itinerary & some scrambled eggs

Ok, first big problem: Dutch or English? Nederlands of Engels? Damn, verdomme, ‘t begint al goed.
I think roughly 95% of my readers will be ok with English. De andere 5%, maar daarom niet minder belangrijk, zal er nog minder percent van verstaan en hebben er ronduit geen reet aan.
Then on the other side, about 70% will be ok with Dutch and it’s my mothertongue, so I can express myself slightly better and it will be good to maintain my feeling to Dutch….But that other 30% doesn’t understand Dutch at all!

Solution/oplossing: I will use both and you, dear reader, use online translators if necessary. Maybe you won’t catch some expressions, slang or metaphoric use of language with these tools, but you will understand the big lines, right?
So, here’s one or choose your own if you know some better: The notorious Babelfish (Vertaler Nederlands <-> Engels, English <-> Dutch)

As for the itinerary, I’ve made a map with some rough lines. I don’t take them for granted though. In a year, a lot can happen.
Also will depend on my work. If I have a nice job to do for one of my clients, I’ll search for a nice place to rent with decent connection and stay close until it’s done.
And of course, when you travel alone, you meet people and hook up…so much will be decided by fate also.

Take off: 9 nov, Dusseldorf -> 10 nov, Bangkok (Krung Thep) and then southwards to Malaysia.

Ok, here’s the map, click it:
