Asia bus & rail

Train & bus travel is a great way to see Asia on the cheap. Whether it's China on the Trans-Siberian Railway or Dragon Bus, or Japan & South Korea with a Japan or Korea rail pass, simply book your seat and make tracks.
A Japan rail pass is a great way to travel independently around this country of contradictions there are a range of pass types and regions to choose from to suit your travel plans.  Vodkatrain is the original train journey across Siberia and Mongolia, also check out their branch new journey from Russia through Kazakstan & Uzbekistan or even travel the length of Vietnam by rail.  Dragon bus is a truly unique bus experience for anyone who would like see China is the most affordable and fun way.  It is truly the best way to see China and it also offers hop-on-hop-off bus passes if you'd like to explore China on your own.  Just like travelling in Japan, Korea also has the equivalent of the former and it's called the Korea rail pass (also known as Korail). Travel with the Korail and who knows you might meet your "oppa" on the train!
