Hi, I'm just curious to know if anyone in here has done some traveling?
The reasons that I'm asking, is that I personally would like to travel aound Asia.
I've been to South Korea, but I would like to go to Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, and China.
So I'm just wanting to know, if there are good places or persons that I can buddy up with to travel.

I've been to Taiwan and China. They are both beautiful places, full of rich history, modern, and there's lots to do in either place. If you're interested, I can give you suggestions on places to go or what to do... I'd love to go back again... I, myself am interested in traveling to other Asian places that you have listed, especially South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Phillipines, etc.

I was planning on China this year because of the Olympics, also because Han Geng of Super Junior will be a torch bearer. But I'm so undecided right now, I was debating over South Korea again or Thailand...I want to go and stalk some Thai Celebrities! LOL! but more importantly I really just want to visit and enjoy the cultures and everything that each country has.

South Korea was really wonderful. And if you see those Korean Drama, the cities and almost everything you see in there are almost accurate. For instance, they do take the bus and subway everywhere...everyday is shopping day for the ladies except on National Holidays! everyone out all night, and even little kids! w/ their cellphone! I really enjoy it, I wish I went with people who were more into the Korean stuff...like the celebrities, the music industry, the cultures, and so forth...the friends that I went with were boring! they did what they like only, wake up late, go shopping! that's not a bad things, but I want to enjoy more of the scenery!

But please feel free to give me some info about Taiwan and China, I might just check it out and go! Yep, go stalk some celebrities too! especially Mike He and Joe Cheng! LOL! also Wu Zhu!
 
i've been to Thailand, China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Maldives, and Cambodia...the cultural rush is absolutely amazing! my tip to you is to go there on your own (as in, not with a tour, because they just tend to go to the most populated, congested tourist attractions, which really doesn't give you a true taste of actual life there) and book (in advance) one-day-long guides to personally show you around... most importantly, explore around on your own and go to out-of-the-way places where few tourists go, and where only those who are familiar with the area go (the day-long tour guides are great for advice on such matters...they know their way around and provide very helpful, time-saving hints for getting around, etc.!)...:)

... If I fulfill this, it'd be great. I still have too many other places in my head...

This Summer I may follow intensive Chinese courses with a Chinese university in Taiwan (Hsinchu). My school pay the school fees, I'll pay the plane ticket. I should go to the school secretariat to get the dates. Still no infos and this is a little worrying : I planned to buy cheaper ticket but day by day, the price is increasing...

OMG! You looking for a traveling buddy? ME TOO!!!!

I really do want to go to thailand, but probably not until next year.

I totally know what you mean about going with people who are not interested in doing anything but shopping. I do like shopping, but I also like the enjoy the sceneries, museums, parks, food tasting... and especially waking up early and enjoying the entire day.

I went to New York with a few friends just a few months back and all they wanted to do was enjoy the night life and waking up late and do the whole thing all over. Seriously!!! that wasn't my thing everyday on vacation... AND!!! last year, I went with a different group of friends to Florida and all they wanted to do everyday was go to the beach.... UGH! it was stupid... seeing the same thing everyday! how sickening...

Yeah, I know what you mean... I guess you just know who you want to travel with and who you don't. I know that I enjoy traveling with my roommate back in college. Whenever we're in a new place, we manage to see as much as possible and learn as possible.

Again, it's also what you and the people you're traveling with want to do. And if you do want to see or do something, you'll need to be firm with them. What I hate is when I do suggest it and the people I travel with is okay with it... they act as if they're in a rush all the time but when they do what they want... they'll drag on forever.

I'm looking for traveling buddy... but let me know anywhere you're interested... maybe we might travel together. Especially to thailand... i don't the language so I'll look like a fool point fingers.
