Q: What is the closest to home vacation you have ever taken?

This weekend, myself and a few mates are having a weekend away. When I say away, I mean it is 40 mins away by car.

As we were arranging it, it occured to me that we are organising a weekend break in an exotic place, within spitting distance of where we all live.

My question is this. As you already live in China, does exotic travel mean flights to Vietnam etc, or places within a day of land travel? Does the definition of 'exotic' change depending on where you live?

When I was in China, the most 'egg-sotic' was Sichuan mountains known as panda's habitat not far away from Bijie, where I lived at the time.

Before I arrived to Bijie from Kaifeng, Henan, I thought that will be some exotic spot.

 

However, I rather went to Himalayas (Nepal and Himachal Pradesh, India) for vacation. Both spots are much more exotic than anywhere I was in China.

 

I missed Ho Chi Minh ....jungle, but I'll go there next, since I am in Russia and I don't like very exoticly-cold-Syberia.

 

Everywhere in China is under the developing drive and Himalaya is just a Himalaya angel till the next earthquake.

Really don’t see how you can call that area “exotic”? It’d be like my family going to Liverpool from Mabchestwr and calling that “exotic”! 

ScotsAlan:

Bet you had a holiday in Blackpool though. Or are you too posh for that?

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
