    Japan, Interesting... Had been thinking aboout there strangely enough. Why so?

    Initially wanted to go on TEFL course there for a year but in two minds...

    Any idea where to get cheapest flights there? Tokyo worth the longest time?

    On 2 grand?

    2 grand isn't enough for 6 weeks anywhere. Thailand is about your best option.

    €2000 is not alot of money. On a serious note you'd get a fair amount of InterRailing and hostelling for that. Or probably to the States and back.

    I spent 2 weeks in Tokyo. Next time I want to check out Kyoto, and some of the rest of the country.

    It's possible. Couchsurfing or cheap hostels will be your savior.

    and book your accomadation on hostelworld.com
    they dont charge a service charge to irish people, because its irish owned.

    Defintely interrailing.

    Get a cheap flight to eastern europe and work your way back alont the med, staying at hostels. I did and it was absolutely brilliant, went by myself and met loads of people

    u can stay in a nice hostel in manhattan for 18euro a night. food,drink and everything else there is half of what it costs here. u can get cheap buses around america. stay in motels or hostels in more popular cities. meet some students and stay with them. make friends with a hobo and travel with him to mississippi by train. fly into miami. party, then go to the airport and book a flight to cuba(7small airlines fly there from miami). stay there for 10days, 20euro a nite for your own ensuite room. fly back to miami and head to texas. eat a big steak and visit jr ewing's gaff. then on to oklahoma. then on to the grand canyon and make your way over to california. san diego 1st. chill there in a hostel. spend time at the beaches. then head down to TJ to see some drug feuds, grenades and submachine guns are just the thing to get the adrenaline going. u wont even need to buy drugs. buy some tequila and then get the amtrak to san fran. chill there for a week or 2.

    Thailand 2k = 95000 baht. plus very cheap cost of living and great scenery and spots. Great if your into martial arts too.

    For E2K I'd go to Y2K;)

    Mongolia, or Trans-Siberian.

    Thailand, Oz, NZ: yawn, everyone does that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,376 ✭✭✭gaeilgegrinds

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭Red Hand

    You cant really go to far out of Europe with that money coz of flights would just take to large a chunk out of it, so inter railing for me

    I was in the town that was filmed in, the locals are way to drunk and stoned to do that kind of stuff.

    maybe Halong bay, but the rest of it is pretty normal, most dangerous country i was in by far!

    Were you there in the late 60s by any chance?

    was there in december/january 08/09 actually


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,896 ✭✭✭✭phantom_lord


    2k? that wouldn't even cover me living here for 6 weeks, i can't image you travelling on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,629 ✭✭✭Adiboo


    Iran is also a very cheap destination. Flights cost about 600-800, and after that you can survive for a month on €500. You'd come home with money to spare.

    And don't be put off by the people to will say it's dangerous. Iran is one of the most friendly countries on the planet.
