hamilton Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Cambodia... visit Angkor Wat (and all the surrounding temples) near the city of Siemreap while you can. Beautiful country, friendly people, cheap prices - and on the opposite side of the penninsula from tsunami damage. Take the boat across Tonle Sap and down the river to visit Phnom Penh and see more cool stuff (beautiful palaces, temples, French colonial architecture, and monkeys that hoot at you), and some scary stuff (like the Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng torture compound). Go to Happy Herb's (on the riverbank in Phnom Penh) for a pizza. Order it "extra happy". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMack Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I'd second the south east asia vote. New Zealand is on my list. Eastern Europe for some absinthe. My next trip was looking like a Mexico / Belize combo... But man, I have to admit, 3 weeks in May/June for me would mean tour. Do a west coast run with somebody. Or a down south run culminating at Bonnaroo. Time to check out some Panic man! Or Dark Star is playing around then I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaggyBalls Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 What about eastern Europe? way cheaper to live/eat/drink absinthe there... a tropical island paradise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr8FuL Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Bokonon, Greece is the most amazing place i have ever been too, soo much history you can feel it in the air when you step off the plane!! I went there last january for a month, my mom got married there so iwent for the wedding, my stepfather is a greek! The church it was in so was soo old, i never got an exact date but very very old, amazing architecture!!Definetley plan to have an extended visit, i spent most of my time in athens where my step fathers family lives, but i gotta say if ya go check out aliakmonas area, very beautiful its northern near the coast, very beautiful beaches awsome cities,just a cool all around place! Ya gotta check out the parthanon too, it was breathtaking, i got a real erie feeling almost from it!! All the ruins gave me that though!!Acheloos is also an amazing area, lots to do, beaches,clubs, lotsa live greek music all over, which i couldnt understand but sh!t they could play!! Its definetley a place i'll be going back to for sure!! Oh and if ur into jewlery,especially gold, lotsa of that, beautiful stuff, and soooo cheap it crazy!!

FairySari Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Brazil is an awesome place to visit - try checking out a smaller beach town like Buzios, rather than a huge city. Eastern Europe is great, especially is you're looking for an inexpensive vacation. You could live like a king in Romania for less than 20 dollars a day. And they have beach resorts on the east coast. Can't remember the towns' names exactly, but i think there's a few named after greek gods, like Jupiter and stuff. And I'll second the BVI's - sooo much nicer than the USVI, much less crime, and even nicer if you can get around on a yacht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingbear Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 thank you all...., so many great places! ...mhhhhh hookah in november.... :: :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 My favourite place in the world so far is in Tahiti. I highly reccomend it to anyone who's ever thought of going that way. It's pretty expensive though. Fuji might be another good alternative for the south pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 i love spain, although it would be very hot and crowded in june. my next big trip is going to be to portillo chile, for some summer snowboarding. ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I look forward to some day getting back to the south of India - Kerala, especially. Tropical climate, dense forests, long canals, and dazzling beaches, friendly laid back people (hardly any of the hustle of the north), the food (!), garlands of jasmine in the women's hair, and, of course, devastatingly good music.

Kaidy Mae Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 EKOOSTIK HOOKAH IN CANCUN, MEXICO IN NOVEMBER 2005! Playa Del Carmen is about 45 minutes to an hour south of Cancun on hwy 307. I'm moving there for a few months next winter. Still relatively cheap although the tourist industry is really starting to pick up. Check it out before it's another Daytona Beach! Ew!
