Security is not High in Asia or in Saigon
When you’re traveling to a foreign country, you should learn about their culture so you can get along with the locals and avoid problems. Before you leave, you should learn about the country that you’re going to so that you won’t be surprise when you get there. Asian culture can be a surprise for many westerners. Everything is different in Asia. One problem that might have you turn your head is the traffic there. Once you have been to Asia, you will know how confusing it is over there. It’s very rural and it’s not as organized as in America. You will see the differences when you get there. The differences will strike you. You might enjoy it or be turn off by it.
One thing that you should know is that there are a lot of health problems in some country in Asia. Saigon in Vietnam has a lot of health problems just like China, Philippine, Thailand or Korea. The heath care system there is not apparent like in the US. People there don’t receive free healthcare. There will be things that will make you turn your head but this is how it’s like in a foreign country. Asia especially doesn’t have a good healthcare system. They will have many health problems with their people. You might see someone with TB walking around. You might see sick people walking around and they don’t have to be treated like the US. You can’t walk around with TB in the US without someone asking you to get treatment.
You won’t be allowed at work but this is not like Asia. In Asia, you can go to work with TB or AIDS or go in public and this is the scary part. People there might not even know that they have TB or AIDS. If you’re traveling to Asia, you might not want to date the locals unless they are disease free. You won’t know that because the main mode of work in Asia is being a call girl. This is very prevalent in Saigon Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines or China. When you speak of Asian country, you will hear about human trafficking. It’s very common. You don’t want to go there and bring back diseases or get sick yourself. The girls in those countries would wait on tourists and that’s how they make money. You might not want to sleep with women there just to be safe. They will follow you around too.
They will ask you if you want to stay in there hotels. It’s very tempting and even an issue worth mentioning. If you feel sorry for them you can donate a buck or two but you should be careful of sick women there. A lot of them die from Aids. Aids is very common in Saigon, Vietnam and you don’t want to be a victim. Theft is common in Saigon Vietnam. If you’re going around with a purse, you might get a lot of attention from the thieves. Security is not high in Asia or in Saigon, Vietnam. Most Asian country doesn’t have a good security system. They don’t have a justice system like Americans do and you won’t get a fair trial or even a trial in the first place if you get into problems. Unless it’s a major problem like detention, you won’t get as much protection as someone would get in the US. You’re at high risk for safety when you’re in an Asian country. It’s best that you stick to the city and don’t go into the rural areas. If you go into the rural area, you might get into problems like robberies. There are not a lot of police at work in the rural farmland and you’re on your own. This is why you should guard all of your personal belongings and don’t drag them outside of your hotel room.
Asia is a Continent of Superlatives
Asia is a continent of superlatives. The most populous country, the largest city, the fastest growing major economy, the tallest mountain (and building), the longest tunnel (and bridge), the largest oil reserves – all are to be found here. Nor are its achievements recent. It has given the world its most important civilizations, its five main religions and three of its most potent inventions; paper, gun powder and Arabic numerals. It stretches from the Mediterranean to the Pacific, from the exotic cultures of the Middle East to the mysteries of China, and from the Gobi Desert to the rain forests of New Guinea. There are other contrasts, too: command economies and free market capitalism, dictatorships and well established democracies. Although this sophistication, vibrancy and diversity has brought its share of problems as well as advantages, most observers now agree that Asia (and China in particular) in many ways represents the future.Support for this idea is certainly provided by Asia’s travel and tourism industry. Visitors to Asian countries increased by about 7% in 2005 as against 2004, above the global average of 5.5%, despite various areas of regional instability and the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami. North East Asia (including China, Japan and Korea) has seen the most impressive growth. Indeed, China has now overtaken Italy as the fourth most visited country in the world and overtaken the UK as the world’s fourth largest economy.
