Around The World

Think we were about 5/6 days too.

We wanted more but we still had a lot of fun and a lot of great times.

We went flashpacking to:

- Hawaii for about 4 days
- Fiji for about 5 ish days
- Sydney for 4 ish
- Brisbane 3
- Cains 4 ish
- Adelaide 3 I think
- Drove the Great Ocean Road and stayed in the middle of nowhere
- Melbourne 3/4 days
- New Zealand, Christchurch for 4 days to visit a mate.

It was very full on moving about a lot I must admit but it was great.

I also went to Spain and Germany to go to Oktoberfest that year!

Busy year for me.

 

don't get me wrong (the rain didn't help), it's an interesting city and i had a great time. However in terms of experience, i would say Kyoto and Hakone were far bigger differences to anything i had seen/experienced compared to tokyo

 

Taroko Gorge is a must then. Taipei is a nice capital too with some great day trips on the outskirts on the metro line, really easy to navigate.

 

Jakarta is the world’s biggest building site atm but there are a few interesting places to visit nearby particularly if its not raining. Bogor, Puncak, Bandung are all nice. If you are young and single then the nightlife is pretty good - I have heard! However its just another megacity and Bali will seem like a haven of relaxation afterwards.

 

Thanks

Actually visiting someone out there so have got myself my own tour guide! Have let them choose most of the places I am going to, so hopefully it's a decent list. Think she wants me to move out there so is trying to impress

 

Were the ish days, drunken days?

 

Yeah, memory fades.

All a blur

 

Thought there must have been something amiis

 

I'll have to look up Taroko Gorge, cheers for the advice. Taipei i'd really like to see, seems like an interesting place.

 

Are you planning to rob a bank or something? This sounds a costly trip.

 

Expecting to spend about £20k-£25k (including flights) for two of us to be away for about 9 months.

 

Sounds like an epic trip mate. Will you be holding a vote on here for the second person to join you ?

 

That’s another way to enjoy Jakarta! Enjoy yourself. If you want any advice on living and working here PM me - been here nearly 30 years now.

 

I definitely choose my fiancé over any of you ****s... plus if I put it to a vote you horrible bastards would send me with someone like saxton

 

Selfish ****

 

If we wanted to be really vindictive, Dull. He’s mind numbingly boring , and nine months with him would drive any sane person into either a murderous or suicidal rage!

 

If you're heading to Morocco, tap me up I know the place really well. Same for California / Oregon in the US. Also travelled a fair bit in Mexico, Guatemala and Venezuela

 

I doubt he has a passport.

 

9 months...Is it a coincidence that he's also a massive fanny?
