My husband and I have traveled mainly in South and Central America but we
are ready for a change and would like to plan a trip to Thailand/Vietnam and
Cambodia in June.   I am not familiar with this region of the world and

Anyone know how rough this trip can be? My wife suffers from the
sickness. ;)

Folks,
I am planning to go to Yiwu next month. My point of entry is Shanghai.
Is there train or bus service from Shanghai to Yiwu?
What is the cost of the airfare if we decide to fly between the cities?
