Australia in the 60s would be less than ossum for summer vacation.

Temperatures in the 60s is ossum anywhere, anytime.

It's not beach weather.  Timmy wants to shock some locals with his new Speedo.

I think it's time I try Europe. Leave Seoul on August 10th, depart wherever the 18th.

Berlin, Coppenhagen, Prague?

If you have only one week to visit Europe, go to Italy.

I'll definitely disagree with that. Give me low 70s.

Haven't we already had enough threads about not going to Italy in August - especially not on Aug 15 because of Ferragosto.

It's a continent, I wouldn't be surprised if it has a bit more variety than that. 
I dunno, I just remember reading once that except at higher elevations it doesn't get anywhere near as cold in the winter as it does in northern North America, Asia, and Europe.  I think that may be true of the higher latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere generally, because there are no land masses touching the polar regions.

Good point - I forgot about that. :hmm:

Maybe London then.

Can you get overnight trains (or busses) between those destinations?  If not you're going to spend a lot of your vacation time on the railroad or in an airport.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

If you want to see more than one city London-Cambridge-York-Edinburgh is quite doable by train.

I've said this before, but if you do come to the UK Tim then book those rail tickets in advance........otherwise they will cost you an arm and a leg.
