I haven't been out of the country since I was 7 or 8. :hs: This is my first real vacation in years.

From what I'm told, the "night markets" are sprawling. Lots of food and street vendors. I guess there's access to factories too. I really don't know what I'm shopping for, but I'll figure it out when I'm there.

I've always wanted to head to Asia, but I don't like being a tourist at all. I'd like to go, not feel 100% lost, and constantly in a discovery mode.

That's just awful. Is that even legal? :eh:


I have 10 business days off.
3 "floating holidays" (we don't get an automatic day for the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years)
5 sick days.

From my travel experiences just dont be affraid... take public transport, ask people help if you're lost. Also ask them where to go eat and what to see dont ask the hotels concierges.

i have alwais travelled where people i could kinda comunicate with people using the different language i know and signs and maps (lkucke Jennies knows the language). carry a map of the city!

You will undoutbly feel lost at the begining of the trip but 2 days in and you will be at ease for sho! Take a shit load of picture or you will regret it. Dont delete any pics until you come back! Dont feel embarrased to show that you're a tourist cause usually people are nice to tourists...

wabatongushi lake, its the second largest lake in the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve. I went there 2 years ago with one of our vendors on a trip he put together. He invited me again, and they ran a promotion for our retail locations and my pops won, so he gets to go this time too. Its freaking awesome, totally free trip, all i have to cover is travel to get there and my $40 fishing license. everything else is 100% covered.

our cabin is just south of table rock....its a awesome time...except for the whole bear issue. the vendor rep was jokin i was designated official bear duty, due to my excellent skill with a slingshot and the fact i have no fear in charging down a black bear...their just big pussies as long as they arent mothers with child.
