If you are traveling to Asia, you will initially want to learn a few facts about this amazing continent. First, it is so large that it occupies a quarter of the earth’s land mass. Second, it spans several time zones, so when you say you are going to “Asia” you need to be a little more specific. It is almost impossible to see all of Asia, so as you make your plans, you need to figure out exactly which areas appeal most to you. There are certain hot spots where people enjoy traveling, so following are a few ideas.

Vietnam has become quite the tourist destination. Of course most people want to go to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, which was a focal center during the Vietnam War. Although modernized now, just the history of these popular cities attracts people from all over the world. You will need a tourist Visa before entering most of Vietnam. Indonesia is another hot spot, more specifically the Island of Bali. Interestingly, you can bring almost anything to Bali except for CD players, which are prohibited.
