It's that time of the year again, where I plan for my annual getaway. Every year, I always try to go somewhere out of Malaysia (NO! Singapore doesn't count), be it alone or with a group of friends. End of last year, I was in Bangkok alone and it was great fun. Sometime in March this year, I was in Phuket and Phi Phi Island with 2 other friends. It's now time to plan my year end trip! *YAY!*
Ok, so now what are my options? Well, I have the super expensive, the medium ranged, and the most affordable.
Option 1: The Expensive - Gold Coast Australia / Japan
These are the 2 places I would want to go at some point, but somehow this idea always ends up in the bin due to the high currency exchange.
Pros: Gold Coast / Tokyo?....need I say more + Air Asia now flies to GC
Cons: Super expensive. I think if I were to go any of the 2, I will end up eating white bread and sugar for the next 2 - 3 years. Whilst the price of flying there is rather reasonable, it's the accommodation and everything else there that is the "killing" factor.
Option 2: The Medium Ranged - Korea
While I have heard so many things about Korea, I haven't been there before. I was told by most people to follow a tour as you can get lost easily as there due to language problems. Nevertheless, I'm always adventurous and if I do go, it will be without the assistance of a tour guide :)
Pros: Korean food, shopping and Korean chicks! Some place I haven't been to before.
Cons: Language might be a problem here. High possibility of getting conned, lost or kidnapped.
Option 3: The Most Affordable - Hong Kong
The last time I was in Hong Kong was in 2006, and I vowed to return to the beautiful city. I really love it in Hong Kong, partly due to the nature of the whole city and the weather during the year end.
Pros: The food, shopping and more shopping!
Cons: While this might be the most sensible and affordable destination, Hong Kong is a place I have been to before. I want to explore places/countries that I have not been to before.
So how? If you have to choose just one of the 3 above, which will you choose?

if $ ain't an option, japan it is!!!! wuakakakakaka! back to reality *ahem*~ HK year end xmas. Korea autumn/winter time (winter cost more ya).
Hmm, if I were you I'd go elsewhere, really. Like the Maldives, or New Zealand. Depends on what you intend to do on your holiday really. If it's cities, then Japan is the way to go :D
hmmm...actually, now come to think about it...Maldives do sound tempting as well....haiya!
Hahaha, join me for my Bandung trip!! lols... Most affordable & lots of shopping! lols.....
