Asia Travel Journal

Asia includes a lot of diverse countries, from parts of Russia and Turkey, to India, Japan, China, Singapore, Thailand, and many more. I’ll probably get to see only a small subset of them in my life. This category page links to all of the posts from all of the Asian countries I visited after I started this travel journal. Entries on visits to cities and towns in Asia appear under a category page for their respective Asian country.

(I visited only one country in Asia before starting this journal, Japan. I loved it and hope to get back, so don’t be surprised if some entries from Japan pop up here at some point.)
