Which country / where do you want to travel to after the pandemic? (compiled)

[Guest You know what I meant?]

It is always good to plan 10 years ahead of your travelling.

[Steve5380]

I am not itching for traveling anytime soon.

 

Here in America the situation is improving rapidly and one sees a big rush to enjoy summertime travel.  It seems that a majority of the population have been feeling like caged wild animals.  Any reservations not made far in advance will be expensive.  In vacation resorts, houses for rent, some hotels are getting expensive.  Rental cars have prices out of sight.  Big crowds, big noise, big everything.

 

I have never felt caged, and in fact, I have grown to enjoy my quiet life at home.  I doubt that I will do any travel this year, and come 2022 I might take some vacations off-season.  And with my sister coming to stay with me for a while,  I can see us traveling together to our country and to Europe.   Maybe I will do some of my personal tourism back to Thailand,  a stop in SG is not out of the question,  or maybe some of the other interesting cities in S.E. Asia.  

 

I am in no rush.  I can get off from work anytime, I have no little children to take care of,  not even a pet to worry about

Plan your travels instead. If you had the choice - and the cash, where would you like to go?

[lonelyglobe]

Ya lets get back to the tpoic before GM close this thread.

 

Really not sure when can normal travel come back,  even a JB seems so near yet so far and with the new wave in both SG and Malaysia,  doesnt look good for this year.

Like you,  I also have little idea about the reasons of the fuss going on, but I have decided to get out of it.  Let fussy dogs bark! 

Hopefully your Phase 2 ends soon and instead of getting dizzy here you can plan your next travels to interesting destinations.

I am not going anywhere, be it Phase 1 to Phase 10 because I don't belong to the pandemic world.  I am happy living in my own world, surrounded by Daisy, roses, llily and wild berries in my backyard while I sat comfortably on my swing bed, with no human noise except my loyal basengi napping beside me, as I sipped my cool latte and reading "The Hobbit" to my Norwegian Brown cat.   Not caring much about the fucked up world today.

 

Now, I hope my lifestyle serves as a reference for both of you to stop kicking cans and spilling milk all over the places in this forum.

 

It is getting dark now, I am back to lighting my candle and making some delicious scone for tea tonight. 

 

Oh, one last thing.  Please don't answer me because I simply....

 

DON'T CARE!

Like you,  I am also happy in my cozy refuge, only stepping into the world to go to the gym and the grocery store.

 

I was not going to answer you,  but then I see your "Sky is Spinning" and I must comment that instead of seeing the sky spinning like they did in the antiquity, you can remember that it's we on earth who spin around its axis each day and around the sun each year.

Hopefully, once the whole covid lockdown is over.  Taiwan first probably. Else wherever work brings me

Stay safe everyone.

As written in response to the similar point made in another post, I will gladly have a much longer holiday. Over four months I have asked the moderators no less than FIVE times to have my name deleted as a member. I know of no reason why this has not been done.

You have better do a hara Kiri instead of making someone hands dirty. Thereafter we will pronounce your quiet passing and then promise us not to return as "something else" to haunt us in this forum because you are not wrongfully murdered by the mod. You 'died' unnaturally.

You can see baobab trees in the Flower Dome, in Gardens by the Bay, if you are in Singapore.

They are not artificial, but real living trees. The originals may have died long away (unless they are olive trees maybe). What you see, regardless of locality, are their offsprings.

Baobab trees are endemic to regions like Madagascar, not Spore. This is as close to seeing the originals/ancestral, figuratively speaking. Even the supertrees in GBTBay looked similar to baobabs. The designers knew how unique these trees were.

Can go travel only in future only if you can stay alive! Stay at home for safety. Now got deadly india virus and france virus.

[connortem]

Although I have many places in Asia on my list, I doubt that my trips will happen soon. At least because this whole story will last a long time, I mean the covid crisis. The more so because Asian countries have stringent morbidity control now and consequently the foreigners. You can't take a rest there. I have hopes for Europe; I think it'll be the first to restore the former regime. I even made a plan for a train trip to Europe. My priority goals are in Central Europe - Germany, Switzerland, and France. I wouldn't plan a route without dbauskunft.net, although the railroad system in these countries has good navigation.

Japan, Taiwan and Australia for the sauna. I'm such a beginner and before I'm "expiring" also :(

[DrKartist]

Taiwan and Egypt 

[Guest SuckerQueen]

Where also cannot go, everywhere people infected and their sperm has covid virus.  How to suck?

[Guest Trinity]

I want to go to Bali

[JoshuaDickens]

Being trapped in the house for a long time can't wait to get out in the world and start reexploring. A country that has been on my waiting list is Estonia and I finally made the courage to go there. After some research, I discovered this site https://www.africanjacana.com/estonia/ with all the information I needed, after I read the article I booked my ticket and the place where I was going to stay. Now I just wait for the big day and I am so nervous like I'm going to travel for the first time.

1. Japan - I simply missed Japan

2. New Zealand - The country which I always want to go but not yet have the chance to go

[Mssg-exchange]

Japan 

[nate42]

On the short-term, any place would be a good respite. HK, BKK, Taiwan, Japan. 

 

Once the endemic settles...a self-drive holiday in the USA.  Taking the 101 S Highway from San Francisco, Carmel, Pebble Beach, then head East towards Las Vegas, back toward San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and end at San Diego.   

 

Yup...itinerary already planned! 😂

Definitely, like the current germany trip cost more than 30% as compare to pre-covid. Not only money issue but the hassle one have to go through with the immigration. 

[bradlee]

actually b4 covid i have the intention of quitting my job and travel full time for a year backpacking

[jljh88]

Anywhere with nice beaches. Feel like going a nudist beach to just chill.

When our cases hit 5000 per day, which country will still dare to let us visit them?

Bangkok to have a grand feast of Thai sausages ... oh how I miss those gorgeous Thai men with big fat cocks.

Yup, happening already .... CDC now telling Americans not to come to Singapore, next time tell Singaporeans not to go there soon. Thanks to the Delta variant! 

 

US raises Covid-19 danger level in Hong Kong and Singapore, United States News & Top Stories - The Straits Times 

 

WASHINGTON (BLOOMBERG) - The United States on Monday (Sept 27) said trips to Singapore and Hong Kong have become more dangerous because of the coronavirus, raising its travel health advice for the Asian financial hubs by one level.

 

The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said anyone who has not been vaccinated should avoid non-essential trips to Singapore, citing a "high level" of Covid-19.

 

"All travellers may be at risk for getting and spreading Covid-19 variants," the CDC said, increasing its travel advice for Singapore by one notch to level 3.

 

 

 

 

 

Travel some more?

Nice,  hope more countries follow the ban especially those countries that got the MU variant. Germany and Brunei are coming and Sporean are visiting mask-free Europe, let's hope they don't bring back some "souvenir" for us.

 

But curious,  why HK? They are well controlled with single digit case,  if HK not safe,  then there is no country safe in this world.

at my age we throw caution to the wind ... my motto is live and let die!  anyway there is always Prep to protect from AIDS.  Other STDs can easily be treated.  But in my over 40 years of sexventure, I have not contracted any disease, not even once.

Japan! And maybe Korea. Never travel more than Asia Pacific :(

Good question and this is the answer: US CDC admits it raised Hong Kong's Covid-19 risk rating in error , United States News & Top Stories - The Straits Times

 

HONG KONG (BLOOMBERG) - The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it mistakenly flagged Hong Kong as a growing risk for coronavirus when it raised its travel warnings for the city and Singapore earlier this week. 

 

Hong Kong’s increase was done unintentionally, the agency said on Tuesday (Sept 28). 

 

The city’s status has returned to Level 1, indicating a low risk, on the CDC’s website, a spokesman said. The level is the lowest of the agency's four-tiered travel health notice system. 

Singapore remains at a Level 3 after its risk rating was raised this week by the CDC amid the largest outbreak the South-east Asian city-state has experienced since the pandemic began.  Anyone who has not been vaccinated should avoid non-essential trips to Singapore given its “high level” of Covid-19, according to the agency.

[lonelyglobe]

Yeap,  both HK and Taiwan are in level 1, HK must be "heng ah", burst the travel bubble with SG, otherwise everyday got to worry covid potential sporean entering their well-guarded fortress and hongkonger bringing back the delta souvenir after visiting SG.

[Guest HK Covid]

One of my friends working in HK had loss of smell and taste but was otherwise well. He tried to get tested but was turned away because he has no fever. So go figure why HK only about 12,000 cases but 300 deaths, compared to us 10x more cases but less death.

[superflawless]

If he wasn't officially tested, then how can he confirmed he was once suffering from Covid-19 or it's variants?

[Guest HK Covid]

Loss of smell is almost pathognomonic of COVID. It goes to show HK just don’t test enough, or knowingly under report cases, compared to us kiasu government test everyone even asymptomatic ones, some more test sewage system and then proceed to mandatory test the few HDB blocks residents to pick up cases.

The pandemic has changed my life very much. I lost my job and didn't have any savings in the very beginning. In such a situation, I had no choice but to find a remote job. I mastered some techniques for creating websites and subsequently completely changed my profession. Now I work remotely, which allows me to travel around the world. Of course, I save and even use discounts with https://hoopladoopla.com/category/travel. But now my life is much more interesting and enjoyable than before.

@Juamanix

So sorry to hear of your predicament. You're not alone.

 

My friend, a grad and with a toddler kid, was jobless for 2 years. For those 2 years he was doing Safe Entry and temperature taking at an education institution. 

 

He finally found a job recently after sending in countless applications, and attending numerous zoom interviews.

 

I do hope you'll find a full time job soon. Don't give up and don't look down.

 

Better days will surely come. Just hang in there. Jia you!!

Remote job as in a non office job?
