Unlike many other Asian countries, the temples and shrines found in Japan – and indeed, in Tokyo – are tranquil havens where relaxation and reflection can be had for free simply by walking into them, marking a stark contrast to the technological insanity taking place just a few feet outside!

Hong Kong

As far as having a pulse on the economic and financial world, few cities can rival Hong Kong and if your idea of an escape is taking in a an ultra-modern metropolis, then hop on the next flight! The beauty of Hong Kong lies in its melding of traditional Chinese values and practices and the fast-paced nature of the west. It’s an incredible sight and definitely worth checking out.

Bangkok

While not as close as Bali to Australia, Bangkok is no less popular amongst party-goers and those seeking an escape from their hectic lifestyle. Thailand’s capital is filled with fabulous shrines and temples but if you want the true Bangkok experience, be sure to consume as many of their local dishes as possible, particularly tom yum soup and pad thai to name a few. Finally, if shopping is your cup of tea then check out Bangkok’s many markets and hone up on your bargaining technique to find a great deal!
