Asia is a land of beauty and full of
mythical and mystical things. Hehe I bet the stray cat below my block right now is a mythical beast on the prowl lol!!!
Well.....to be fair that was how people describe Asia many many many years ago and to a certain extent the mythical part was accurate due the col
ourful cultures the many races here in Asia have. Asia is indeed beautiful and still described as above but not solely. In fact the traditional Thai dance costumes does give people a
mythical and mystical feel when they see it.
This is just one of the many colorful things to see in Asia. so onne can pretty much say that the description on Asia earlier does hold true....but personally I feel that given the rapid development of Asia, things have started to dull somewhat. Take for example Singapore. A prominent part of Asia, it has a
mythical creature call the Merlion in its
ancient legends. Wow! Shouldn't that be pretty close to a dragon as far is being mythical is concerned? But do you know that Singapore is most probably going to have free Wi-Fi access throughout the country next year? That means as long you have the hardware you can be online almost anywhere in Singapore! At this point I'm more interested in the Wi-Fi than the Merlion! I'm not saying its a bad thing, in fact I fully support such developments but doesn't that seem to make Asia loose it mythical and mystical appeal? Frankly if you were to tell me Asia is a land of beauty and full of mythical things etc etc just like that...I would expect to be very immersed in a fantasy world kind of thing the moment I step on Asian soil! Yet I find myself on the forefront of development! I'm sure I am not alone on this and pretty certain many people have come to Asia and left disappointed. Fact is there is no stopping development and Asia is already being masked by it. So don't be like me and expect to be immersed the moment you step on Asian soil. All the hype about Asia is still there,....but it is probably not going to be delivered the way some expect it to be. So if you are really looking to loose yourself in the beauty and mysticism of Asia etc etc hehe, don't expect it to hit you the moment you arrive. You
have to know where to look! Beyond the tall buildings, sprouting malls, hustle and bustle.....its there all . I might just be able to help ; )
