$5000 to spend on HK, China, Thailand, Singapore, etc

guestburea1124 Hello,

I'm a 22 year-old Korean-American who just graduated from college and am planning my graduation trip with $5,000.
My first destination is Hong Kong where my girlfriend is.

Here's my A-list of places that I definitely want to visit:

Hong Kong
Beijing
Shanghai
Thailand (Bangkok?)
Singapore

If I have money, I hope to visit this B-list of places:

Taipei
Phuket
Macau
Tokyo
Seoul

Q #1: How plausible is it for me to travel around these places with $5,000?
I hope to go clubbing for 1-2 days in HK, Beijing and Shanghai as well.

Q #2: I also want to go bungee jumping but Macau's tower's $300 bungee jumping experience seems over-priced to me ... any opinions? I feel like I can travel so much with $300 instead of just blowing it on a quick experience of bungee jumping.
Considering that I pay around $1300~$1500 for my flight from NY to HK, so I hope to have around $3,500 from HK.

Q #3: And can anybody tell me about Multi-city trip tickets? I hear they are a great way to fly to different places.

Q #4: Am I paying too much for hotel in Hong Kong, $100/night?

Thank you so much

TB

P.S.
I plan to travel from late July to September. If anybody needs a traveling buddy, please reply! I speak Korean, Japanese and English.

P.S 2
Please tell me good food places and other great places for young people to visit!

Macau is so close to Hong Kong. Why don't you make a side trip to it from Hong Kong. One day is enough.
Yeah, I think $100/night for a hotel is a little expensive.
