escapism in 2007

travel plans for escape 2 in 2007
1. first stop: beijing in march
tickets are already booked...but still not paid yet. i am still hoping to get cheaper tickets. heard mas virtual ticket fair that is coming soon. dunno whether i can get cheap tickets online. it will be a free and easy thingy in beijing. a housemate's sister is studying there...so accomodation is settled. i have an aunt there too...a 100% local...shopping for local goods will depend on her. i hope the weather will not be cold. people say it is already the beginning of spring, so maybe flowers are starting to bloom and light springy steps will lead the path. aahh..how ideal and romantic.
2. next stop in may/june: langkawi island?? maybe
3. third stop or last: cambodia in august
this is confirmed as well....blame air asia for making me plan this so well ahead. 1,000,000 free tickets to give away....well, i only got one!! what giveaway..my foot!!! i only got 1 way free...but it is still the cheapest way to fly to cambodia i guess...less than 400. only another gal dare to follow me on this less trodden path. the others have been filling me in with stories of visit to the police station. not one story mind u, a few which ended up in the police station. these are people who travelled on their own without a guide. i plan to get a hotel online and then explore on my own, but after hearing the stories, am in a rut. there is still ample time to go ask around and seek advice. maybe hiring a local guide will ease the scare. well, if anyone has any advice, please drop them. or anyone wants to join this trip?? flight is going to land in phnom penh and angkor wat is not to be missed in siam reap.
4. err...still got money left ah???.........
