1. Why Ukraine, I actually wanted to fly to Georgia .... but from India although it's nearer it's difficult to get to as This English World cyclist found.. From India or Dubai there aren't even flights to Yervan, Armenia which is close to Geogia - so Plan 2 one other place I had been thinking about was Ukraine as I have never been there and in the last 2 years the rules have changed so I don't need a visa. So I checked airarabia and the fare was a reasoanle $300 from India. So fly on Thursday July 9th - (2 nd time with this airline and 2nd time they broke my bag seems like they have a systematic problem ..would you fly them ?) .. I have this Idea I will teach English there... but just found the economy collapsed - maybe volunteer at some popfestivals ....something good will happen surely ..that's the adventure of travel Reassessment of travel - What's wrong ? I am "losing my touch" It used to be stay at home and nothing happens ... travel and by magic exciting things happen .. you end up on TV, you find a great job YOU GET LUCKY .... The more diffcult the country.. ultimately the bigger rewards.. Like in Japan ..it was hard but lucky things happen but in the last few years it's stopped working for me ..there have been no amazing adventures ... yet I used to have many - Malaysia wasn't that great and now I hate the places I visit ..Nepal and India - The way I have been doing things seems to be keeping me away from the luck - Perhap it's cos I am staying at the cheapest places etc, so get more hasle and meet leower quality people ? UK to Asia 180 quid Wow I see that Airasia.com really does have some good fares if you book in advance like UK to KL for 130 Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri 5 Sat Sun 7
