String comment = 'Around this time next year I'll just be finishing off a ski season in Hokkaido, Japan. I expect I'll have around ~5k USD equiv. budget and I want to explore picrel area. I should probably head home to the UK around the end of august/beginning of september. Which countries should I visit, which ones should I spend the most time in and which ones should I skip? I'm especially interested in countries like Thailand and Vietnam. How should I budget if I am planning around 4 months of travelling around here on ~5k. Do I need a higher budget? Any info is appreciated.';

> China
Everything else is optional imo
Do you have 5k to spend once you get to these places? Or does this not factor in flying. Because I don't know how cheap the flights are for you but that will drain your 5k so fast you won't be able to spend much in these countries
> How should I budget
Only by from local/ street food vendors don't buy from chain restaurants eat local stay local or you'll be getting the same price you would back home. Hostels and cheap hotels as well as airbnbs.
Public transportation will be a most to stretch your money as well as walking when possible.';

I don't think 5k is enough for 4 months in this day and age
shit's getting expensive out there';

I'm willing to take ferries, buses and trains no problem. I can initially get into SK via Hakata > Busan ferry, explore Korea for a bit and then probably fly to whichever has the cheapest flights out of SK. Not sure where that will end up being. Is there ferry options from SK to any of the other countries on this list?';

Japan is best. Just stay there.';

I'd have already been there for 6 months at this point. I do want to see some other stuff too.';
