two people can do it in 8 countries with 32 days tour calendar? A lot of people are sure to answer: Yes!
If two people travel 32 countries in 8 days and spend only 2000 yuan on RMB 12 thousand yuan, can they do that? Probably a lot of people's answer is: it's impossible!
if your answer is "impossible", then you are wrong! Because Mr. Huang, who is 28 years old, lives in Nanping, and his 60 year old mother did it!
Mr. Huang spent more than a month with his mother, who traveled to 8 countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia. They traveled through Vietnam, Kampuchea, Thailand, Laos, Burma, India, Pakistan and Nepal, and the travel costs were $1000 per person.

after the trip, Mr. Huang's mother was very excited. He prepared the clothes and knapsack needed for the tour, and even brought the electric cooker in his home. He thought that if you could not eat the local food, it could also save a lot of money.
mom is busy with the housekeeping work. Here, Mr. Huang begins to work out the travel plan. First of all, he wants to identify the cities he wants to go to and the cities he wants to visit, and the scenic spots he needs to visit in these cities. Secondly, we need to calculate the time, how many days in each city, which line is near, and how to go to the next destination.
the most headaches in the early preparation were the visa issue, Vietnam, Kampuchea, Thailand, Laos, Burma, India, Pakistan and Nepal. Only Vietnam and India were not signed by Vietnam and India, but only 14 days in Thailand, and Mr. Huang did not feel happy, so he went to Chengdu Consulate in advance. A two - month visa was taken. However, there is no Vietnamese consulate in Chongqing, and Mr. Huang has applied for Vietnamese visa in Nanning recently, and India visa in Bangkok.

Travel 8 countries, naturally to elaborate, Mr. Huang thinks the proportion of traffic charges is the largest, and the cost of saving, of course, should be saved from the transportation costs. Huang said that only from Bangkok in Thailand to Calcutta in India, they took the plane, and the rest were selected trains and cars as vehicles.
Vietnam is Mr. Huang's first stop. He and his mother take the train from Chongqing to Nanning, and then take the train from Nanning to Hanoi. In Vietnam, they went to hue and Hu Zhiming, all of them are cars. Then he went to Kampuchea from Vietnam to visit two cities in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, and then came to Bangkok by car. Mr. Huang came to the The Grand Palace in Bangkok and happened to catch up with the birthday of the king of Thailand. The Grand Palace banqued all visitors to lunch, and the staff distributed lunch boxes and drinks to each of the tourists. After
, Mr. Huang went to Hua Hin and Chiang Rai, and went on a boat tour in Chiang Rai, Golden Triangle, via Laos and Burma, two countries. Then they returned to Bangkok and flew from Bangkok to India.
in terms of accommodation, Mr. Huang says the daily accommodation costs between $6 and $10, and they go to a city every time to find a hotel, because they can cut the price on the face. Mr. Huang has the knack of cutting half of his boss's bid, almost every success.
in addition, they try to buy the car tickets or train tickets at night, so it saves the cost of accommodation and does not delay the day to play, it can be described as time saving and saving money.
because of her mother's electric cooker, Mr. Huang almost always buys noodles and cereals at his local supermarket and cooks himself. In addition, some of the local specialties are also very cheap. They found a "new Chongqing style restaurant" in Nepal, which only used RMB 13 yuan.
Mr. Huang also said that besides the two attractions of Angkor and Taj Mahal, tickets will be collected, and the rest of the attractions will be free.
we changed the calculation, India Taj Mahal for foreigners to collect 750 rupees is not actually expensive, the RMB is only 85 yuan, and the annual gold week of China's scenic spots tickets are surprising, last year "eleven" golden week, the famous scenic spots in various places have increased prices, such as Mount Huangshan scenic spot on the ticket prices. From 200 yuan to 230 yuan, Jiuzhaigou off-season tickets 80 yuan, green bus fare 80 yuan, insurance 10 yuan, a total of 170 yuan; peak tickets 220 yuan, green bus fare 90 yuan, insurance 10 yuan, a total of 320 yuan.
Mr. Huang in "Jiong"
train no train crew and no radio station
in India, Mr. Huang and his mother have experienced several "embarrassing" events. They went from Delhi to Amritsar by train, and the train was 3.5 hours late. Since no train crew in India had never broadcast the station, Mr. Huang could only know whether to stop by time and the platform on the platform. ATALA's small station got off the bus, and the enthusiastic webmaster helped them buy two return tickets.
Mr. Huang said that this period of time India was affected by the "black bus incident", the demonstrations were very much, they met in the presidential palace in India, and they were almost trapped in the crowd. He and his mother just came out from the gate of the presidential palace and saw a group of parades coming across the opposite side, when the famous police were afraid they had an accident and stopped them and waited for the parade to leave.
after visiting Taj Mahal, St.Paul's Cathedral, India gate and India and Pakistan, they came to Nepal, went to the Holy Garden of Shakya Mani's birthplace, finally took the car from Nepal to Lhasa, and ended a 32 day trip.
