Travelling around Asian countries, been there, done that, didnt like it !   

food poisoning, ecoli in the water, no one speaks english well, always tropically hot as hell and u sweat all day every day, everyone looks at u strangely, and u miss home really quickly. dont get me wrong, the people are friendly etc, but it aint for a second as great as good old Australia.  Travelling Asia for a week is fun, the first time, after that its all down hill. Espescially if u get sick or need medical help, u better have lots of cash or a angel on the phone from the Medical Insurance company, or you end up in a living hell.

The golfing trip sounds like a good proposition for a younger person who is single without wife n kids.  Give it a go Daz if u havent been to Asia before, but I reckon after a fortnight you will be missing home real bad. I did.
