Having a small ship adventure in ASIA
You visited a few times and I would appreciate your thoughts on this post, why not comment?
If you love cruising but would like to try a new adventure that will take you closer to the sights and sounds of incredible destinations, then small ship cruising might be right up your alley.
Float Market, Mekong river, Vietnam
Imagine seeing wildlife from just a few feet off shore instead of through binoculars hundreds of feet away. Cruise up small fjords seeing scenery that few people will ever see. Land at small villages or towns that give you a true experience with the locals.
Small ship cruising gives you a more personal experience without the crowds formed by thousands of other passengers on today’s mega-cruise ships.
Small ship cruising can take you in many different directions to exotic destinations around the world. Vietnam is becoming an intriguing destination and there is a 12-day cruise starting in Hanoi and traveling south making multiple stops such as Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, eventually ending up in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). You could even add a land tour to the end of the cruise exploring Cambodia.
Besides, you can have a Mekong river cruise tour. This trip offers great combination of the two exotic lands and cultures. The trip starts in the dynamic city of Saigon. You will travel to Mekong Delta to experience great boat trip on the mighty river. You canl walk on village roads, visit to local houses and take ferry to cross the Mekong River. The highlight of Mekong Delta is the busy and colorful market of Cai Rang. From Mekong Delta, traveling to Phnom Penh by boat and you start journey to the majestic beauty of Angkor Wat.
For a longer adventure, pick up the cruise in Japan exploring Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima and Nagasaki and then heading over to China stopping at Shanghai, Xiamen and Hong Kong before heading to Vietnam. Your adventure in Asia will give you an unusual and interesting vacation getting you acquainted with their centuries old customs and culture.
Travel Tip: On your next trip travel to a destination you have not been to before. You just might find a new favorite destination loaded with new sights, sounds, food and adventure.

Malaysia & Singapore both of this country is Asia truly Asia. But Singapore has become a little bit to modernize so you can't really fell the Asian sensation and surrounding but Malaysia they are mix with modern and old. Plus if you wan to go around Asia Malaysia have this low cost airlines call Air Asia now fly to UK & Australia with reasonable price.

SINGAPORE-http://www.visitsingapore.com/publish/stbportal/en/index.html
P/S:Don't worry both of this countries are safe to travel.

You’re a fantastic artist!

Destination: Indonesia would do. It's a big country with fabulous sights worthy of a visit. If you want to save money, don't stay in Jakarta or Bali. These are places where you can have a great holiday on a budget:
-Lombok (island east of Bali that's more tranquil and just as beautiful. ask around for guided tours to historical temples and ruins of ancient kingdoms, watch traditional "sendratari"'s [dance drama musical] and eat local food)
-Tana Toraja (a tribe in Southern Sulawesi with very unique mystical culture… search on internet to find out more). Not very far from the Toraja area live another tribe called the Bugis, a tribe historically famous for being far-travelling pirates. Apparently the English word "bogeyman" was derived from the name of this tribe.
-Ambon (Moluccan Islands, historically aka spice islands… Ambon has the most beautiful crystal-clear sea and is a popular destination for scuba divers)
-Yogyakarta (South-central Java, a province in the form of a kingdom. Visit the Sultan's palace and museums that talk about the royal family's history. Hike up to Borobudur and Prambanan, one of the world's biggest Buddhist and Hindu temples. Catching a live Sendratari Ramayana at the open air Prambanan theater is a must. Eat street food: must try gudeg. Ride "becak" [pedicab] or "andong" [horse carriage] down the streets of Malioboro and bargain with souvenir peddlers there)
-Padang/Minang (province in Western Sumatera famous for being adherent Muslims but having a female-dominated culture–their surnames are maternal! must see their beautiful architecture, watch their dynamic traditional dances, and try the famous Padang cuisine)
Stay: In Lombok you may be able to get away with a local "melati" hotel (non-star) but in other places I recommend sticking to a budget world-known chain such as Quality Inn or Ibis.
Safety: Wear an old baseball cap, sunglasses, and light long-sleeved shirts so people don't immediately notice that you are a foreigner. Wear flip-flops and clothes that aren't expensive, avoid wearing jewellery and carrying thick wallets with money popping out of them. Don't answer your mobile phone when you're caught in a traffic jam or walking in the street–set it on silent and pretend you don't have it. I always abide by these rules in Indonesia and I've never had a problem.
Cheap flights: try Gulf Air, China Air, or Garuda Indonesia. Once you get to Indonesia there will be many cheap regional flights like Lion Air–you can travel Jakarta-Yogyakarta (1 hr flight) for about the equivalent of $25-30 retour. Check http://www.wikipedia.org for a complete list of regional Indonesian airlines.
Budget: hotel not included, set Rp150.000-Rp200.000 per day (Indonesian Rupiah, IDR) Approximately Rp10.000 (ten thousand) to US$1. Check http://www.xe.com for current exchange rates.
