Bangladesh is a country that simply gets ignored on the backpacker trail across Asia and I have no idea why! India is hugely popular, Nepal too and SE Asia is overrun with tourists but Bangladesh – almost no one. Although I shouldn’t complain, it means we can have the place to ourselves! Bangladesh is a staunchly Muslim country and the Bangladeshi people are some of the friendliest people I have ever come across in all my travels. Because of the sheer lack of tourists, the locals are delighted that you have made the effort to visit their country – you’ll be inundated with offers of lunch, dinner, tea and a bed to sleep on at their family home. Day in, day out you’ll be shaking people’s hands and answering their bellowing ‘Hello Sir’ from across the street.

Macau is the hottest vacation destination few people really know much about. Located in China across the Pearl River estuary from Hong Kong. Macau is the place people go when they really love to gamble. It’s a hotter gambling destination than Las Vegas. Macau offers all the exotic pleasures of Asia. Formerly controlled by the Portuguese, it became the first European territory in the Far East when power was ceeded to them in the 16th Century. It was the last place Europeans held under their control in the Far East until China took over its administration in 1999. Still Macau remains a playground for gamblers and other vacationers. China has agreed to let Macau remain essentially independent for another 50 years.
