Unable to decide if I want to travel in South America or Asia?
BEFORE answer this question, PLEASE READ ALL THE BELOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a student and I want to go on a sabbatical. To be honest, I do not care if it's not too educational. I do it for the time of my life and have an incredible experience on vacation. I could either go to the Caribbean and South America and I will go to Florida, Mexico, Belize, Grenada, Grenadines, French Polynesia and Brazil. I can also go to other countries in the Caribbean. Or I could go to Asia (mostly Southeast Asia). I know many people just think that Asia is horrible, but take a look at some of these places on Google and YouTube before commenting on images and you may think differently. I could go to Thailand (look on google images and YouTube Maya Bay), Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, possibly, maybe Papa New Guinea (type in Papua New Guinea beach), possibly the Philippines. Have a look at these beaches the country … they are amazing!
I would recommend South Asia. You can explore a completely different culture, with some rather interesting food and dress, see a beautiful natural landscape and animals, and there are also beaches. Go hiking there. You can always go relax on the beach when you are married with children. Exploration in Southeast Asia by yourself is something that you should do as soon as you can! Good luck.

Cambodia Travel Specials
Are there any special events happening in Asia in April and May?
I go to the travel agent to book a few days my flights and would like it to plan around these events … Go to Bali, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos. Not sure what order again. If you know a good site where I can go to these sorts of things, it would be useful too. Cheers.
Thai New Year (Songkran) is in mid-April … it's fun, but you are likely to become wet. Rough Guides are usually the best info on the festivals of the world etc. Try Lonely Planet site is too …. go to the country that interests you and check the Events page. There are always going on holiday to Bali – it's just a case of being in the right place at the right time. I probably came across a handful that I was there and it was in May of this year, I visited. Make sure just respect the religious sensitivities of the local population. Have a great trip.

Travel Tips in South East Asia
Thailand
Travelling through Thailand is a great experience public transport is great and roads are in excellent condition. A great way to see some of the countryside is to rent a motorbike. When renting a motorbike be sure to check it out thoroughly this is easy enough to say but important points like does the odometer or fuel gauge work these can come in handy later on in the trip, especially if going long distances. The motorbikes in Asia are built a little differently with two brakes a hand brake (front wheel) and the other a foot brake (back wheel). Try to use only the foot brake when travelling fast as using the hand brake will send you flying as it only applies pressure to the front wheel. Another common mistake is when going uphill shifting down gear while gassing the engine this tends to result in a front wheelie and more often than not an accident.
China
China is extremely diverse and the Chinese lead a completely different way of life to the West making it a great experience to travel too. When travelling in China, the roads are excellent as are some of the trains and tracks. As large distances are involved there is a lot of overnight travel. Sleeper trains and buses are common as the local Chinese like to wake up at their destination.
One great tip I learnt while travelling in China on sleeper transport is never to take the bottom bunk. The reason for this is that on many overnight trains and buses the people like to dispose of their rubbish on the floor of the bus or train. This means that if you are sleeping on the bottom bed you are likely to have rubbish thrown down past you during the trip. This is not that bad to deal with but another past time is eating nuts and spitting out the seed casings on the floor, this along with spitting makes the bottom bunk an interesting experience. Waking up to find a pile of rubbish and spit on the floor by your bed doesn’t exactly help either.
Laos
Laos is an extremely beautiful although still primitive country to visit and local transport from villages is normally done on converted trucks, with benches in the back for customers to sit on. Try to avoid travelling on this mode of transport when coming or passing through fishing villages heading to the more centrally located towns, especially in the mornings. The reason is because the villagers tend to take their produce which is mainly fish, including dried fish to sell in the towns. This can make for a very unpleasant experience as the truck is never really considered to be full and sitting next to baskets of fresh and dried fish which stinks for hours is enough to test the stomach of any person.
Cambodia
When travelling in Cambodia, locals like to take Taxis as they are quicker than the buses and manage to avoid the potholes better. The only problem with this is that what the West considers being a normal five door car with two seats in the front and three in the back is considered in Cambodia to hold seven or sometimes eight people. The Cambodians will fit four in the back and three or sometimes even four in the front. If a taxi holds eight people then there would be four in the back and two in the front passenger’s seat a passenger in the driver’s seat, the driver would then be squashed up to the passenger, leaning against him to hold the wheel with his feet at an angle to reach the pedals. This would be impossible in a manual car but some how it is managed in an automatic. Travelling like this is extremely dangerous and not recommended.
There is a general place where Taxis depart from and they don’t depart till they are full. A way to get around this is to buy two or even three seats, effectively meaning you travel in more comfort and safety as this means there would be less people in the Taxi.
