February golden triangle adventure

Visa has been applied for to travel to cbpdia, loas and I have my visa for Vietnam. 

I have some cash saved up for the trip now that I am paid! Thank goodness and all the travel clothes I need for southeast asia. 

The passports are silly costs. Money grabs really, but cheaper than what they used to be, hopefully they are not fake or setting us up for jail or something :p

So far we are starting in Singapore, heading to Malaysia and then making our way to Thailand and loas (maybe loas) then we are heading to Cambodia and finally Vietnam. So ya roughly 5 pr so countries in one month. Funny how looking at the month you wonder where all your time will be spent and you think darn that looks short, what do you mean I only get like 22 days or so of travelling!? :p

I think of most things this holiday I'm going to miss my Ren Li. I have not had the opportunity to tell you much about her yet but ya, she has been a new part of my life, a beautiful Chinese woman with similar aspirations and inspirations as myself :) hoping I am able to travel with her in the bear future :)

May will bring an opportunity to travel for a week, maybe I'll find something in here worth checking out :)

Goals for February:

1. Fire rocket launcher (Cambodia or Vietnam)

2. Jungle treks (Indian jones sorta jungle treling), maybe Rambo or predator too :p

3. Jungle temples and regular temples, beautiful works of art and life changing religious moments with the bestie!

We leave January 31st. First week is Malaysia and Singapore, the second week is Bangkok and siem reap finally it ends in Vietnam, starting in ho chi men city working our way north to fly back home from Hanoi. 

There will be a few teachers in Thailand who hopefully we will have an opportune moment to establish contact with but I'm not holding my breath.

Many stories to come.

Cheers!

Income Tax for Foriegners

To begin this, I'll sum up that if you are not necessarily interested in my own personal outlooks and views on things this is what you would like to see and get assitance with if you are an Expat in China who has no idea of how taxation works. http://www.china-briefing.com/news/2015/01/28/paying-foreign-employees-individual-income-tax.html For those of you who appreciate and looked forward to my "Feihua", here it is. I have been in China for four years now, just when I think I understand how things work-I'm wrong (or it changed). Regardless of what it is when you read this, it is this for the time being. Realistically it is not as bad as one may think it to be when comparing the tax process from here to other places such as in the Middle East. Again, the view is from an outsider of that culture and expat community, however it still seems to be a relatively  conversed and ranging topic of positives and negatives. The tax system in China has its benefits as wel...

大黑山 Big Black Mountain Hike (2014)

Smoggy day :( could be better but I have been trying to do this for far to long and I currently have the opportunity to do so. Seizing the day. Origin point jinshitan, qinggui to kaifaqu. Stopped in kaifaqu, heading to tong shi tai, it is the first stop of the smaller line that stems from kaifaqu station. When getting off the train in kaifaqu, walk to the railway to your right that has the next station sign pointing in the direction your train came from. Get on train. Get off the train and head down stairs, exit off the same way you entered the train. Once you punch out of the station, exit the right side of the building onto dongbei road, a short distance to your left you will see a curve I to the next street which is______ road, go down that road _____ a short distance ahead you will see a hard to notice bus stop, jump onto bus 4, take it till they kick you off. After you get kicked off you will be confused and around what looks to be a street market. Lots of places to get food and w...

Five countries, Four Weeks Pt.6 "Koh Phi Phi-Bangkok"

Koh Phi Phi was indeed a beautiful island, right from the moment we stepped off  the boat  till the second we got back on to leave. Again, everyone seems to be asking for a dollar here, a dollar there. It becomes regular yet annoying. The island itself is very small but so incredibly easy to get lost on. Every back alley takes you to the same main bays but how far down the bays you are is the tricky part of figuring out your location. We stayed at a shady looking guesthouse called “Oasis Guesthouse” which was not too expensive but certainly didn’t seem all that secure considering the windows were just glass panes and there seemed to be a gecko or two which were always running around. Kyle and I roomed together while Jesse and Krista were sharing a room. I mostly remember from the time spent in that room, Kyle telling me again and again “rather have geckos than anything else…” I looked at him as if he was getting ill. He continued to explain that geckos are two things, faster ...
