Traveling in ASIA in 2019 !
Our purpose in life is to discover who we truly are and what
our main goal is. In order to learn about yourself, you go to school, study,
and meet new people. Another important way of discovering yourself is through
traveling. If you remain in a single place and don’t explore, your life is
going to get very boring.
Traveling to new places can brighten up your eyes. You start
to see the world from a different perspective. The world has different
countries, religions, cultures and people. You always learn something new and
exciting by visiting a different country. Today I will be telling you about
traveling to Asia. I will also tell you about different countries in Asia and
how their religion affects their society.
1.
India
India is the land of diverse people. It is
one of the largest countries in term of population. India is very cheap for a
tourist. You can get all the tourist luxuries at a very affordable price. Indian
cuisine is very rich. Every province and city in India offers wide variety of
food. India is also home to many historical buildings like the famous Taj
Mahal. India is a place where there are about a billion people. Different
religions are practiced like Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism
and many other minor religions. Different religions divide people into highly
distinguishable groups. Every religion teaches ethical and moral values to its
followers. These set of rules bring control in the society. But with the
diversity of religion, come disadvantages as well. People are divided into groups.
Grouping prevents them from intermingling. It also provokes fights. In a big
country with different practicing religions, such conflicts are inevitable.
2.
Pakistan
It is the neighbor of India. Despite sharing
borders, these two countries don’t get along. It is mainly due to the
unpleasant history they share. Pakistan is a country known for its beauty and
culture. The people of Pakistan are very friendly. Pakistani cuisine is
enriched with different types of food and flavors. The northern areas of
Pakistan are the best place to go. The natural beauty of those areas will
surely be a treat for the eyes. There was a time when a lot of tourist used to come
to Pakistan. The terrorist crisis in Pakistan stopped tourists from coming. But
with the effort of Pakistan’s army and government, the crisis has been solved and
no major incident has been recorded in the past two years. Islam is the major
religion practiced in Pakistan. In fact, Pakistan was made in the name of
Islam. According to Islam, there is one God. Muhammad P.B.U.H. is the last
messenger of God. The believers pray five times a day and observe the holy
month of Ramadan. During this month, Muslims fast their body and soul. Islam
teaches that everyone irrespective to their age, color and gender are equal.
Due to this, people live together peacefully without any discrimination.
3.
China
China is one of the largest countries in the
entire globe. It got its independence in 1949. In such a short span, they have been
able to make their name shine in the world. Products manufactured in China are
now sold worldwide. China has beautiful landscapes. The scenery is literally to
die for. It has desserts, high mountains covered in snow and amazing
architecture. The people of China are very hospitable. They welcome you with
open arms. You can stop a person on the street in China and ask for a selfie.
They will make one with a bright smile on their face. They have tasty rice and
sushi recipes. In short, it is the perfect place in Asia for vacation. You can
experience diversity here. China is officially atheist. But there are three
main religions practiced in China. They are Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. The
elements of religion practiced in China are very old. They combine different
forms of practices and beliefs. The best part about Chine is they have
tolerance in term of religions. If one temple does not answer their calls, they
will go to the next one. They pick the religion or practice that is best
suitable for them at the moment.
4.
Hong Kong
It is on the top list of countries where tourists
like to go. It has lots of urban destinations to visit. It is a country that
was previously colonized by the British. Hong Kong is one of the richest
financial and trading centers in Asia. It has plenty of local restaurants that
provide tasty food. The modern Hong Kong Island has skyscrapers, restaurants,
bars and many other tourist attractions. Apart from the modern places, it also
has many historical buildings and temples. There are about 600 Buddhist
temples. There are more than 800 churches in Hong Kong. Only 43% of the
population is religious. Majority of them follow the traditional Chinese
religion. All of them have their own practices and beliefs. The People of Hong
Kong do not practice religion that much. They do have certain practices but
none of them are identified as religious practices. Religion is not given much
importance. Due to that there is much tolerance and diversity in the country.
5.
Thailand
When people get sick of the cold and snowy
life, they head over to Thailand. It is a tropical city with beaches and
beautiful scenery. In the northern areas of the countries are mountains and
lush jungles. And on the southern part of Thailand are the beautiful and sunny
beaches. It is a place where you can go to relieve yourself from stress. It is
an affordable destination for backpackers. Many people of Thailand practice Buddhism.
They have a belief that whatever they do today will have consequences in the
future. The people of Thailand are strictly against lying. If they don’t want
to tell the truth, they will remain silent instead of lying. They have a
traditional greeting style known as Wai. They have their own system of
hierarchy. They also believe in domination and the superiority of the strong
and elder. They exhibit politeness and kind behavior. All of these qualities
make Thailand special.
I hope this helps you when you are looking at visitng these amazing countries and to learn about the wonderful people who live in each.
Until next time - , yours truly, Adam Yorkshire
