So now that I’m unable to obtain a Russian visa in time, I’ve decided on a new travel itinerary. Instead of Russia, I’ll spend a few days in S Korea instead. Now the plan is:
Northern India for 10 days
Kerala for a month
Sabah for 10 days
Sarawak for 10 days
Korea for 10 days
Back to UB for a day or two
Then flight back to the US
Still somewhat ambitious, but should be fun, hopefully!
