The Caribbean was an adventurous stop for Bucky and I. Leaving the sandy beaches, tropical weather and great cuisine was difficult, but much was expected from the next destination: Asia.
Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent, covering 8.6 percent of the Earth's total surface area, with approximately 4 billion people.
The continent is home to the world's tallest mountain, Mt. Everest in Nepal; the world's lowest point, found in the Dead Sea; the world's most populated countries, China and India; the world's longest coastline; the world's deepest lake, Lake Bayka; and some of the most important rivers on the planet.
Before making travel preparations, I visited with a few of the Malaysian, Nepalese, Chinese, South Korean and other Asian students represented on campus to get a sense of what to prepare for before arriving and in what countries to spend the most time in.
After interviewing Eileen Ling, Phoebe Lee, Pil, Eri, Manisha, Saanya, Bilal and other Asian students, I was torn between deciding where Bucky and I would start our adventure.
I ranked India, the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country, and the most populous democracy in the world, high on our list of places to visit because of its cultural and commercial wealth.
Agra is globally renowned as the city of the Taj Mahal, the crowning glory of the city, a monument of love and imagination that represents India to the world.
