Asia travel tips new one bring more cash!

Well I am going to give you a couple of tips

1 bring more money if you are going to come to Asia as everything is getting more expensive at a crazy rate! Milk went from $1 to $1.50, Coffee from $3 to $3.80,
eggs 10 for .6 to ten small for over a buck. Gas is now over $1.25 a liter in Cambodia and Thailand is very similar.

A good friend of mine went online and booked a hotel room online, the hotel never confirmed. The hotel refused the contract rate and wanted more than 25% more than was listed on a major hotel booking search engine! I am not going to ding the engine as it was not there fault.

If you live in the west this is fairly common stuff but has to be very scary for the Khmers and Thais that are already living on the edge. More scary is the price of rice and fish, both of these staples have gone through the roof nearly double what they were a year ago and still climbing like a rocket! I half expect that there will be trouble on that front in the near future here in South East Asia.

the 2nd Asia travel tip is this vodka, take the vodka and stick it into a small bottle and use it as a hand sanitizer. At 60% alcohol by content it is more powerful that the commercial sanitizers and cheaper by weight as well. And hey if the day gets to be a pain you can use it as a stress reliever. Also because it is alcohol you can rub it on your arms and neck and it will cool you down as it evaporates Pretty cool travel tip! Pardon the pun!

Cool picture, it reminds me of my trip when i went to Asia for my vacation. I travelled all around Asia, it was a fantastic experience. I found a cheap flight to Asia with Jetstar Airways. The service was great and the flight was very comfortable.
