I just wanted to announce that I intend on traveling upon the completion of this semester. I will be leaving Taipei in two weeks and start making my way west.
The Grand Plan follows as such:
July 1st: Hong Kong--Visiting a dear friend for a week, securing a visa for China and enjoying the city.
July 7th: China--Spend three weeks moving up (or down, I haven't decided the direction yet) the coast. Seeing Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and some other places along the way.
August 1st: Vietnam--My goal is take the reunification express from southern China to Hanoi, spend a couple days. Go to Halong Bay, Hui, and make my way down to Ho Chih Min.
August 15th: Cambodia--Spend a couple days in Phenom Penh and then head to Angkor Wat.
August 26th: Laos--Possibly find a tour up the Mekong into Laos.
September 7th: Thailand--Visit a few islands (possibly the one from the movie The Beach), perhaps a diving class, not entirely sure what the plan is for Thailand.
September 20th: India--Head to Mumbai and travel around seeing a lot of the amazing Hindu sites in the south. I'm trying not to get too ambitious here, since there is so much to see. One could spend half a year and barely see anything.
Mid-November: Home--I will be home by Thanksgiving and flying out of Mumbai.
I have started a new blog to put information on, as this blog will serve as a good reference for anyone going to Taiwan in my footsteps in the same program. In addition, I will no longer be in Taipei, so a new name is appropriate.
New Blog for Travels is-->> http://ad-erica-ventures.blogspot.com
The dates have not been set and I am thinking about volunteering in perhaps one or two places to learn a bit more about the places I am visiting and slow the pace a little bit. Please let me know if you will be in any of these areas around the same approximate times, we could possibly meet up.
