Forum, Norway is far from perfect. Norwegians have kind of cold and distant personalities. I think we are so focused on the materialistic stuff that we forget whats really important.

Bigal1, I agree with you. Its hard to meet someone who wants to talk and know english. Luckily, I believe we can do a lot of communication through our body language. For example showing that your intentions are good through a friendly smile or by giving something. There was actually a study that showed that 93% of all communication is nonverbal.

I think this itinerary will work then. Thanks for helping out. Im kind of overwhelmed by how much work it can be to put together a decent itinerary

Jon, you sound like a nice guy, just be careful who you trust, because there's a lot of bad people in asia too. Before you go be sure to read up on scams, like the filipino card game scam (happening in Cambodia + Vietnam right now), or the foreigner who just lost his passport and needs money to get to the US embassy, or the orphanage visits where the kids aren't really orphans. This doesn't mean everything is a scam, but if you know what is and what isn't you'll have a much better time.

Google scam on the South East Asia forum and you'll see what they are. Have fun on your trip! Sounds like a great trip.
