1. Full Moon Party

Get ready to RAGE. It's like Ibiza and Project X had a baby. This all night beach party is full of fire, neon, paint, and buckets on buckets on buckets of alcohol (literally buckets). It occurs every month around the full moon (hence the name...)

Disclaimer: mix your own alcohol bucket...or else err'body on da beach gettin' TiPsYyYy

2. It's CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP!

New shirt: $4

Dinner: $3

Beer: $1

Trip to Southeast Asia: Priceless (but seriously it is because everything is CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP)

Get your bartering skillz ready because shop owners love to haggle.

3. Fruit

Rambutan, mango, and dragon fruit oh my!

The fruit in Southeast Asia is the nectar of the Gods. Every bite of the sweet, sweet deliciousness is like a sexual adventure for your taste buds.

Beware: Durians ^^^. They smell like death and you'll either love it or hate it. But most likely hate it.

4. Infinity Pools

Located on level 57 of Marina Bay Sands in Singapore; you are actually on top of the world. Buzz Lightyear status, "to infinity and beyond."

5. Hawker Stands (aka Foodie Heaven)

It's like a mall. But instead of clothes and accessories there is just SO MUCH FOOD. These (usually) open air food courts are located all over Singapore and meals are generally under $5 SGD (cheap, cheap, cheap!)

Gorge on Asian Fusion delicacies like chili crab, satay, rojak, Milo dinosaur, and the Singaporean comfort food chicken rice (rice soaked in chicken fat yummm). It's all so drool worthy.

Google Image Singaporean food. You won't regret it.

6. Hello Kitty Town (duh)

7. Knock Offs

FakeFace (North Face), Aquaria (Aquafina), fake designer purses, whole TV seasons for $1, the list goes on and on. Go to any Southeast Asian country (besides Mr. Strict Singapore) and you can LITERALLY find everything and anything fake.

8. Corn Cups

Corn cups aren't just a way of life, they are an obsession.

Especially in Hanoi. Have a bite of this bun cha (vermicelli with grilled pork) and a little piece of your soul will turn to gold.

You never know what you're eating but it tastes delish so just cross your fingers and dig in!

12. Vietnamese Iced Coffee

Forget Dunkins because this coffee is love in a glass.

The secret is sweetened condensed milk shhhhhh....

13. Koh Tao

This tiny, often bypassed island is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Ko Pha Ngan (home of the Full Moon Party) and is the best hidden gem this world has to offer.

No pics can do it justice.

14. The Sunsets (especially in Thailand)

*sheds a single tear drop* *gasps* *drops dead*

Every night is a masterpiece.
