Life in Asia

Culture

Culture

This is a region of spirit and mystery—where mists drift through Thailand’s Phan Nga Bay and Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay. Monks ring temple bells in Da Nang, incense swirls through Ho Chi Minh City's pagodas. We explore Tokyo’s vibrant pop culture and iconic skyline and find harmony with nature in Shanghai’s Yu Garden.

Culinary

Asia is a food lover's paradise, from wok dishes to pho, street vendors to vibrant food halls, offering a cauldron of coriander-spiced cultures. Noodles become art, fresh tuna is prized, and soup dumplings are perfectly steamed. Explore centuries-old flavours, satay sticks alongside Michelin-starred restaurants, and bustling markets. Sample sake in Kyoto, octopus in Osaka, bibimbap in Busan, and indulge in lobster and marbled beef in Singapore.

Nature

Nature

Asia’s coastlines are a kaleidoscopic dream - rainforests, mountains, coral gardens, caves, and karsts create tranquil, unforgettable landscapes. Langkawi’s lagoons and James Bond Island mesmerise, while Bali’s rice paddies offer peaceful solitude. Drift through the Dorokyo Gorge or unwind on Krabi’s sugary white beaches. With its 10,000 islands, Asia is a treasure trove of beauty and rare gems.

History

History

Asia, birthplace of ancient civilisations, is now home to some of the world’s most advanced nations. Maritime merchants, monks, and explorers shaped its cultural exchange. While dynasties have faded, revered traditions like the tea ceremony, geisha customs, artisan crafts, and samurai-era ninjas endure. Cobblestone streets, colonial buildings, cultural performances, and a blend of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism shape a society that values respect and harmony.

Life

Life

If life is movement, Asia is a dance. Daily rhythms blend tai chi, barefoot walks by the sea, and mindful togetherness, beautifully complementing your Ocean State of Mind. Beauty is functional, from teapots to modern skyscrapers. Festivals follow the moon, while city days pulse with 21st-century energy. Good karma flows as locals kneel in temples, embodying respect and the joy of ‘sanuk’—finding happiness in life.
