Asia and its diversity
Why is Asia so captivating?
Asia for me: Home Is Where Your ❤️ Is
Asia. Its diversity . Its people, languages, landscapes, cuisine, politics, etc. create a melting pot of what this continent has the best to offer. 👥 Asian people constitute nearly one-third of the global population. They speak almost nearly 2,300 living languages 🎤. When you travel to Asia, you can find any landscape you look for: can be divided into five major physical regions: mountains ⛰️, plateaus, plains, steppes, deserts, seas 🌊, lakes, and many more. The picture above shows the Tiger's Nest (or Paro Taktsang), a sacred Himalayan Buddhist site on the cliffside of the upper Paro Valley in Bhutan. I visited it back in 2019. Is there a better place to contemplate life? I don't think so! 😉 Asian cuisine doesn't disappoint either: Indian curry 🌶️, Chinese kung pao chicken, Indonesian satay, and Japanese sushi. The list goes on. Time to explore!
The politics of Asia also cover a whole array of phenomena: 📚 monarchies, one-party states, federal states, dependent territories, liberal democracies, and military dictatorships.
If you're interested in these and other topics, I run an IG page on Asian politics with a friend 🌐.
