Simple question. What makes a trip worth going? Is it expensive food, extreme adventure, or posh resorts? Possibly. Is that what you need to qualify a good trip? Maybe if you're into that. What makes a good trip is up to anyone, just depends on what you're expecting vs. what you REALLY want.
To me however, it comes down to the simplest of things...good food, good friends, good conversation, some adventure, some excitement, toss in a little romance and shake til done! I've really experienced it all these last few weeeks - $0.75 noodles on a street in bangkok that was absolutely heavenly, kick-boxing fights from the 5th row, scamming people slightly for the greater good (see previous - story on United Premier lounge), fine dining, random- long-philisophical-hypothetical conversations with friends on the subway, seeing new places and new faces. If possible, add in a sprig of fleeting romance here or there and you've got yourself a WICKED vacation.
I highly recommend these kind of things to all my friends. I just wish they would take my advice more often.
Alas, it is 5:30 am and I have to leave in 1.5 hrs to get on the subway to the train to the airport. It is time to nap.
I will epilogue later, I promise.
Til then, chow.
