With out realizing the quotes, the best part of traveling for me is making the plan, especially if I have to travel alone or going to new places. In the past I always making plans of traveling, but the realization is a big zero as the most issue in my condition is always the money. This time it is all different, as I managed to earn something to do this trip. Although I don't have so much time to plan, but I managed to plan, and the best thing is that we (my sister and I) did this together from two different places; I did it in Doha and she did it from Jakarta.
Here is the itineraries:
·   ; Day 1 - Doha - Singapore
·   ; Day 2 - Singapore - KL
·   ; Day 3 - Jakarta - KL
·   ; Day 4 - KL - Siem Reap
·   ; Day 5 to day 6
·   ; Day 6 - Siem Reap - Phnom Penh
·   ; Day 7 - Phnom Penh - Bangkok
·   ; Day 8 to day 10 - Bangkok
·   ; Day 11 - Bangkok - Doha/Jakarta
There seems there is nothing new about this trip, and not too exiting for the usual back packer. I thing the difference between this trip and other trip is that I come from Doha - the Middle East and will meet up with my Sister from Jakarta in KL. Another unique things is how we plan for this trip and manage to materialize it just from the internet. The only time I went to travel agent was when I book my ticket to fly from Doha to Singapore.... The rest I booked it online. From Jakarta as well as from Doha.
Another difference maybe that we both Indonesian, as not so many Indonesian likes to backpacking out side their own country - I think mostly it's because the language problem. On the other hand, the Indonesian who can afford to travel abroad and understand English, usually comes from a better off background, which means that backpacking is out of their option, and it is better for them to be posh and going to a more developed countries.
