Have travelled some of Thailand, Cambodia and Laos, am currently teaching in China and I have an onward ticket to Australia. My question is before I go to Australia shold I explore more of SE Asia first or go straight to Australia.
Ok so for two months I travelled around Thailand (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Patong, Phi Phi, Koh Phangan), Cambodia (Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville) and Laos (Vang Vieng, Vientianne) and now Im am living and teaching in Tangshan, China (2 1/2hrs outside Beijing). I have a six month contract here during which time I am getting to explore some chinese cities surronding me. My issue is when my contract finishes at the end of March where should I go??
My year working holiday visa for Australia expires on June 12th so I have to be there by then at the latest. But I really cant figure out should I just go straight over to Oz when Im finished or have I missed out on too much of SE Asia like Vietnam, Malaysia, Bali, Singapore etc. and should I go see these before i head on. Flying out of Bangkok so I will have to come back down here anyways.
If I go back and travel more of SE Asia it means by the time I reach Australia ill need to start working right away as I'll definitely have no money left. But if I went to Australia I could at least enjoy my first month or two there without working?? Decisions, decisions.... feel free to give your opinons/advice.
Reason Im thinking about this so far in advance as my Australian flight was only booked with a provisional date in mind and I'll need to confirm the exact date in about a month or so
Also had a slight idea about nepal and tibet before I left China but seems this will be very expensive, anyone previously travelled here??
