Exploring Asia
Asia, the largest continent on Earth
Continent: Asia
Countries: 48
Inhabitants: 4,700 million approx.
Size: 44 million km²
The Asian continent is mainly known for its many temples, its rich cuisine and for not being an expensive travel destination once you're there.
My first trip to Asia was Malaysia, but of course I plan to go back. Maybe the next trip will be to... Japan? Singapore? South Korea?

Where is the best place to eat?
1. China
Its cuisine goes far beyond spring rolls and fried rice (which I love). It's true that some of its dishes are questionable, but it has plenty of delicious dishes.
2. India
It may be very, very spicy, but some sauces with naan, samosas, tandoori and masala spice blends and other typical Indian dishes are delicious.
3. Japan
The land of sushi (but also of wasabi...). My mouth is watering just thinking about eating tempura, a bowl of ramen and mochis for dessert.
Top 3 favourite destinations
Of all the places I have visited in Asia to date, I would highlight the following three:
Langkawi
A Malay archipelago full of greenery, white sandy beaches and monkeys.
A perfect place to relax and/or book a boat tour to discover the various islands and beaches in the area.
Kuala Lumpur
The capital of Malaysia and home to the Petronas Towers. In addition, the "Batu Caves" are located very close to the city.
Perfect if you want to go shopping!
Cameron Highlands
This mountainous Malaysian territory is covered with green tea plantations and farms of various types.
If you prefer the mountains to the beach or a bit of both, visit this place!
