Asian Excursions

One place I've always wanted to travel to, but never had the chance, is Asia. China, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand...they all seem like such intriguing places to visit.

On Peter Greenberg's site, there are several articles that delve into Asian tourism. Check out the Off the Brochure pieces on Beijing, Tokyo and Bangkok for the inside scoop on what to do and where to go in these cities.

For the foodie traveler, check out Noodling Around Asia: Culinary Vacations in the East. Learn what and where to eat, and the dishes that you just have to try when you're abroad.

Read David DeVoss's musings on Hong Kong in his article "A 'Belonger' Looks Back at Hong Kong as its Capitalist Heart Beats On". Read about how Hong Kong has changed since its return to China, from the perspective of someone who lived there for five years as a correspondent for Time magazine.

After reading all these Asian-inspired articles, my desire to visit these far-off lands has only increased. Hopefully I will get there someday soon!
