Amazing Travel in Asia

by Catherine Willis

The Philippines is a beautiful country made up of 7,107 islands. This country, while it may have its flaws, is famous for its sprawling beaches and hospitable people. It is a great vacation spot for those who want to take a break from it all, without sacrificing modern conveniences.

Indonesia, on the other hand, is also home to the most sought-after of beaches. Bali, Indonesia is a well-known destination for Hollywood celebrities. The pristine waters and magical landscape dotted by Buddhist temple ruins beckon the weary traveler. Vacations in Indonesia may be less comfortable than in more technologically beefed-up countries for the wired traveler who constantly needs an umbilical cord to the World Wide Web, but isn’t the lack of the calls of the office just so worth the lack of widespread WiFi?

Malaysia is also a must-see for the cosmopolitan traveler. While the Philippines already has adequate facilities, trust Malaysia to be a lot more advanced. With its economy growing at a steady pace, Malaysia offers an excellent balance of the Southeast Asian culture while offering the best of Western amenities. Trust that vacations in Malaysia would suit your needs for modern comfort.

Hong Kong is probably the fashionista or the tech geek’s paradise. Maybe it’s the waterloo for those who are on their way to recovery from a shopping addiction. Maybe Hong Kong would be your undoing if you are following the 12 steps to no longer spending a dime over $1000 in one day. But if you cut all your shopping sprees for a year, holding out for a vacation to Hong Kong, who knows, you may well be saving much on things you would have bought for higher prices at home.

Thailand has increasingly reinvented itself from the usual poverty-ridden country to be labeled as one of the top 10 countries to travel to, according to Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards 2007. Thailand is a great mix of Buddhist architecture, mixed tastefully side by side with modern establishments.

As you can see, Asia is one continent that you must see, at least once in your lifetime. It is a collection of lands that have gentle peoples, exotic cultures, and growing economies. As a vacation buff, you definitely need to see these sights and lands before you pass on to Heaven.

The secret to properly visiting Asia would lie in how you research beforehand. You have to know how the people in your target country behaves. You have to understand how not to offend the cultures you visit, as well as how to guard yourself from endemic pests like mosquitoes. When you plan well, vacations to Asia would be one of the most memorable experiences you could ever have. After you find out how to properly eat the noodles in Hong Kong, or the street food in the Philippines, you may well just sit back in your Bali beach lounge chair, and enjoy a plate of juicy, succulent mangoes.
