Asia Travel Itinerary

I forgot to say what my planned travel itinerary is:

• South Korea
• Japan
• Taiwan
• Hong Kong
• Vietnam
• Laos
• Cambodia
• Thailand
• Malaysia
• Singapore
• Indonesia
• Philippines
• India

Basically, most of East, Southeast, and South Asia. I haven’t done any research for any of these countries (except South Korea, where I am now), so I don’t know which particular cities I’ll go to, although I assume I’ll at least visit the capital cities. I plan to buy a guidebook or read WikiTravel for each country just before or when I arrive there. Depending on when I get tired of travel or run out of money, or if my interests change, I may not make it to all of them. I’m keeping my schedule flexible by buying flights as I go, although I have to have onward/return tickets before entering a lot of countries, which means I have to know my exit date ahead of time, which is annoying. I plan to visit these countries in this order. I’ve heard there are problems along the Thailand-Cambodia border, and that it might be better to just fly to Thailand from another Southeast Asia country, or vice versa. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
