I wait, yeah I wait, for something good, for something great

Well folks, with a little less than 6 weeks left down under I thought I would update you on my post-Australia plans.

I am set to meet the one and only, Mitch Bushuk on July 11th in Singapore but before that I recently decided that a jaunt to China was in order. Up until recently the idea of China never really crossed my mind but I figured that I had some time between my last exam finishing and meeting Mitch so I might as well make the most of it.

I am set to leave Sydney on the 27th of June where I will fly to Hong Kong and make my way by bus to Guangzhou, China. From there I will fly to Beijing where I will try to cram in as much excitement into 7 days as I can. I will then take the train from Beijing to Shanghai where I will spend another five or so days exploring the sights and sounds before flying back to Guangzhou. After a day or two in Guangzhou it will be onwards and upwards to Singapore to meet Mitch.

While Mitch and I don't have any concrete plans or itineraries thus far for South East Asia, we will spend six weeks trekking around Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam (which I'm looking most forward to) before heading up to Hong Kong in time for me to fly home on the 22nd of August.

Life is great.
