I am fortunate to be located within the Asia Pacific region. Asia always exude a mystic for people from the west - its so diversed across the various regions.
In the northern Asia region, you have the vast land of China, the ever so polictically interesting Taiwan and the exciting city of Hong Kong (where there is yummy yummy dim sum and Hong Kong Disneyland!). Taiwanese people are extremely friendly and hospitable - at least from my experience when I was there. Hong Kong? Never go there without experiencing eating at local cafe (cha chan tang) - my favourite local food includes the cheong fan (made of steamed rice flour with different fillings) and chinese porridge.
Southeast Asia is very ethnic. I am a Singaporean myself - a land known to be filled with food loving beings (with an equally deep love for shopping) and a cultural melting pot. You get a lot of beautiful resorts in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. I love Thai food and Indonesia food. If you ever come to Singapore and want to try Thai and Indonesia food - go to Bali Thai - they serve great Thai and Indonesian food!
As for the Indo-China region, I have only been to Cambodia so far to visit the world famous Angkor Wat - an amazing sight which leaves you speechless and awed. How can such an astounding place be left forgotten and buried in forest for hundreds of years - its simply mind boggling! And I have one of the most memorable food moments in Cambodia - where you can get a mix of Cambodia, Thai and Vietnamese food (and French too as it used to be a French colony).
I am planning my first trip to Vietnam soon and can't wait to go ...rice paper roll and Vietnamese beef noodle...I'm coming!
Oh, if you are looking for great travel deals, here's one not to be missed!
