Ok great, I look forward to catching up with some of you in Asia!

Benny I’m sure I’ll want to pick your brain about BsAs so if we can catch up somewhere in Oz that’d be great.

Key, I don’t know about a specific ship, or even a route, but in the research I’ve done in the past I think I discovered that ships do run between the continents. Cargo ship travel is very expensive at about $125 per day so I figured the only way to make it worthwhile is to go along a route where plane tickets are expensive. Airfare from Oz to South America is around $2000 one way so a cargo ship taking a month suddenly seems more affordable.

Thanks Suz! I’m not toally altruistic though. Volunteering can be loads of fun and for me really makes my trips more meaningful and interesting.

Victor I’ll be leaving Yangshuo on Thursday. Heading up to Longsheng and then through to the province north of here whose name I forget. Will be be sticking around the area for long? I might stop back down in a few weeks or maybe we’ll cross paths somewhere else in China?

Can I just say, I LOVE how you’re able to incorporate so many volunteer experiences so that you can a) extend your time and b) help people! That’s my favorite parts of your journyes…

Hey Kirsty,

Sounds like you’re having a great time, wish I could travel right now, too … I would just like to ask where you found this cargo ship from Oz to South America? Sounds like a cool way to travel, especially as there are no budget airlines on that route.

Great to meet you as well Kirsty!

It was good to hear your POV on a number of ideas that I’ve been kicking around.

Have fun in South China. Let’s hook up again when you pass back through Shenzhen.

Cheers!
