The apartment is as empty as it was when we moved in. Threw away
basically all my junk and now settling for a lot less. Originally we
were going to move out by February 1st and I was to move to a one
bedroom for $600. Thankfully I didn't hand them a deposit for February
1st because the current apartment needs to be leased out first before I
am able to move since I'm breaking the lease. The new tenants will be
moving in March 1st instead of February 1st. This gives me extra time
to decide where I'll be living for before I leave. I'm moving out to
save money.
March 12th, 2009 in Beijing, China. That's the plan. Starting in
China (Even with that ridiculous $130 visa fee). From China things are
pretty open but I did map out a general idea on where I am going so I
don't back track. China > Nepal > India > Thailand > Laos
> Cambodia > Singapore > Australia > New Zealand >
Argentina > Peru > Miami, Florida > San Francisco, California
> NYC back home to rest > Europe (list of another dozen
countries)... I know it seems like a lot but I'll be traveling for a very
long time. I know it will change but I had to get a general idea on my
direction. I do plan to get work visa's perhaps in Australia and New
Zealand to earn some extra cash to continue traveling. We'll see where
the road takes me.
I just purchased an Asus EEE 1000 for traveling which I am VERY
happy with. I'll have to get use to the small screen. It'll be used for
blogging, photo storage, video storage, and anything else related to my
two websites (www.djskylab.com and www.artofbackpacking.com). Teresa
bought me a Sanyo Xacti DMX-CA8 which is a waterproof video camera.
Perfect! One item left to get is a digital camera (might take an old
one I have laying around).
I want to leave right now but I know I just need to be patient. I hope everyone had a good new year!- from www.djskylab.com
