I hate going to tourist-geared areas since things are heavily over-priced - from food to lodging, transportation to handicrafts. I prefer something like a slightly more luxurious backpacking experience where you can explore the rural areas at your own pace and have a comfy bed to sleep in at night ;) I guess we are attracted to the rustic charm of places!

I want to see the country sides and the non-touristy destinations more. I told some people and there were like .. WTF. I even asked my sister if there were really rolling green hills in England like you see on TV and she was like <em>"why the hell do you want to see rolling green hills?"</em> I don't think there's anything wrong with guys wearing lip balm; it's better than having dry and chapped lips! I've been trying to force my BF to use lip balm but I just got him to start using hand lotion because they're so dry so I gotta take it slow. LOL. Yeah, you totally got it!

At least now I don't have to worry about losing them. I haven't been to any country other than Canada and the US.. well Hong Kong when I was like 5 so that doesn't count. My boyfriend is the only one who can travel with me since all my friends are in school.. but after next year, he won't be able to anymore because he wants to start his business then. Hopefully my friends would be done school by then. Traveling with GFs would definitely be more different.. more partying! But then we'd get sooo sick of each other. Glad you liked the lipstick! I haven't tried on a red lipstick since I was pasty white... I wonder if it'll actually suit me since I'm a bit tanned now. I'm too scared to try it! Hahaha.

But since things are crazy expensive there, I don't mind waiting for a couple of years... we were going to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Vietnam, Korea, Thailand and some other places which sucks because I was super excited.

I would take advantage of funky belts, bracelets and cocktail rings (I'd say chunky necklaces but I think it's so annoying wearing them in hot weather).

It sucks that they have schedules that clashes with your planned trips and you have no choice but to say 'screw it!' and cancel whatever that you've booked. Europe isn't half bad as a holiday destination - if you're digging the rural, unexplored regions of Asia, Europe has a fair share of it and you can always ditch the tour operators for a self-planned trip (but that means a lot of planning work, which I know it's very taxing and troublesome). Tour guides bring you to stores where they already have an agreement with and drag you to famous tourist destinations... that's the part that I would rather avoid, since I really love the country side of Europe that a lot of tour operators don't bring you to. I yapped so much about vacations I nearly forgot to respond to the lip balm part! I have naturally dry skin and my lips crack very often when I was a kid. Mom got me a regular lip balm - she was afraid that if she get me a flavoured one, I will chomp the whole thing up!. I remebered being teased in school by friends and even a teacher who said that lip balms are for girls. Jeez. p/s: Speaking of vacation, my parents promised me since I was in elementary school that they will bring me to visit the land down under and I've never been there hah! I guess when I get older it will be me bringing them to Aussie instead :P Sorry to hear about the botched 6-week vacation plan Katy!
