
Welcome, Oceans5. I took the liberty of cutting and pasting what you put here to your user page. That's the page where you introduce yourself to other users. This is the page where other users communicate with you.

Have a look at pages like Project:Article templates and other pages linked from there. In particular, pages you should know about are Project:Don't tout and Project:Listings.

Don't hesitate to ask questions here or in Project:Travellers' Pub after you've done some reading.
