wow...really very details.....perhaps can create a map that mark the place visited :D
48 days and you spent just NZD2500?
I spent around RM1500 in my 8 days in Taiwan...hahaha. Think that I should go NZ.
I haven't published my Taiwan spending details yet, going soon :)
wow this is good.. so which was ur fav place?
TT, used to think doing that, but then I felt putting a link to the map would be easier (hehe, lazy)..
Ah Hong, "just" NZD2500? You need to times 2.51 to make it into RM, which means is RM6275. And that is exclusive of flight tickets. All together, with flight tickets, it's RM8054.35. Aiya, I don't want to calculate this and know the total, but now I do..
Swee San, hmm, this is a hard question. It mostly depends on the weather when we were there, the people I met, the room I stayed etc.. too many places are good.. a bit hard to answer :)
Systematic record!
48 days to travel to so many places in New Zealand... great journey!
Wow~ nice.. u r couchsurfer too?
yes, kafechew!
u spend NZ 2,500 for 40 days, and I estimate each of us had to spend same amount in 8 days .
Chen, since you can afford it, then that's not a problem!! :)
