Thanks Jason, very kind of you to say so:o 😮
I tend to do a lot of travel by myself, just to avoid any arguing over where/when to go next etc… i like to be able to do what i want when i want hehe.
As for the cost, a breakdown looks like this
Flight GLA-HKG via DXB return with Emirates £520.
All the inter Asia flights were done on the various loco airlines, Cebu Pacific, Jetstar, Nok Air, One Two Go, Air asia etc…
Flights ranging from £21 to £85 all the Taiwan Domestic flights cost about £30 each, a flat fare system any route, any airline all the same price.
Had some difficulty booking some flights e.g Cebu Pacific do not accept non Phillippino credit cards!! (mental) a handy site for getting cheap fares is at http://www.alternative-airlines.com/ dearest flight was on Sri Lankan from BKK to HKG £103
I had initially booked hostels thru Hostelworld.com but some of the properties were not quite the ritz!! so, used http://www.hotelclub.com most hotels were about £20 per room per night for a 4 star hotel, and that was booking on the day of arrival, could probably be got cheaper booking in advance.
Day to day costs are stupidly low in most of SE Asia (Except the booze!!!:mad: ) you can easily get by on £10-15 a day, and transport around cities is extremely cheap too.
All in all i reckon i spent around £1500.
Thanks again for the kind comment, still a fair bit more shots to come when i can get round to it.
