Travel: China "Cold" Adventure (Part2)



Before this I already told that it is better to make a rough estimation of travel budget before your journey. This is an example of the travel budget and items check list that I had made before going to China. 

Budget plan for 2 weeks:
10nights in hostel: RM70 X 10 = RM700
HK Disneyland: RM 160
Transport RM 300 + RM430(flight)
Makan: RM240
Emergency: RM400                                           TOTAL: RM2230

Let me stress here, the budget for emergency is really important.  Yes, I already included the “emergency money” in my budget plan, but I didn’t have enough cash at that time so I thought it was okay kot since I already covered for the important ones. At the end of the day I have to borrow some money from my friends (same amount of money for emergency). So guys, make a plan and follow that plan!!!
                                             
                                              Items check list: Winter 
                                              Visa to China: DONE
                                              Rations (cereal, nutella, 3in1, maggi, energy bars): DONE
                                              Jacket, sweater, adidas (kasut), snow cap, gloves: DONE
                                              5 shirts, 1 jeans, 1 cargo, 1 ¾, kain pelikat: DONE
                                              Camera, video cam: DONE
                                              Money: DONE

Another thing that I forgot to mention is, try to find one universal power adapter whenever travelling overseas. Just in case if you want to charge your mobile phone, laptops and cameras it will be much easier.

Going travelling to other countries we will meet many friendly locals, backpackers and also hostel receptionist. If you want to make your journey more memorable, don’t hesitate to take pictures with those people that you met. Later ask for their emails or address, so that you can send the pictures to them I’m pretty sure they’ll be very excited. That’s the simple way we can do to spread happiness in this world.
