Travelling

A mate of mine is going to go travelling next year, starting sometime in April. Here's where he's going and how long he's planning to stay in each place (in order) :

India (4-6 weeks)
Thailand (2-4 weeks)
Cambodia (1-2 weeks)
Laos (1-2 weeks)
Vietnam (1-2 weeks)
China (3-4 weeks)
Japan (2-3 weeks)

Australia (3-4 weeks) (He plans to spend New Year in Sydney, maybe fly back from New Zealand)
New Zealand (3-6 weeks)

3 months in South America going to:

Chile
Argentina
Brazil
Paraguay
Bolivia
Peru
Ecuador

I'm planning to go with him. Initially I was going to see him in Peru for a couple of weeks holiday. Then I figured I might as well do the whole of South America with him. Then I realised I'd have to quit my job to do this so I might as well go to Australia and New Zealand with him as well.

Thing is I've done some reading up on Asia and a lot of that seems cool too. Especially China. His route would take him to the Terracotta Army (in Xiang I think it is) and Beijing where we could see the Great Wall. Only problem there is I've been to Japan before (where he's going next). That plus the fact that Japan's very expensive makes me not too keen to go again. Though I might just go to Australia for those 3 weeks and meet him there later. He's been to Australia before so I could do the bits he's already done during that time.

The earlier countries seem cool too though. I don't really fancy 4 or more weeks in India but I could meet him in Thailand and go on from there.

I have enough money and nothing really to tie me here (my job is shit, I would be looking for a new one if I wasn't planning to go travelling) but I'm just not sure if I could handle travelling for so many months.

Anyway, I was wondering if any of you have any experience with these countries or travelling in general. Also if you think there could be some improvements to the itinerary, I might be able to persuade my mate to change his plans.

And oh yeah, after Ecuador I'm planning to head to the US and go to San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas. My mate doesn't want to come with me but I think it's worth doing while I'm in the neighbourhood.
