My Beautiful Southeast Asia

My beautiful Southeast Asia continously fascinates me.

For most of the western people, they see Southeast asian countries and race almost same with each other. But if you will dig deeper you can see that each country has its unique and beautiful culture.

Most of these countries had been colonized by various western and other asian countries. Which in a way created a different fusion of culture, language, religion and belief.

This part of the earth had been battered by colonizers, grief stricken wars, phenomenal natural disasters and other man made or natural catastrophies. But faith in God, strong family ties and love for the country keeps the people fight back and move on with their lives.

It is funny to think that in Southeast Asia you can find the 3rd World nations but it is also a fact that here in Southeast Asis you can find the richest people on earth.

Number of men and women sacrificed their lives to fight for the honor of their motherlands. Parents keep struggling to fight poverty and illiteracy to brigthen the future of the next generation. Younger generations are fired up to keep the flame burning for patriotism and service to mankind.

As I had been to three Southeast Asian countries, namely, The Philippines - my homeland, Vietnam - the first country I traveled for work and Cambodia - wherein Im working right now, the urge in me to travel the whole Southeast Asia continous.

It is my dream to travel all the eleven (11) countries before I reach 33 yers of age.
