I think your extended Asia tour sounds the most interesting.  Your dollar will go far and you can get some suits made for very little.  Holiday in Cambodia and all of that stuff.

I forgot about that part. In an earlier trip to Thailand, I met a bunch of wealthy Price Waterhouse guys, and I asked them who was the best tailor in town. They directed me to a guy who I immediately bought two suits from (at about $150 each, and completed in 2 days!). I stayed in touch with him via email and then he came over to the US several times in subsequent years and I had 'suit' parties where my buddies came over, we drank bourbon, smoked cigars and listened to Frank, while selecting fabrics, choosing styles and getting measured. It was the perfect combination of manly-man and totally gay.
 
 If you do go over, get yourself some suits (hot tip: a tailored tux is the greatest thing to own) and then just mail them home. So totally worth it.

What do you do that you need to own a tailored tux? Do you show dogs in dog shows?
 
 I haven't worn a tux since junior prom 25 years ago.

when i was in thailand 4 years ago i had two suits made, and they're by far the favorite suits i've ever owned
 
 getting a new bespoke wardrobe is definitely one of the reasons i'd like to go back ... and good call on the tux

According to babelfish, econo just said that Hoya's mother blows goats for a quarter.

How about a joint and can of Kodiak?
 
 As for when I use the tux, I certainly don't pull it out that often, but a few times a year I go to a banquet or some kind of formal affair/dinner. I also wore it into work once last year, just for the hell of it.

I'm impressed.  Babelfish is good for context and not specifics.  However, this time it was spot on!

 When you get back and you don't have the opportunity to speak it often, it will go out of your head as quickly as you put it in.
that's what i always hear, but i think i want to live in sweden... when i'm an adult and stuff. it's especially useless beause they're all taught english in school, but i wanna know it, i wanna be in! it won't be that hard, someone told me there are only 20,000 words, and someone else told me that after your third one languages are a breeze.
 
 p.s. i think that thing about hot swedes is a myth, it's hit or miss most of the time. when they're hot it's amazing, but that's rare and most of the time there's some exaggerated feature like huge teeth or a fivehead that ruins the rest of the face. hot bods though.

I was nearly arrested for public drooling in my only visit to Stockholm.
 
 And they were the worst group to hang out with at the World Cup as well:
