Du lịch Tây tạng hè 2007

TTVNOL đang ngon - tranh thủ - tranh thủ.
Em đồng ý với ý kiến của bác Johnie, quan trọng nhất là đi vào lúc nào mà ta có thể thưởng thức được cái bản sắc của vùng mà chúng ta đến - Bạn em nói, đi mùa cao điểm, đến chỉ ngắm người -> thế thì sẽ... rất tệ. Tây Tạng đang là 1 trong những điểm đến rất hút khách của giới trẻ TQ.
- Em đọc trên 1 số bài viết thấy nói: - cấm ko được mang
Tất nhiên, ta không thể nào bỏ dừng cái sự sung sướng này được.

Mightyman ơi, đi đầu tháng 6 đi em! Trời tháng 7 mưa lắm không nhìn thấy gì đâu
mình đang có 3 tập DVD mêkông ký sự phần trên đất Trung quốc, ai cần xem mình có thể burn miễn phí
Được avn sửa chữa / chuyển vào 09:07 ngày 03/04/2007

Chương trình hay quá đi mất các bác ơi!
Em máu lắm nhưng lấy đâu ra nhiều thời gian thế cơ chứ. Chẳng nhẽ lại xin nghỉ làm àh.........................

Nếu bạn muốn kết thúc chuyến đi sau hai tuần, bạn có thể bỏ qua thời gian ở chengdu. vé máy bay về kunming daily và có thể đặt trước.

Dạ, nếu đi như vậy thì tổng thiệt hại sẽ là khoảng bao nhiêu?
Các bác vẫn quyết định lên đường vào đầu tháng 6 ạ?

Chắc chắn bọn mình sẽ có một nhóm đi cuối T5, có thể có nhóm đi cuối T6. Về chi phí thì bạn xem trong lịch trình mình gửi ở trên để tham khảo nhé!

Em vừa nhác thấy chắn chắn cuối tháng 5, đang tự an ủi mình: thôi thế thì đằng nào cũng noway, k phải lăn tăn gì nhá. Giờ thấy có cơ hội có đoàn cuối tháng 6, lại hí hửng mà vắt tay lên trán nghĩ vụ đầu tiên.
Cám ơn bác nhiều nhá.

Hey, nếu nhiệt tình thì liên lạc với mightyman. cậu ấy cũng không đi cuối T5 đươc. Về cơ bản đi tibet không cần đông người quá, nên đủ để trao đổi thông tin và quan trọng nhất là share 4WD. Tối ưu là bội số của 4. Điều này rất quan trọng vì tiết kiệm được khoản rất lớn

Bác AVN nói chí lý -
Trong lúc chưa có được 1 kế hoạch hoàn chỉnh - em cứ lo luyện tập để có sức khoẻ và gom xiền đã. Có sức khoẻ và có xiền -> thời gian có thể sắp xếp được.
Em ko đi được vào cuối tháng 5 rồi. Các bác đi trước nhớ giữ lại hết tư liệu, tài liệu tham khảo............. nhé. RẤT HỮU ÍCH cho những người đi sau như chúng em.
Cuối tháng 6 em sẽ đi.
