You probably came here looking for travel Asia Photographs and Video as well as links and contact information to the best and most trusted information about your intended destination.
You'll find it all at Travel-Budget-Asia.com and even more.
You'll find detailed articles on most major cities in Asia as well as...
Links to any Other Website with "Information Value" to You.
Videos and Photographs on Every Page for a Virtual Taste of Your Intended Destination City.
You can also offer your opinions about your favorite hotel or just rant on about whatever travel Asia experiences you've had.
If you really disliked a Hotel In Saigon, Vietnam then take a photo of it and get all the details about it together and build a web page that anyone can access from anywhere in the world. It would take you 15 minutes and cost you nothing.
You could even create your own web page with video and photographs documenting your travels for your friends and family back home.
It's all free and done with a click of a button. It's even been Grandma approved by my Grandmother. She said "Wow, I didn't know it was so easy to build a web page.
Whatever you write or whatever pictures you upload get made into a web page that is yours to edit and control as you like. Your name can also be attached as the author of the material. Or you can do it all anonymously unless you want to have it printed along the top like in this Vietnam Travel web page built by a 14 year old!
She knew nothing of the web except how to surf it. But she managed to build her own web page that so far has been read by over 300 people. It's that easy and you'll never be asked for contact details or personal information.
And it's all free to you.
We want to hear it. When you return Home after your travel Asia experience, people seem to want to know how it was. But they just can't relate and lose interest quickly. It's like a skydiver describing his passion to someone who has never skydived before.
It seems that people who don't travel Asia or never will travel Asia can never understand those who have. But people who come here are doing so to read about other people's experiences as well as my own. Everyone coming to this website either wants to travel Asia or has already done so and wants to reminisce.
The idea is to have a website where I can show you a certain spot in the world and visitors here can also add what they saw or even dispute with me. It would make for an ideal place on the web for people to come and get some real travel Asia information from the Gurus out there who have been there and done it.
That's what I've tried to do at travel-budget-asia.com. And the best part is that it's free to anyone who chooses to use it.
You might have already bought one of those high priced travel Asia guidebooks. I did also. Those books ARE informative but they're like the lady next door who keeps peering through the drapes and telling the neighbors all your secrets.
As soon as any Hotel, Restaurant or Tour Operator makes it into the vaulted pages of this Travel Asia Guidebook, or that Budget Travel Asia Book, they quickly raise their prices to meet the stampede of tourists that soon follow.
It's big money for the major travel Asia guidebooks and their clientele. Meanwhile you're stuck in line paying premium costs and being herded to 'Recommended Attractions' and staying in 'Recommended Hotels'.
That was how I traveled Asia for years until I found myself in Shanghai, China at 1AM in the morning begging for a discount on a $50 a night room. It was a youth hostel (The Captain Hostel) that I had selected from the 'Budget Section' of my guidebook.
$50USD a night for a 'budget hostel'?
"No Discount!"' Fired the receptionist. "We now famous place!"
"Yes", I see. Page 138."
I walked out of there in a huff but the adrenaline of my anger helped me lug my huge backpack. I lugged that thing strapped to my sore back from one Hostel to the next. It was hell but I found some of the most amazing, out of the way places on the streets of Shanghai at 1AM in the morning.
It wasn't until I took a wrong turn and got lost that I finally found a decent hotel. It had a clean bed, a toilet, heat and hot water. It was a really nice little room and it was $12USD a night. Of course, it was not listed in my Travel Asia Guidebook.
Done. And that's all I needed.
Thats why I started this website. The idea of making a website where people can add their own web pages, comment on others, upload photos.
In theory it would be a great website that represented a whole selection of people who share their knowledge.
I'll share with you as much as I can about what I learned during the numerous 11 block walks I have taken in many cities throughout Asia over the past 7 years.
Here is the New Year's celebration in the city of Saigon, (Ho Chi Minh City) Vietnam in January, 2007.
And the next day I took this video of a traditional Vietnamese Lion Dance.
