I don't really know why or what put the idea in my head (okay I'm lying it was an episode of How I Met Your Mother) but tonight I was struck with the urge to impulsively go somewhere. Start the year off with something I've never done before!

The only problem is: I don't have THAT much money in my savings, and I can't wipe out my savings either. I'm also going on a small trip just interstate with friends in early Feb -- only it doesn't satiate my wanderlust because it's not to somewhere that different.

So with it in mind that I don't want to go for too long and I want to travel on the cheaps, I was thinking somewhere awesome in Asia. Not a big city (though I could get free accom in Hong Kong depending on when I go -- thank you, relatives), but a Thailand or something. What do I do? What do I look at? What should I think about?
