Best way to travel round asia?
Just pick a route and your travel agent will be able to help you with the itinerary. In some cases you will need a visa but this can be arranged through you travel agent. (Trailfinders are good, btw) Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam Sri Lanki, Maldives India (aspecially, New Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) plus Nepal Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei The above are good combinations. I've been to almost every country in central and east Asia apart from Laos, Taiwan, Mongolia. You don't say how long you are planning to go but you could do 3 countries in 2 weeks. Japan, Korea, Hong Kong are expensive. Best to avoid if you are on a budget.
If you got the chance to travel for free to 5 countries, which countries would you choose?
United States of AmericaI have been in the US for almost a decade and have made many friends and traveled a few places. It was vastly disappointing when I had to leave the country due to visa restrictions, but I cannot wait to go back. I have lived in Arizona and Illinois and I really miss the life, landscapes and people there. So there is no doubt if I had a chance to travel there for free, I would hop on to the next flight lol.2. CanadaI have been thinking about immigrating to Canada for a while. It is a land blessed with natural beauty, vast open spaces and friendly people. If I could go there, it will be easier to visit the US too since they are neighboring countries. I hope I get a chance to visit both the places soon :)3. New ZealandI have been hearing about the natural beauty of New Zealand for a while and it is definitely one of the places on my travel list. If I could get a chance to live there, it will be awesome :)4. GreenlandGreenland is actually not a country, but a part of Denmark. But given its sheer size and isolation, it could easily be thought as one. I always flew over Greenland during my trips to the US. I have always noticed its capital Godthab, or Nuuk. Its definitely a place I would like to visit.5. MongoliaI have always been interested in visiting the Asian countries. A lot of Asian countries like South Korea, Japan and many parts of China are very developed and resemble western countries in some aspects. It would be nice to visit a more traditional country like Mongolia. I have learned about the Mongol empire in my history classes and that has increased my curiosity in visiting the place. It would surely be an unique experience.There are many other countries in my wish list, but these countries definitely top the list. I hope I get a chance to visit them :)
If one had only one chance, which Asian country is the best choice to visit?
I’ve been to Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, China (Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan), South Korea, and Japan. The countries that I would like to visit someday :-India - I’ve always been fascinated by the cultures and the strong traditions that the people carry. I’ve been to China and USA, and these two countries are very big and diverse, so I’m expecting the same for this country as it has the second largest population in the world.-Iran - I love its history, architecture, and culture. I want to see those beautiful mosques in real life and get to feel the textures and materials on the buildings. I’ve never tried Iranian cuisine in my life, and I hope I will one day.-Mongolia - Particularly for the nomadic lifestyle, but I would also love to visit its capital city as I like comparing cities from different countries. To me, Mongolia is a very exotic country.-Saudi Arabia - Visiting one Arab country would complete my life and I think Saudi would be interesting as it’s known for its strict Shairah law and Wahhabist government.-Vietnam - Heard a lot about it and it seems like an interesting place to visit. I’m imagining myself eating on the corner of the street in Hanoi while sitting on a tiny chair or relaxing at a water village in Ha Long Bay. There’s so much romanticism in my mind.-Japan - I’ve been to Japan before and I love it, but I haven’t visited Hokkaido and Okinawa. I heard a lot about Hokkaido and it seems to be known for its cold weather. I hope I can get to meet the Ainu people in Hokkaido. As for Okinawa, it is one of the last regions in Japan to join the country (It was an empire of its own called Ryuku). Because of this, its culture is quite unique compared to the rest of Japan.-China - I’ve been to many places in China, but I really want to visit Tibet (For its exotic culture.), Fujian (My Hokkien ancestors came from there.), and Xi’an (Fascinating fortress, pagoda, one of the oldest Tao temples, and a little blend of exotic Muslim culture.).-Nepal - What I like about Nepal, compared to India, is the absence of Persian/Turkic influence. As the result, it retains more purity of its culture than the Indian ones. I also heard the architectural style that is commonly found in Nepal is becoming rare in India.
You have 3 months to travel anywhere in the world on a somewhat limited budget. Where do you go, stay and what do you do?
The hardest part about this question is that there are numerous places in the world that you could spend 3 months on a budget.
