Southeast Asia, which you dislike, why do Europeans yearn so much?

I once saw a joke like this on the Internet.

At present, the cost of traveling to Southeast Asia is getting lower and lower, even lower than some domestic tours, so many people will take a trip to Southeast Asia, even in some popular scenic spots, as if they were returning to the embrace of the motherland, because they are all compatriots everywhere.

Some pretentious people will say: It is better to travel abroad to Southeast Asia than to travel at home. The streets are full of China people. If you want to go abroad, you have to go to Europe and Australia. It is worthy of the word "traveling abroad".

Europeans, on the other hand, are crazy about Southeast Asia. They like sunshine and beaches so much that they even set up an artificial tropical island in Germany to enjoy the holiday in Southeast Asia.

Actually, there are sunny beaches in many places, such as Maldives and Bali, but why do they prefer Southeast Asia so much? Because it's cheap!

In fact, the place where traveling costs money is nothing more than living and eating, and it also costs 3 yuan. You can live like this in Southeast Asia and Thailand, and the hotel also has its own swimming pool.

but in Europe, Venice, Italy, you can only live like this.

For another example, it also costs 2 yuan.

You have a breakfast facing the sea in santorini, Europe.

In fact, it's just coffee+croissants+yogurt+boiled eggs+a bowl of fruit

On the Cambodian beach in Southeast Asia, you can have a luxurious seafood dinner facing the sea, plus a drunken cocktail. Of course, 2 yuan is still to be found.

serendipity Beach in Cambodia

also faces the sea. You can enjoy seafood dinner and drink? Blowing the sea breeze and listening to the sound of the sea, but it only costs 5 dollars (about 33 yuan). Hey, I want to travel to Cambodia again.

Their holiday paradise is: sea, sand (white sand) sunshine, palm trees, coconuts and cocktails.

Lying on the beach, enjoying the sun bath, drinking green coconut juice, holding cocktails, facing the sea and listening to the ebb and flow, this is the holiday paradise they want.

Many countries in Southeast Asia are archipelagic countries, which can basically meet their paradise requirements.

Europeans especially like basking in the sun and are crazy about it. We are afraid of tanning, and they are afraid of tanning. They like brown skin and think that brown skin is a symbol of health, success and wealth. You have brown skin, which means you have money to go out for a holiday and bask in the sun. You have money to go out for a holiday, which means you are successful in your career.

So my naturally dark skin is beautiful in my boyfriend's eyes! Every time I go to buy skin care products and want to buy whitening, I will be despised by him. Gradually, I broke the jar and fell, and now it is hopeless.

We know that the more mature a country is, the more sound its laws will be, and the more sound its laws will be, the greater its constraints on people will be.

In Europe, such as in Italy, if you live near the beach, get up early and put some towels to help everyone take a seat. The police will not only confiscate your towels, but also fine you 2 euros (more than 1, RMB).

and if you are on an island in southeast Asia, you can do whatever you like, as long as you don't kill or set fire to it, no one cares about you.

Similarly, in many countries in Southeast Asia, whether you have a driver's license or not, you can rent a motorcycle and drive smartly on the road with the accelerator on. (I recall the embarrassing incident that I smashed a signboard when riding a motorcycle for the first time in pai County, Chiang Mai last year.)

But in Europe, if you are caught riding a motorcycle without a driver's license, the police will not only confiscate your car, but also fine you, not only the person who rented it to you. So if you don't have a motorcycle driver's license in Europe, you can't rent a car at all.

In Southeast Asia, whether in Thailand or the Philippines, we can see many foreign men holding a local woman. Their job is to accompany them to eat, drink and sleep, including days, months and years.

In agogo Bar in Thailand, a woman who dances pole dancing can be touched by you as long as you buy her a beer for 1 baht (about 2 yuan). Because she wants to go with you, she wants you to take care of her.

So you can see sex workers in bars and streets in Thailand. Some of them are local to Thailand, while others come from countries bordering Thailand, such as Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Because there are so many tourists in Thailand, the probability of finding guests is higher.

tuk-tuk, which can be seen everywhere, can take you over mountains and mountains as long as you pay, but you can't see such a sight in Europe. I remember when I was in Siem Reap, Cambodia, I chartered a tuk-tuk Angkor for 15 dollars, and he would take you wherever you wanted.

In Europe, after 11 pm, the streets are like this. The streets are almost empty and many shops are closed.

let's take a look at phuket walking street in Thailand.

Three years ago in winter, my friend Jhony arrived in Bangkok, Thailand after flying from cold Europe for more than 1 hours. When he put down his luggage to go out for dinner, he came to Kau Shan Road. He said, wow, this is my dream country, with music, wine and women. The buildings and lights are all so colorful.

After that, he goes to Thailand for a holiday every winter. The picture below shows him.

Every winter, many Europeans spend their holidays in Southeast Asia, and of course some of them live in Southeast Asia. I met a young man from Sweden when I was traveling to the Philippines. He went to Asia in 212 and has never been back. He spent most of his time in Thailand, the Philippines, Laos, Cambodia and other countries, and sometimes he came to China to be a foreign teacher. After all, China earned more money, especially foreign teachers.

I now live in Antalya, Turkey. It looks beautiful and blue along the Mediterranean, but many beaches along the Mediterranean are rocky beaches, unlike the beaches of Southeast Asian islands, where the ground is covered with soft white sand.

when I first came here to swim, the above picture (15 minutes' walk from where I live) hurt my soles by the stones on the beach, I really missed Southeast Asia. Only then can I understand how much I love Southeast Asia.

in southeast Asia, my favorite is Cambodia.
