I have had a few trips to Asia and it seems to be there are some accommodation that is very affordable, food is cheap and local transport is very inexpensive. There can be lots of adventure and the people seem friendly. So far I have been to Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, the Maldives, Israel and Jordan. The Maldives was pricey but all the other countries were a bargain to travel in. In the future I hope to visit the Philippines to go island hopping and snorkeling. I would like to go overland through Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. I would really like to visit China. It would be lovely if I could go to Sri Lanka. Do you think Asia is a bargain for traveling? Have you been there? If so where? If not would you like to?

Asia is indeed a bargain for traveling... for one thing flights going to a lot of Asian countries are cheap... and hotels are very affordable... you can shop till you drop and have more money left... i so hope you can go to the Philippines one day... there are a lot of beautiful places to explore and the Filipino people are quite friendly...

Hello maximax. Though I have not been abroad, I get to know from some of my friends who have been abroad to foreign countries that it is usually much more expensive to travel to Europe than to travel in Asia. I think that one of the major reasons is that Europe is developed while Asia is still developing. So Asia is a bargain for traveling. You agree with this view, please? Happy traveling, my dear friend.

Hi Maxima. I am originally from Sri Lanka and now residing in USA. I have travelled widely in Sri Lanka and I am proud to mention that its probably one of the most fascinating destinations to travel to and get best value for the money you spend. There's the beautiful beaches all around this Island, clean seas, majestic mountains in the hill country, lots of rivers, lakes, water-falls, etc. Ancient Historical sites dating back 2000 - 2500 years, Wild life reservations with elephants and leopards, Tea plantations and some of the greatest hotels you will find in the world. But most of all, its the courtesy and friendly nature of the people in this country that will make your stay most pleasant. Let me know if you are interested in traveling to Sri Lanka at any time soon and I shall arrange you a great tour whereby you will be able to see and experience most of these places. I have the experience in arranging tours in Sri Lanka and have very close contacts with the best Travel Agents and Hotels there - and can arange great and memorable tour for you. Give me your email addres so that I can communicate with you on this matter privately.
