me juz covered europe last may but not those eastern erupoe countries la..
was really an eye opening experience...
i believe backpacking thru S.E.A would be more challenging given the temperate and also the 'not so safe' factors
i went to europe with a partner... it was fun la but ultimately both of u have to have the exact same interests and wavelength... good friends doesnt necessarily make good travelling partners!
give u an example dat happened during my trip... the plan was we only stayed in liverpool for one night before proceeding to manchester... but due to me loving the football club so much i din want to leave early n my friend being an ardent man u fan said its nt fair for him as it will mean dat he will sacrifice time he wil have in manchester...
end up we split up for one night before i join him in manchester...
