I probably haven't mentioned this yet... In January of next year, I'm planning an epic trip. I was going to go Korea anyways for the Big Show 2011, and I want to go back to Taiwan, so I figured I'm combine them into one big awesome trip.

My plan is to spend 2 or so weeks in Taiwan, before flying to Korea for a week. But then, I was thinking, if I'm already there, why not try to visit some other places?

So that is where YOU come in! Suggestions? Ideas?
(Keep in mind I'd need places in the general area of Taiwan. I also need relatively cheap places - no Japan this time because it's damn expensive)

While I'm on the subject, Who else is planning on going to Big Show 2011?tr

I am so there at the Big Show 2011 I already worked my schedule around it! :D

I'm planning to go to Tibet next year! Though probably not on January coz that's going to be freeeeezing cold. But you might want to include Tibet in your options.

Yay Big Show 2011!! It's in my schedule too. I am not missing it... unless of course North Korea starts a war, and EVEN THEN, I will try to go...

Cool! Tibet seems amazing. It's a bit far to fly from Korea/Taiwan though... Like one of the places I want to go most in the world is Nepal, but it's so damn far away from everything (the places I visit the most are Germany and Taiwan... it's near neither of them). I'll go one day, damn it!

I voted for Hong Kong cause they speak English (and Cantonese, ew ... no offense to Cantonese speakers, ofc), and cause I want to go to Victoria Peak (..and apparently, I intend to live vicariously through you?)

And Mongolia because then you can go see yurts!! I wonder if they have, like, a yurt hotel?! I know how much you love your yurts!

I want to go to Beijing, and Jeju Island. I also want to travel AROUND Japan sometime, and not just stay in Tokyo. But even outside the city is expensive..

ANNND Hong Kong is relatively cheap to get to from Taipei! My ideal scenario is something like Taipei -> Seoul -> Shanghai -> Hong Kong.
(Ewww, Cantonese! It's so confusing me...)

I DO LOVE YURTS! So much... Yurts, and yaks, and horseback riding through the countryside (except without the horseback riding)... Yeah... Mongolia.

Beijing isn't at the top of my list of places. I'd much rather go to Shanghai, Nanjing, or the Fujian province. MAYBE PENGHU?! Jeju seems nice, but I figure it'd be freezing in January, what with the rest of Korea being ridiculously cold (worse than Korea in December, but at least the last time I had heat).

Stupid Japan for being so expensive. I want to go to Okinawa so badly, but EXPENSIVE. *sigh*

And places like hokkaido (woo the country!?) and kyoto (wooo maiko!?) and shit.

I have no experience, but I think any major city in china is worth going to.

Who else is planning on going to Big Show 2011

I want to go and I could afford to go but it's very up in the air for me because I've never been outside of america before.

I definitely want to visit China. I know it would be amazing.

You should do it. Everyone is nervous their first time overseas. My first trip was to Germany when I was in college. I went alone (I was doing a fellowship, and was meeting with a group while there), and got lost fairly consistently. I also got followed in a train station by a creepy middle aged man, and yelled at by a lady for some reason... Despite all that, I loved it.

Don't worry too much about the language barrier either. Korea's fairly easy to get around without knowing an ounce of Korean. I'd actually like to see who's going to see if we could all meet up, because that would be amazing!

My only worry with Jeju is that I'll be going in January/February, so it's not like going near the ocean would be particularly enjoyable during that time...

Thanks for the heads up though!

Cool! I keep wanting to go there, since there's a lot of Chinese culture, but you also speak English, so I won't have to totally depend on my Mandarin like I have to do in Taiwan...

Yeah true I guess , I was there round November-dec last yr and it was realll windy somehow , I found it colder than Seoul though I wasnt near the ocean..

welcome anw , :)

Yeah , tons of Chinese around , people here mostly can speak English fluently or at least its able to be understood I guess . Come to think of it , though Imma local , I hardly use Chinese much , unless taxi drivers and all are chinese..

Sadly those places are too far away from Taiwan for them to be viable options (too expensive). I want to visit SE Asia, but I won't be able to on this trip.
