True to my 'handle' and avitar, I've booked a Med. cruise. The itinerary includes: Italy, Greece, Turkey, Rhoads, Cyprus and Egypt. Post-cruise, I'll spend a couple of days in Rome before returning to K-land to start the new school year. Cant wait!

P.S. Yes, I'm trying to 'rub it in'.

cruisemonkey on a cruise,... surprise surprise

I'll be jealous of those who go on cruises when I'm, say, in my sixties. It's right up there among things to do when I retire alongside taking the trans-Siberian railroad.

There ARE trips to take now before one is too old to appreciate the rigors of them: like travelling India without being part of a tour. Or scuba diving the Maldives.

Note that this thread is not on the travel forum: because a cruise is not really travelling, though walking around the port towns for a couple of hours approximates it.

To a beach with palm trees and plenty of booze.

VanIslander, I have 3 options left:

1) Ottawa, Canada from Jan 26 to Feb 8. As December 1 in Ottawa is -17C I know the question is...where's your head at?

2) Phuket. Apart from the natural disaster-beaches, warm weather and sand.

3) Auckland.


I hate to say it because I am a sentimental jerkass-I think Number 1 wins

Hmmm... in May, when I finished my last contrast, I took 4 months off, & went to China, Mongolia, Russia, & Australia, with a brief sojourn in Japan to renew my visa. I spent 2 weeks in Thailand in January 07, & 2 weeks in Japan, & Busan > Sokcho in August 2006.

My longterm plans, are for a visit to the Canadian Rockies, & Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Zion, The Arches, Bryce Canyon & Yosemite, in October/ November next year.

I don't feel deprived of travel at all.

My school has planned a trip to Japan for 4 days 5nights (huh?) For 400k won, I might tag along. Depends on my camp schedule.
More than likely, I will head to the Philippines. I have some unfinished business I need to attend to. If not, then I'll head to Japan via ferry and get some things done. If not Japan, probably Vladivostok. There's something/someone I need to do there.
Less likely, I'll head home. Unless there's some pressing business, I'm not liking the ticket prices right now.
Even less likely, I'll head deep south to Thailand or Cambodia. From what I've heard, if a man travels alone there, they get added to the pedo watch list. So, unless I'm traveling with a group, I don't wanna end up in some mix up list or wind up mistakenly on some "To Catch a Predator" show.
Me: Hey, you're that guy! Chris Hansen!
Chris Hansen: So you're heard of me?
Me: Yeah of course. I used to watch your show!
Chris Hansen: Then you know why you're here in Thailand.
Me: I came to see the sights and the ladies!
Chris Hansen: That's not what we have here.
Me: I'm going to the club. Wait...what?
Chris Hansen: We have these instant messages you sent-
Me: What instant messages?
Chris Hansen: You sent these messages to our spy-
Me: What spy? I ain't send nothin'!
Chris Hansen: Our spy in the AOL chatrooms-
Me: I don't use AOL chatrooms!
Chris Hansen: You were in there under the name Kung Fu Man-
Me: I don't use that name! What the hell?!
Chris Hansen: they're of an explicit nature-
Me: What?!
Chris Hansen: you said you'd blank her blank till the blank was blanky blank-
Me: I ain't said that *beep*!
Chris Hansen: you also said you'd toss her in the air
Me: No man!
Chris Hansen: and blank her around like you just don't care
Me: Man come on! That ain't me!
Chris Hansen: and then you said you do her on the roof-
Me: Oh come on!
Chris Hansen: and rain down on her with your golden shower.
Me: Aight', that ain't me. I'm out this *beep* this some bull*bleep* up in here!
Chris Hansen: But wait, there's more!
FBI: Freeze! Scumbag! Get on the ground now!
Me: what the hell?! Don't taze me bro!
*Tazered to death*
2 days later
Larry King: Tonight on Larry King Live, we interview the friends of Agent X, the man who was mistakenly tazered to death on "To Catch a Predator" in Thailand. What can you say about the loss of your friend?
My single friends: Well, we miss him a lot. He was an adventurer. We always knew he'd go out in some weird way. Look Mr. King, his death hurt us a lot. We don't think we can get thru the night without a woman by our side.
Women everywhere: awwwww
Me (watching in Hell's lobby): Oh come on! Those a-holes! That should be MY booty damn it!

Paris or LA, I haven't decided yet.

crusher_of_heads: if you haven't been yet, choose Thailand!

Home to Canada for a month, it's been over a year and a half. Lots of skiing in Fernie/Banff awaits as well as the obligatory shopping trip. I might also go to Tokyo for a Sufjan Stevens concert.

Vietnam in late February; I really want to visit the battle site at Dien Bien Phu. Would also like to get somewhere in late January so, maybe China.

This will shock many people here, but despite being here a year and a half, I still enjoy travelling within Korea. Okay, okay.....financially I don't have much choice this vacation either.

However, I'm almost wetting myself at the prospect of finally doing the full Jirisan hike. In the snow too, it should be fantastic. I'll think of you bstrds on Thai beaches when I'm shivering in a little hut. I really can't wait!

My friends and I want to go somewhere thats not too expensive to fly to since we only have a 5 or 6 day holiday (including the weekend). I've already been to Beijing so I was thinking either Shanghai or Hong Kong. Does anyone have any opinions on which one would be better. Is there enough to see in either of these places to stay 5 or 6 days?
