You guys said SE Asia is cheap. Even though India is South and not SE, would traveling costs be similar? And what would you think of India as an option in general?
I figure a lot of parts of India are slummy, right? But I think Hinduism is kind of cool and there would be lots of cool destinations there. Maybe I could get into Tibet and/or Nepal too?
Whatever anyone knows about safety, cost, etc would be much appreciated.

Just bite the bullet and buy a ticket. You've spent nearly 3 weeks going round in circles. Once you buy your ticket, your locked in. Work everything around that.

Ya I circle jerk myself until I have a date set in stone. Than I can focus and plan out everything that needs to be taken care of once its set.

Yes, SE Asia is cheap, but so is India. Even a private hotel can be found for $30 a night.
Obviously if you choose India, never drink tap water there, only bottled.
But yes, India is EXTREMELY slummy. It's filthy, and disgusting. People take a dump literally on the ground, squatting, right outside the Taj Mahal. That's the kind of sanitary condition we're talking about.
Not only that, but some people who can't afford toilet paper will wipe with their left hand when they go to the bathroom. For this reason, it is considered very inappropriate and rude to shake with your left hand or touch people with your left hand.
Just be aware, some of these countries due to religious reasons also have some strict laws. For example, in India you cannot stay in a hotel with a girl unless you two are married.
I don't know how strictly this is enforced by hotel staff. Just saying, if you spend the night with a girl one night or something, and they ask if you two are married, just lie and say yes.

That is rich coming from a country with a raging rape culture. Fuck India. It is literally an overpopulated shit hole full of rapists.

Haha you're right though, it does seem like I'm being spoonfed. I've just been daydreaming about it a lot lately and like to talk it out on here.

Got the equipment necessary to stay out in the woods for a time if need be, but depending on when I can meet up with some people I might see if I can get myself a single-room occupancy apartment and if necessary a Day Labor job, that way I can have somewhere warm to stay over the winter cuz idk if I'm mentally prepared to spend the whole winter out in the Colorado wilderness
I'm glad you guys revived this thread. He OMJ, how goes it?
