Russia
The world’s largest country, starting in Europe andreaching to the Pacific, and stretching from the Arcticicebergs to the deserts of Central Asia. Come for thelegendary sights of the Kremlin or the Hermitage - stayfor the unexpected experiences of nomadic peoples,siberian saunas, wild nightclubs and yummyrestaurants. Forget the cold-war cliches and meet thecountry that’s out-pumping Saudi Arabia on the oilmarkets, and whose favourite soccer team is “Chelski”.
Mongolia
Britain would fit into Mongolia six times -but Mongolia’s population (2.7m) wouldn’t evenequal a London borough. In the middle of theemptiness of the Gobi Desert the Steppe nomadstend flocks in a way Genghis Khan wouldfind largely unchanged - but alongside that,Ulaanbaatar has a wild, wacky and new-ageylifestyle where buddhism meets broadband.
China
The sleeping giant is waking-up - now’s the timeto catch China’s unique cultural heritage, beforethe economic boom sweeping the countrypaves and mirror-glazes the entire nation? Theastounding contrasts between the pagodas of ancientXi’an and the skyscrapers of Shanghai will leave yourhead spinning - so lie down and have a traditionalChinese massage before supper... satay-sticks from theNight Market, or Peking Duck at a slick eaterie?
