Hi
How much money would I need for one-year travel in Asia (china, SEA,
India, Nepal)? Do you thing 7000USD would be enough?

Depends entirely on how you want to live. You're talking about less
than $20 per day and that includes transportation expenses.

If you plan on losing weight and don't mind living with mosquitoes and
cockroaches, you *MIGHT* make it.

Losing weight? In Asia? How could one possibly lose weight in Asia?
Mosquitos? Well yeah, there are mosquitos, if you spend 5$ a day or
100$ a day, same same. Transportation expenses? This remark shows you
haven't travelled that much in Asia. Personally I never even include
transportation expenses in my cost calculation. You can travel from
Beijing to Kashgar for less than 100$, from Istanbul to Delhi for
l00$, from Bangkok to Phnom Penh to Saigon to Hanoi to Vientiane and
back to Bangkok for 100$.

you *MIGHT* make it.

Gimme a break, come on. We're talking Asia, not the US.
