It's a Buddhist country leh...how can it be "xie"?Originally posted by Fatum:I dunno ... he's going with his gang of teacher khakis ..... sort of a pre-retirement thingy .....
but I'm very worried ..... they say Tibet is very "xie" one ..... a lot of gong taus and such ....
But like a lot of developing countries, there is bound to be some form of gangsterism around, which my colleague encountered on her recent trip. The ladies ventured into someone's home to take photos of the garden or something, and it seemed like some young kids came out to extort money from them.
Think your parents will know how to take care of themselves lah.

On our last yr's trip to the swiss alps, one gal from another grp was so silly to run up the stairs when we were already told specifically not to do that, so within seconds, she fainted.
But what a big baby.

I've told my parents to just come here and I'll take leave to spend time with them ... but they like ambling around in some third world places like some 20s backpackers, and then come back and complain about stuff .... -

No leh...still got lots of places I haven't been to.Originally posted by InnoHippo:sounds like wanda is quite well-travelled Need to save money for it and travel while still young, and not after retirement when the old bones may not be able to climb anymore. -

No, haven't been there, or Vietnam, or Burma. I think Celtic Knot has been to Angkor wat.Originally posted by InnoHippo:have u been to angkor wat? nice or not?
SO and I did go to a few ulu provinces in China (yunan, guizhou, xinjiang)...so if you need info on those, I can share some tips.
Hmm...weather-wise, it seems can still go to parts of China by early-Nov....avoid the school hols.
Edit: sorry, typo. -
