I’m back with a new plan. I am leaving on September 18th on flight NWA 25 to Tokyo, Japan. With the help of a local Japanese travel agency, I have a Japan Rail Pass in my hands good for 21 days.
My plan continues after traveling through Japan with a ferry to South Korea. I’m thinking I’ll spend 10-14 days in Korea.
Finally, I will take another ferry to China, and after a short train I will arrive back in Beijing to continue 4 more weeks of language classes. After the four weeks, I hope to travel around China for about another month, heading south.
In late December, I plan on flying to Thailand for a few weeks and then continue around SE Asia in the new year.
