Happy Sunday! We are wandering around Asia this month which is the biggest continent on Earth with 48 Countries, not including the transcontinental countries of Russia, Turkey, and Georgia. There are number of ways to explore Asia, whether you pick a region or cross the continent, exploring the Silk Road or the oldest road called the Grand Trunk road, follow the Asian Highway Network, or the extreme altitudes and rugged terrain of Pamir Highway. I barely touched the surface when I read Journeys on the Silk Road years ago and didn't continue my explorations for quite some time. I also usually get stuck in Japan or China, but plan to venture out during my armchair travels and explore more countries and authors in the coming months and years.
