      I'm planning to cross border from China to Karimabad, Pakistan and back to China. But I've made some research and found I have to pass Khunjerab pass which is 4600m high (might be high altitude sickness), terrifying roads, occasional road closing due to landslides, boats which might stop due to rain and wind... I'm thinking that it'll be so tough for me...But is it actually easier than I think? I'm kind of chicken guy but Shouldn't I mind and just go?

    • Tips for a couple going to Indo on October!

      Bali 2 hours ago

      Hi everyone! First of all thanks for reading my message!
      My husband and me (31 and 29 years old) are going to Indonesia this October. The total length of our trip is 21 days. We know for sure that we want to spend one week in Mentawais (we will probably stay at the Aloita surf resort). Besides that we don't have any specific place that we want to go. I've heard so many incredible things about Indonesia that is hard to pick places to visit/stay. So I'd love to get some suggestions from people that have been there many times and especially from people who live there. I don't really like to go to touristic places and I sure prefer to meet local people, and go to places where locals hang out. I'd love to see some temples, go to a local yoga studio... And overall learn more about the Indonesian culture. My husband surfs but I don't. We both love the beach lifestyle (we are Brazilians living in California). So we would love to stay close to the beach! Also, some nightlife tips are always welcome! Thanks so much!!!

    • Boracay,A Paradise, BUT HOW SAFE???

      Boracay Island Jun 16, 2013 at 6:37 PM

      i came from manila and decided to live and work in boracay to follow my dreams. yes ive been hired immediately and wow starting to live my dreams in the island, until last monday morning incident happened. Being robbed with unknown numbers of bad people ,inside my apartment while i was sleeping, is definitely not part of that dream. All my valuables were stolen as they break through my windows. these robbers were desperate as they work with the window's grills and robbed my things up to single nail cutter. they left me with none. im just thankful that while i was sleeping they did not harm me, being raped and killed, the thought still hunts me i cant get a good night sleep since that robbery happened. Now, WHERE ARE THE AUTHORITIES??? TO SERVE and PROTECT they said. I went immediately to the police station,narrated what happened,they came to my apartment AND NONE!. Just like my neighbors, these Policemen just look around and done nothing. NO ACTIONS taken, they could investigate and get the footprints around my apartment-the robbers left plenty and muddy footprints.
      How can i continue living and working here in boracay, with all the thousands of tourist every month and being acclaimed as the number one beach destination when safety is in question?

    • Getting around Java

      Java Jun 16, 2013 at 11:29 AM

      Hi everyone,

      I am looking for some advice regarding how best for me and my girlfriend to get around Java in July. We land in Jakarta and will be travelling through Java and ending up in Bali (just started looking at the route but thinking of a lot of places, for example the first part of the route we'll go through Bogor, Cipanas, Bandung, Garut, Kampung Naga and Panagdaran and we know we want to visit Yogyakarta). We have about 9 days to get to Bali so will not have time to stay over in each of the places..

      The question is what's the best way to travel? We want to maintain flexibility as our route/timings won't be exactly planned out. Options I'm thinking of are 1) hire a car with sat nav but is it safe in terms of road quality and car jacking type issues, 2) hire a car with sat nav and driver, but this is a long trip so is this possible, how would it work for the driver's accommodation etc. and can it be booked in advance, 3) use taxis as and when we need to travel but I guess this would be an expensive option and are taxis easy to get hold of across Java, or 4) any better ideas?

      Any advice much appreciated.

      Many thanks

      Trip to nepal, how long, prices and what to do?

      Nepal Jun 16, 2013 at 10:07 AM

      Hey guys,

      This summer I want to do a trip to Nepal.
      What do you think is best? Three weeks in nepal or two in Nepal and then 1 week in Goa for some sun and relaxing?
      How much time will I need there? I like mild (couple of days) trekking in jungle or scenic areas. I have no intentions of climbing mount everest etc. :P I like culture, and relaxing and beautiful scenery. I also love activities like kayaking, rafting and seing wildlife.
      What places and activities do you recommend?
      And how are the prices? I read it is a very cheap country, but is this also true for activities like gouided hikes, kayaking etc? I checked out some websites but most of them don't show any prices on the trips they offer. and on others the priced were very high.

      I don't know so much about this country and any tips are very appreaciated :)
      Thank you!
