Other than the confirmed trips to Malaysia for both JCos (16-17 Nov) in JB, and Comic Fiesta (21-22 Dec) in KL.
I have no confirm vacation destinations yet, and I have roughly 14 days of annual leave to use, as I have not official taken any of it yet since started working at my this company in April this year.
But I do have many cities/countries I would love to visit, but at the moment I don't really do well with too cold of a country + might not be that much sightseeing/landscape shots during winter season.
1) Paris, France - One of my most wanted to visit cities in my list, art, romance, light! Would definitely want to visit Paris during Spring or Summer for best photo chances!
2) Moscow, Russia - Seems very cold at about -5C to -10C during Winter season, and sights might not be that good to justify the spending to travel + lodging there?
3) Seoul, Korea - As above, temperature and sights considerations.
4) Tokyo, Japan - Budget wise abit over what I am willing to spend at the moment.
5) Basically many other EU/US cities, since it's pretty easy to access travel when you are in any of the EU/US cities!
Probable destinations
1) Bangkok, Thailand - Fits the bill, but I heard there will be a company trip to BKK during Jan 2014, so I might as well make use of the company trip next year.
2) Taipei, Taiwan - Another decent choice, but not the best season to go for landscape/nature phototaking I believe. *sigh*
3) Hanoi & HCMC, Vietnam - Interested, but totally did not do any research at all.
I do have friends in cities like Moscow and Bangkok, and a further extent a few in Taipei and Seoul.
As other than landscape and travel photos + culture experience, I definitely would like to meet friends/make new friends in the city and also have the chance to collaborate with them on cosplay/portrait work.
Feel free to give me suggestions, or convince me where should I try out for vacation destinations! (if budget allows, and probably not that cold)
ps: At times I have the impulse urge to just book a ticket to say Paris (since it's ranks top my list to go), but I probably have to be abit more realistic in budget.
As in why spend the same to go for a compromised (photo chances & season) trip, when I can do it in better seasons like Spring or Summer.
But there is any special case or help from here that would make the trip easier, I'm all for it LOL!
