About the choice of the destinations
So why China you ask? Well, it is quite simple actually:
- to see my friend competing at the Olympics :)
- go to a country i've never been to before
- experience the wonders of Asia
- have another great pack-packing trip and long vacation
And then Vietnam came just as a bonus on its own, some of my friends have been to Vietnam and they praised the country a lot. It is nice and close to where I'm going - so why not :)
To be honest, I don't need any excuses for travelling actually. It is simply one of the greatest things to do - to experience another culture, wonder on foreign land and see the miracles of the world.
Initial schedule
I've got the plane tickets bought so now I can post the schedule with bigger confidence:
- 17th leaving Tallinn via Helsinki and arriving to Beijing the next day
- 18th-22nd Beijing: triathlon competition, beach volley and track&field + THE Great Wall + lots of museums (because I love museums) + galleries + everything that we can possibly fit in
- 23rd Tianjin and in the evening to Quingdao
- 24th-25th Quingdao
- 26th Zhujiayu
- 27th Tai'an
- 28th-31st Shanghai: definitely will go on one Maglev ride :)
- 1st of September Tongli
- 2nd Süzhõu
- 3rd-4th Hangzhõu
- 5th Xiamen
- 6th-8th Hong Kong
- 9th-10th Macau
- 11th-23rd Vietnam.. haven't managed to plan anything to that country yet
Of course this schedule is idealistic and will probably change daily once there :) I guess I'm not estimating the distances accurately and probably the schedule is way too packed at the moment.. but we will see.
For the preparations part, not much is done. I've got the tickets, I've got whole lot of vacinations throughout the year (2nd and 3rd shots) and I got all the documents and requirements printed out for the visas application. That is it too for now. Will continue in a month with arranging all the rest :)
