Is 6 months enough time for this? Or am I rushing it and trying to cover too much ground? I dont want to rush it! Money Not including flights in and out, how much should I budget for the whole trip? Im pretty young and rather "thrifty" (love that word!) so I certainly don't mind doing it a bit rough. Whats an average cost per day for these places? This is a pretty important qn for me, this whole thing depends on whether I have enough money or not. Im hoping to study Chinese in China for the first 6 months, and then do that journey for the latter 6 months. Im wanna go out with with a bang before joining the races... Any help on these matters would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I havent been to China for years so cant comment and have never been to the others on you list.
