Ahh, is that possible? i know its worth it, but whats a better route? are there better / less touristy cities to see? what about Beijing? i would love to see the great wall. i'm willing to hit Laos and Thiland if i have time. what else should i do see. i want adventure, culture, food, trekking ... the whole 9 yards of the pacific that i've come to love but never seen this is completely crazy and i'm loving every second of it. i would have loved to see Tibet. chill with the monks a while. but anyway, please please i much appreciate it : ) Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #2 525 days ago, June 16th 2008 | What about SE Asia. You could choose countries which are close to each other. | The On a Shoestring Guide for South East Asia by Lonely Planet covers Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam and Singapore. It also has suggested itineries. It is available in most bookshops around the world for around 30 Euros. So what about choosing a few countries in this region?

I would suggest to hit all the "Famous" placses in each country if that is the case. for example; Cambodia = Siem Riep to see the Angko Wat. Laos = i would suggest Luang Perbang for the waterfalls. Thailand = Puket and the lovely islands around it. Malaysia = The Twin tower and Cameron highlands. Singapore = Shopping around Orchard road & Do Santosa Island. but if you like to enjoy and explore travelling, i will suggest to choose 2 - 3 countries maximum and see most of the country sides. good luck.
