well, being of Korean descent (but American born), I've seen a pretty good part of the world, and culture shock isn't too big a thing for me. I've seen South Korea (which is, for the most part, repulsive), parts of China (Beijing, Shanghai, Qinhangdao where my father's factory is located, Xian, Guilan, and a few others - including the Terra Cotta army, which is incredible), and a bunch of the Carribean. While I'm really eager to see Southeast Asia, I think I may wait, and like guinessgirl said, go to Southeast Asia using my own money. So I guess Europe is the plan.
Now, I just need to figure out my plan of travel. I plan on landing in London, seeing a few sights, then taking a train to Paris - from there, it's either east to Amsterdam or west to Spain, and I know that I'll be seeing both, as well as Germany, Italy, and possibly Greece. It's just a matter of which way I should start my big circle. I also need to figure out where to leave from - I'm thinking Paris, because it would be the most logical stop using my Eurail pass - going back into London would be a bit expensive.
Anyway, thanks for all the advice you guys have given, and thanks in advance to anyone else who offers more.
