why would it cost a ton of money? I went to japan, china, and thailand, for 3 weeks back in '05, a total of 9 plane flights, 19 nights in 4 star hotels(which are about $20-30 a night over there) split 5 ways and it was only $1,600 including lots of sight seeing things that weren't necessary (we planed and saved for a whole year). you could do a much less elaborate trip for under a grand easily. Eating is dirt cheap, taxis are dirt cheap, living is dirt cheap.
