My laptop is catching a flight to Toronto in an hour so I just want to update all of you as to my whereabouts the next 9 weeks.
I will be spending 4 days of my final week in Australia up in Byron Bay with some friends. We rented a beach house and are planning on just relaxing have having one last hurrah before we all have to go our separate ways. When I get back to Sydney on Wednesday I will be going with a bunch of friends to the State of Origin Rugby game which is essentially the best players from Queensland and New South Wales duking it in a three game series...this is game two so it should be a lot of fun.
As per my earlier post (right below this one) I am heading to China for two weeks before meeting up with Mitch in Singapore. Below are Mitch and I's plans for seeing South East Asia.
1. We will travel from Singapore to Borneo (Malaysian part) and spend a week checking out the Orangutans, rain forests and hopefully some of the best scuba diving in the world
2. From Kota Kinabalu we will fly to Kuala Lumpur and spend a couple of days there.
3, 4. From KL we will travel to Siem Reap, Cambodia where we will see the temples of Angkor Wat and make our way by bus down to Phnom Penh.
5 , 6. From Phnom Penh we will travel via Bangkok to Chiang Mai and spend a chunk of time up there seeing Northern Thailand.
7. From Chiang Mai we are flying to Krabi to check out some of Thailands famous beaches and hopefully get over to the full moon party.
8. From Krabi we will fly to Bangkok and spend a few days there checking out what the city has to offer.
9. From Bangkok we will fly to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in Vietnam.
10. We will spend about 10 days travelling north in Vietnam before getting to Hanoi.
11. From Hanoi we will fly to Hong Kong, my last stop before I come home on August 22nd.
This is our tentative plans as of right now, but I just thought I'd give you guys a heads up of where you can expect to see new blog posts from! Being in Australia has been absolutely great, however the culture is not all that different from home which is why I am really looking forward to seeing a part of the world that is completely foreign to me.
All the best for the coming week, and I'll talk to you all very soon!
