Whirlwind World Tour

Here's the current world tour line-up...

Europe, generally clockwise around Western Europe (and Prague) in this order:
- Amsterdam
- Berlin
- Prague
- Vienna
- Rome
- Florence
- Cinque Terre, 5 cute little hillside towns by the sea in Northern Italy. I plan to go hiking and take in the views. They have nice beaches too but it will be cold this time of year, pity.
- Pisa, to see the tower in the sandpit and mainly to catch my flight to Paris.
- Paris
- Bruges, Belgium. This town was one of the highlights from my last European trip 9 years ago, so much so that I really must go back.
- Bath, England, because by this time I will be dirty from all my travels and you know what a germophobe I am!

India
- Delhi
- Rajasthan (northern India). Looking forward to a camel safari, praying at Hindi temples, being awed by the Taj Majal, and doing lots of bargaining at bazaars.
- Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), which is where my India tour trip ends.
- Hyderabad (or Cyberabad, because of all the tech companies), to visit my sister.

Thailand and Cambodia
- Bangkok
- Phuket
- Ankor Wat

Taiwan
- Taipei mainly, to visit my Dad and celebrate Chinese New Year.
- Quite possibly a trip to Kaoshiung in the south to see my Mom.

Hong Kong? Singapore?

Back to the Bay Area (around mid- to late-February)

Uh, excuse me? I believe this whole travel blog should be renamed "Jean Lin's Travel Log" (you know how mad she gets when you just call her "Jean" - Juany
