Yeah I know Japan is expensive lots of people have said so... Although I speak Japanese fluently so I at least want to see Japan, Only seeing Japan for 14-21 days at most is my plan then into China and all that... And I planned on working some in Australia yes, I'm only 21 not close to rich to afford it easily lol... As for facebook I do not have one of those...

my Email is Toxicai@hotmail.com
same for MSN messenger...

That is about it for how to contact me...

Heh, as for the ammount Ihave planned out Isn't as planned as I suppose I make it seem, I have Japan planned due to the Expense... I am working with a bit of a budget for me and I know how much Japan costs to stay there, thus is why I had that planned more for japan with days and all...

I leave here on June 23rd for Tokyo then I planned to stay roughly to July 7-10th:ish before going to China

but as for now the plan was from Tokyo - China spending really however long I like in China, but not too excited to stay there for over a month really, then to Seoul South Korea, spending time there however I want, down to Laos / vietnam going to Bangkok / Phucket Thailand before going to Manila Phillipines then down to Australia where I planned to work and help restore some funds and all that, then to New Zealand (maybe) not positive if I was stopping there...

If I do from NZ to India or Australia to India spending time there i was guessing like a month or more then to Nepals, then fly from Khatmandu to Frankfurt and tour Europe...

Time scale really doesn't matter... I didn't really plan how long it will take, I will work my way around theworld if I must... but that is my general Idea with more places after Europe but as for Asia that is my trip...

Estimates on the time it will take are about 14-16months was my guess, but really the longer the better for me in this trip, plan on taking my time in each area (apart from Japan due to costs) and thats about my plan if you want to know more just ask...

Hi Chris.

My friend Kate and I are going to Thailand June 10th 2009 and will be flying out of Singapore a month later. So we will be working our way overland for the month.

However we do plan on staying on a few islands for a week and just lazing around then carrying on exploring after.

If your in Thailand, Malaysia or Singapore in June and beginning of July drop us an email: kate_becky_travels@hotmail.com

PS. From Singapore we are flying to OZ and will be travelling and working there for 4 months

Experience is everything

Hi

This is Carrine here from Singapore. Am 27F and will be heading to Thailand come 13 July 09.

Presently am looking at covering Koh Samui, maybe the half-moon party.. then head back to Bangkok for Vientiane via rail. Will have about 1.5 week to spend, not much I reckon but it will be nice to meet some people who'll be in the region.

If anyone is interested in linking up, msn me at theycallme175@hotmail.com :

Cheers!

If you can't beat them, join them; if you can't convince them, confuse them.
