How about China?
"ludfer" wrote in message ... I'm Australian. I generally travel alone. I like mid-level comfort: 3 stars, taxis, some Western food, some local. Touristy stuff and some relaxation around the pool. $AUD120 ($US95) per day after airfares and transfers is the normal budget. I have enjoyed travelling in Thailand, India, Vietnam and The Philippines because they are exotic and alive and fascinating and, most importantly, cheap enough to allow me to experience, for weeks at a time, a couple of times a year, a level of comfort I could not afford in Europe or North America, or even here in Australia. Cambodia is coming up soon, but I am already thinking about the trip after that . Indonesia and Malaysia are obvious targets. A return to the Philippines looks good. I'd go back to Thailand any time, but that's getting a bit predictable. Laos? Sri Lanka? Burma? My dentist suggested Cuba (yes, I know that's not in Asia, but I'm throwing this open). ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Turkey - Istanbul, Gallopoli, Selcuk, Cappadocia, Ankara (much underrated
for some reason!) - and more!!. Easy to travel independently. Myanmar - Yangon, Mandalay, Lake Inle, Bagan. Cheap and fairly easily travelled. Political considerations tho'!!

I'd say go with Egypt, Morrocco and Turkey as the others say. Whilst I
havent been there myself I have travelled trough many of the countries Ludfer mentions, and I'm all Asia'd out. If you have a taste for the exotic then the above would surely fit the bill.

In Myanmar, I'd include a trip to Kyaiktiyo (Golden Rock Pagoda), which
can be done in one (long) day from Rangoon by car. You could also include a day trip by car from Rangoon to Bago, and a half-day trip from Rangoon to Kyauktan (Ye Le Phaya pagoda). USC |
