Asia
|
Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the eastern and northern hemispheres. It covers 8.7% of the Earth's total surface area (or 30% of its land area) and with approximately 3.879 billion people, it hosts 60% of the world's current human population. During the 20th century Asia's population nearly quadrupled. Asia is defined according to similar definitions presented by the Encyclopædia Britannica and the National Geographic Society as 4/5 of the landmass of Eurasia – with the western portion of the latter occupied by Europe – located to the east of the Suez Canal, east of the Ural Mountains and south of the Caucasus Mountains (or the Kuma-Manych Depression) and the Caspian and Black Seas. It is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean. Given its size and diversity, Asia – a toponym dating back to classical antiquity – "is more a cultural concept" incorporating diverse regions and peoples than a homogeneous physical entity Asia differs very widely among and within its regions with regard to ethnic groups, cultures, environments, economics, historical ties and government systems.

I plan to travel for a year before university but wondered how much, roughly would I need to travel Asia? However it is likely I will stay in places for a few weeks to a month, and have a small bar job or such like. Also I would be staying in cheap accommodation such us youth hostels. Any ideas? Asked by Craig - Fri Sep 23 12:24:02 2011 - Other - Asia Pacific - 1 Answers - Comments A. Hello Craig, I backpacked in Asia last year, I think you might need an average of 600 pounds a month, in country like Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Indonesia you'll spend a lot less (I did it with 400/500 a month last year) but Thailand is a bit more expensive, in China you could easily spend 1000 pounds in one month because in some cities life is cheap, like Yangshuo, Kunming, Shangrila, Chengdu and Xi'an but other are more expensive, like Shanghai and Beijing. Also in China the entrance to every park, temple, little village, trekking routes is a bit pricey, you could pay an average of 15 pounds for each sightseeing you do. If you do less sightseeing and just enjoy the chinese life as I did when I stayed a month in Yangshuo you can live… [cont.] Answered by - Fri Sep 23 17:53:08 2011 how do i plan a trip to asia with several cities?

Asked by mayfairkitty - Wed Mar 5 15:29:21 2008 - Thailand - 5 Answers - Comments A. I have flown to the Philippines from Bangkok several times. Getting the plane ticket in Bangkok was no real problem at all. Purchase a round trip ticket to Bangkok, spend about a week or so there and then fly to Manila and visit there for a while, then fly back to Thailand for the rest of your trip. You could also fly to Manila first and then hit Thailand but I think it is easier and maybe cheaper to do Bangkok first. A flight on Thai air will might be around $300-$350 (depending on the season) for an economy ticket, discount airlines a little bit cheaper. The discount airlines may land at Clark Airport at Angeles City not Manila. Thailand is a little bit easier for getting plane tickets to other countries, lots of travel agencies with… [cont.] Answered by karazyal - Wed Mar 5 16:41:40 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "asia" |
