1. Food (best on the planet, end of.)
2. Languages (love the sound of Melayu-Indonesian)

After that my interests start to get more Indonesia specific, music (gamelan), Colonial architecture (hybrid Dutch-Javanese-Indian Moghul and more), but thats mainly because I know more about Indonesia from Indo friends in Dutch international school as well as chosing it in world history classes, and I know a bit about Thailand. Malaysia/Philippines remain a bit elusive to me.

Hi toltec,
in southEast Asia they have work ethic, maybe u meet the poor one and u thought there is no work ethic i guess. 
another thing Malaysia, singapore never had any serious natural disaster. climate always nice. but nowdays there are scary storm sound heard here and there, my friend from singapore told me. maybe because we all getting closer to december 2012 world end. LOL

anyway what is swe Dagon and Eastern Lao? if its history topic please lets discuss about this in history thread ok, this thread not about history. thank you.

Don't feel bad if the aggregate numbers in response to a post are not high. quality is what ya want not necessarily quanity. We have a small-medium but active membership here that share a divergence of interests.

 As for kimchi...only real men and Cav scouts eat it.Wink

Frog is a delicacy in parts of Europe too, most famously France. I'll give it a miss.
Never tasted durian, have had the pleasure of smelling one, that was more than enough :) Relativly hard to find outside of Malaysia/Indonesia as far as I am aware, you occasional find them in some Tokos in the Netherlands.

Eastern Lao is the eastern part of the country of Lao, the most beautiful scenary on earth. Swe Dagon is a place in Rangoon Burma, SE Asia's finest monument.

I've been trying to cook a proper Phall for ages now but the local chilli peppers are not hot enough. I put 20 fresh chillies and ten dried ones last time I cooked one, it wasn't even 25% as hot as a Vindaloo let alone on the same planet as a Phall. Nothing even 1/10 as hot a Scotch Bonnet in SE Asia.

alright MY top 5 great thing about southEast Asia:
1-definitely the food
2-the Temples there
3-their unique culture
4-the unique species(i have learn few new frog names) each year they discover and introduce to our world.
5-THEIR STUPID BELIEF(just come southEast asia and talk to them for few hours and they will list you so much of stupid and insane beliefs, will make u laugh for hours with your friends, always lead to great conversation)

so what about other guys there? please don't keep repeating the same thing, thankx.

Add Sappers to that list.Big smile  That's one of my son's favorites.  He even has the local variations from one region to another, nailed down and catagorized.

nick, balut (duck egg) actually tastes as well as sounds delicious; it's how it looks that most people find revolting.

let us know when you've actually tried it Smile
