# From Pacific islands to China/Korea/Japan? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
aki2006 16:06 UTC 22 Feb 2012 | Hi everyone, I'll probably visit some of the Pacific islands this summer (haven't decided yet which ones) and would afterwards go to North Korea for the mass games (leaving from Beijing) in September and combine this with South Korea and Japan. Does anybody have any smart ideas from which Pacific island(s) it would be easy/cheap to fly one way to Beijing, Seoul or anywhere in Japan? Any help is greatly appreciated. |
