So after all these years of talk, I'm finally going to Asia! The decision was made last week when my boss finally approved my 5 week sabbatical/vacation. I've booked my flights, gotten my shots, Lonely Planet books and visas and bought way too much travel stuff (flares and GPS locator not included) like a true rookie.
Leaving at the end of the month
- 2 weeks in Vietnam traveling from Saigon to Hanoi
- 2 nights in HK
- 2 weeks in China from Beijing to Shanghai
- 1 week in Bangkok
I'm meeting some old friends of mine in various cities but I'm doing the first and last portions of my trips myself. If anyone has any friends in Saigon or Bangkok who I could contact in case I get tired of talking to myself, please email me.
Also, if anyone knows where I can find a decently priced hotel in HK, I'll be indebted to you forever.
