The end of the year is just around the corner and I’m excited to take a month off and have a little holiday. Thinking of heading off around the end of November to mid December period.
Prospects so far? 1-1.5 week in KL, 1.5-2 weeks in Sabah, and 1 week in Bali/Thailand/Vietnam/Cambodia, depending where my other mates want to go.
I’m hoping that the Australian dollar will spring back up again and make me a rich dude once I go to south-eastern countries.
Although I’m really keen on visiting a few places within the next few years: China, Africa and Alaska. Why China? Well coming from a Chinese heritage, I’ve always been fascinated by ancient Chinese history and culture. It really intrigues me on how rich Chinese history and culture is, providing many insights from early civilisation and wars to modern day revolution of China. There’s just so many things to see and discover!
Why Africa? I’d like to see and experience the third world countries in a way that will open up my eyes from my comfort of transportation, education, health, democracy and all other basic things in life that I take for granted. It would definitely put our (including myself) day to day complaints to shame and to realise how pathetic they are compared to the rest of the world whom 90% are probably living below poverty line.
Oh yes, I’d like to get some safari action too! I’m a big national geographic fan :)
Why Alaska? I don’t know. The fact that a 2-3 week cruise around the Alaskan glaciers and enjoying the beautiful untarnished environment of Alaska would probably be a big factor. Also the fact that I’ve never seen nor experienced snow in real life as well.
So many things to do while you’re still young. Better make the most of it ay?
