Explore eight fascinating countries, meet their residents and experience their cultures, and have a succession of adventures along the way. Visit Thailand's mystical Mekong region; explore Bagan's famous temples in Burma; escape a ferry collision but not a tragic rickshaw flipover in Bangladesh; spend day and night at India's Taj Mahal and meditate with a renowned Buddhist Teacher; trek Nepal's Everest region and meet its two most famous mountaineers; join tribesmen on a wild bus ride up Pakistan's Khyber Pass; foolishly dive in the ominous waters of the Maldives' Shark Point; and reach the End of the World. Finally, depart Asia in style, in the cockpit of a 747. As in his book Unexpected Journey, the author complements the story with photos, 150 original photos including photo-journals of India and Bhutan. The author's warm and inviting style engages the reader as his travel partner, while vivid descriptions capture a unique time of change, optimism, and openness, an Asia Without Borders.
