so, maybe this is goodbye it a way. but no, not forever.
I'm only 20 years old, the beginning of my life, as I see it, and now I feel like I have to see the world. I have to visit new cultures. I have to learn how to take care of myself and solve problems. I have to relax and feel like there is no tomorrow. I have to meet new people face to face, share stories and hear stories in return.
I love the fact that I'm getting older, because it's only the journey towards who I want to be, who I truly am, and hopefully the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I love feeling like this. it's like nothing is impossible.
so, my travelparnter, sofia, and I will take off, to China at first. we will land in Beijing, and probably flail about the fact that we've reached Asia at last. thereafter we will be off to the trainstation, and work out how to buy a trainticket to Kunming, Yunnan. it's either a train ride á la 38 or 44 hours. in Kunming we've booked 10 nights on a hostel called the Hump. our dear beloved sara has been living in this city since August last year, and we'll get time to spend with her.
then, in the beginning of May, we continue on to Vietnam, which border is very close to where we are. we'll arrive a few days before the 7th.
do you know what happens on the 7th?
SUPER SHOW 3 IN HO CHI MINH.
I never thought it would be reality to see my favourites for real. but with a little determination and luck, things can work out the way you want them to.
we'll stay in Vietnam for two weeks or so, since as a Swedish citizen, you can stay in the country for so long without a visa. after that we'll hopefully continue on to Singapore, where, if it works out, I'll meet someone very dear to me. wouldn't that be really really cool!
and after Singapore, it's a little blurry. maybe we go straight to South Korea, maybe we stop by at Taiwan. we just know that we're going to try and spend a couple of weeks in Seoul and other towns in Korea (not North though). when we feel good about our stay there, we're going back to China, since we have double entry, and will do all the touristy stuff in Beijing, visit the wall etc.
the last stop will hopefully be Paris, France, if we have money left, because, y'know, it would be awesome to spend a little time in Paris during the summer.
this trip might take 3 months, maybe more, maybe less, if everything goes as planned. I will try and stop by on tumblr when I can, just to update and leave a few messages, but other than that, this will be my vacation, after 6 months of working for money.
take care of your health. I will see you all eventually. ♥
