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? I did. I came back 5-10 pounds lighter than I left. I think it was due to small portions and the general inconvenience of eating while traveling. The struggle to get adequate veggie content in parts of Malaysia and Indonesia got to be wearing as well. -- Photos and travelogues from Africa and Southeast Asia: http://www.exile.org |

I tend to lose weight too, at least when I travel alone. Food just isn't that important to me when I'm on the move. I stayed 5 days in Hong Kong last year and actually bought NO food at all (free lunch snacks from a VIP program, "free" breakfast at the hotel and one client dinner). I also walk a LOT on vacations and tend to go to sleep early without a big (often without any) dinner. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

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? By not being able to afford to eat that much. Mosquitos? Well yeah, there are mosquitos, if you spend 5$ a day or 100$ a day, same same. No. If you spend $5 a day on a cheap guest house you'll find you have bigger mosquito problems at night than if you stay in a good quality hotel. Transportation expenses? This remark shows you haven't travelled that much in Asia. I'm a legal resident of Indonesia. I have a house in Thailand. I spend probably 10-11 months a year in Asia. In the last 15 years I've probably spent a total of about 10 years cumulative in Asia. You? Personally I never even include transportation expenses in my cost calculation. You can travel from Beijing to Kashgar for less than 100$, And if you're on a $20 a day budget you don't include $100 in your calculations???? from Istanbul to Delhi for l00$, 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. That's right. And if you're willing to live poor, you can make it on that amount. If not, you can't. |
