Top 7 Countries in Asia!
Asia has been my home since 2013, when I moved to South Korea to teach English. Over the last 5 years, I've lived in Vietnam, the Philippines and currently Thailand -- and I've been to almost every country on the beautiful continent of Asia.
Each culture in Asia is very unique -- from religions to traditions, nature, history, cuisines and rituals -- and it provides endless opportunities to learn and discover. But above anything else, THE PEOPLE of Asia are the most hospitable and welcoming as they come.
Admittedly, it has been very hard to choose only 7 of my favorite Asian countries to feature in this video (because I truly love every place for a different reason) -- but when it all comes down to it, these would be my 7 favorite countries on this amazing place called Asia!
THE PHILIPPINES SOUTH KOREA, SINGAPORE, VIETNAM, NEPAL, INDONESIA, JAPAN
What would be your top 7 in Asia? Why? Please comment below and let's get the discussion started!
PS - I kept this video limited to East/South/Southeast Asian countries. While the Middle East and West/Central Asia are technically Asian countries, I consider them very culturally different. Iran and Tajikstan would be on this list if it was all of Asia!

INDOCHINA 3: Myanmar
Irrawaddy — the main river of Myanmar. It is all, the largest transport route, the water source for the rice fields, and the object of worshipping.
In Myanmar, there are pagodas at every step.
They build them not for mercantile reasons, but for the purpose of improvement of their karma. This is their way to pray for forgiveness of their sins. The more sins, the taller should be the stupa. This is why, the biggest pagodas were built on the orders of the most cruel and treacherous kings, that were in blood up to the elbow.
The City of Ava, known also as Inva, was founded in the 14th century, at the confluence of the Myinge River with the Irrawaddy River. Up to the year of 1824, it was the capital of Burma and occupied an extensive territory. Only separate ruins remained until now — widely spaced from each other.
On the opposite bank of the Irrawaddy River, in 1824, the city of Mandalay was founded. It was the capital of Burma, during the period of history when the country was being gradually developed by the English colonialists.
Mandalay - the spiritual capital of Myanmar. It is exactly here, where the most highly esteemed Buddha's statue is kept — Buddha Mahamuni or the Great Wiseman.
One more holy site - the Hill of Mandalay. A stone stairway of 999 steps, leads to its top.
11 km from Moniwa, in the 1930's, they built the temple complex of Mohnin Thambudha, occupying the territory of 15 hectares. The main temple - Sambudkh Kat Kiyav - is filled with Buddhas of all types and sizes: from tiny 10-centimeter ones up to 2-3-meters high. They were all counted. According to these exact calculations, there are 582 363 of them here. They possibly planned to reach a million, but there wasn't enough money or persistence.
In the religious complex Laykiun Setkyar, there are much fewer statues. But what kind! The standing Buddha is 116 meters, the lying is slightly smaller - only 90. The gilded stupa, standing at the bottom of the hill, looks tiny. But it is as high as a nine-storey house.
Bagan — one of the main tourist destinations not only of Myanmar, but also of all Indochina. The ruins of the ancient city occupy a triangle of about fifty square kilometers, on the bend of Irrawaddy river.
The State of Shang — one of the national regions of Myanmar. The primary population here are not Burmans, but Shanas. Part of them continues to conduct armed battles, in honor of the creation of their independent state. Huge territories of the Shang State, still remain out of control of the central government. Only the triangle between Khalo, Pindaya and Inle lake, is open for tourists.

Discovering Northwest Myanmar 8 - Kalaymyo-Kalewa-Mawlaik
Still in the midst of the Thingyan Festival, I take a rest day in Kalaymyo, try to get out to a local swimming hole, but get turned back by the vicious holiday traffic. The next day, I follow the Myittha River to where it meets the Chindwin at the town of Kalewa. I end up in Mawlaik

[한국어 정보]
안개 자욱한 나웅야 호수가 운치 있게 여행자를 맞이하는 도시 라이코. 라이코는 미얀마 전체 7개주 중 가장 작은 카야주의 주도다. 크고 작은 135개의 민족 연합으로 이뤄진 미얀마는 인구의 90% 가까이 되는 버마족의 종교인 불교가 미얀마를 지배한다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 안개가 걷힌 라이코. 그 중심에 자리한 타웅크웨 불교 사원이 그 위용을 드러낸다. 멋있는 산이나 바위가 있으면 그 위에 불탑을 세우는 미얀마 사람들. 이곳도 예외는 아닌 듯싶다. 아래에서 보는 것도 멋있지만 위에서 보는 풍경은 또 어떨까? 궁금해서 한번 올라가보기로 했다. 계단이 좀 가파른 것 말고는 힘들지 않게 정상에 갈 수 있었다. 들인 노력에 비해 탁 트인 풍경이 주는 상쾌함이 정말 크다. 해발 1,200미터 분지에 위치한 로이코는 시원한 날씨 탓에 미얀마 사람들도 많이 찾는 관광지라고 한다. “높은 곳에서 보는 것이 좋다 사원 멋있고 만달레이보다 시원하고 좋네요” 어쩌면 평범했을지도 모를 동네 바위산이 정성으로 쌓아 올린 불탑들 덕분에 빛나는 구나 하는 생각을 하며 시내 구경을 더 해보기로 했다.

Misty Nanao Lake Ryoko welcomes travelers with its lakeside charm. Lyche is the smallest of the seven provinces in Myanmar. It is no exaggeration to say that Buddhism, which is a religion of the Burmese people who are close to ninety percent of the population, is ruled by Myanmar. The fog has disappeared. The Taungkwang Buddhist temple in its center reveals its grandeur. Myanmar people who build a pagoda on top of a great mountain or rock. It seems that this is no exception. It is nice to see from below, but what about scenery from above? I was curious and decided to go up. The stairs were able to go to the top without any difficulty other than a little steep. The freshness of the panoramic landscape is huge compared to the efforts made. Located at 1,200 meters above sea level, Loiko is said to be a tourist destination with a lot of Myanmar people due to the cool weather. It is nice to see from a high place. It is nice to the temple and it is cooler than Mandalay. Maybe it would be ordinary. I decided to take a look at the city with the idea of being brilliant thanks to the pagodas built by the local rocky mountains.

Touring Sagaing Hill / စစ်ကိုင်းမြို့ (Three Cities Tour)
Sagaing Hill / စစ်ကိုင်းမြို့ has numerous pagodas and monasteries crowding hills along a ridge running parallel to the Irrawaddy River. Sagaing was the capital of Sagaing Kingdom (1315–1364), one of the minor kingdoms that rose up after the fall of Pagan dynasty, where one of Thihathu's sons, Athinkhaya, established himself. During the Ava period (1364–1555), the city was the common fief of the crown prince or senior princes. The city briefly became the royal capital between 1760 and 1763 in the reign of King Naungdawgyi.
The Soon Oo Ponya Shin Pagoda / ဆွမ်းဦးပုညရှင်ဘုရား is located on the top of the Sagaing Hill and is one of the hill's oldest temples. The pagoda is connected by a set of covered staircases that run up the 240 meter hill.
U Min Thonze Caves or literally '30 Caves' is famed for its crescent-shaped colonnade of 45 Buddha images.
