Which route should i take: NE or SE Asia?
Hey, so in the beginning of the year I was thinking that I wouldn't backpack this year. Rather I would just work and save money for next year.
However, my buddy called me a couple of weeks ago: he's getting married in Hong Kong in August.... which means I am obligated to go. :D
And if I go, there's no way I'm spending that much money for a few days... I'll go for at least a month. Let's say 5 weeks. This means I'm going to be backpacking. And since August is the most hot and busy, I figure I will do the bulk of the travelling in July and end of in HK in august.
SO - here's the question. Should I...
a) Do the Northeastern Asia route: Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong
OR
b) Do a Southeastern Asia route: Thailand, Philliphines, Cambodia, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong?
What do u guys think?
