What are you doing right now?

Visit Bangkok. It's cheap right now. This is the website I used to visit Europe three times. Can't beat the prices.

it'd be about $3,630 for me to visit using the cheapest available options

How's that? You must only stay in the 5-star hotels.

All three trips I made cost me around $2300 for TWO people to fly from L.A. to Europe, 6 nights at a 4-star hotel.

The only catch for that price is that you have to travel from November to March.

idk, it was $999 for a week stay in the cheapest hotel and nearly a $600 fee to fly out of any airport in the midwest...the charge for someone to fly out of LA was $0

Ok, you're right. The best I came up with was $3348 but for TWO people.

But just think of it. You and I can buy all the counterfeit software we can carry. Eat spicy thai food all day. That reminds me that we need to make sure the hotel room has two bathrooms cause we'll be spending half of the time in there.

Then we would bother Thomas half the time. Borrow his car and scare each other to death trying to drive on the left side of the road.

An engineering geek trip to the IT mall.

So what do you say, Matt?

Sign me up Long, that'd be an awesome time away from the States

599,000 baht before financing, and at the time the Baht was very close to 30 to the dollar, so yes, I have (well, had...) a $20,000 base Yaris

Dammit guys you have no idea how badly I'd love to be there

But yeah got a lot of work to do... I can't just go off gallivanting with friends, for a trip like this to be worthwhile I'd have to go at least a week... Heck, I have to go on a business trip for training at a manufacturer in Italy soon and it's being a real PITA to figure out...

Visa would not be a problem, though I have a fancy new biometric passport so I can literally just waltz into the US

but I promise, as soon as I practically have the ability to, I'll be flying over
