Bye bye China
CHINA | Saturday, 7 November 2009 | Views [38]
Flying out of China tomorrow, visa expires on the 17th, so I gotta go whether I want to or not. Three months has gone extremely quickly, but I'm ready to get off the ride now. :)
The last little while has seen:
- Beijing - great, ended up staying for a week or so
- Great wall - also good
- Shaolin temple - m'eh
- Terracotta warriors - awesome
Ok, so I have a fairly detailed initial plan for Kyushu island:
- Fly in to Fukuoka
- South to Kumamoto - visit the first of many, many castles
- Further down to Kagoshima then a ferry across to Sakurajima for my first ever close-up with an active volcano, should be interesting!
- Then turn around and backtrack up to Fukuoka and cross the straight to Shimonoseki for Fugu! (Tasty-fish, Tasty-fish, POISON FISH!)
After that, the plan gets a bit vague again:
- Hiroshima
- Himeji
- Kobe
- Osaka
- Kyoto
- Nagoya
- Shizuoka
- Tokyo
From Tokyo, fly up to Sapporo then on to the Niseko ski fields. That is, if I can get my accommodation sorted out - bloody paypal.
Seriously, I would send my credit card details plain-text over email before I would give paypal access to my bank account.
