As a European, I love travelling in (South and Southeast) Asia – mostly friendly and warm people, some beautiful scenery and vegetation, many sights, great food … However, I increasingly try to avoid Asian cities with several million inhabitants. The traffic and pollution are turning from bad to worse. During my last visits to Delhi, for instance, the city was covered by a thick blanket of smog. The bright colors that are part of India’s appeal in many areas are hardly to be found in the capital.
Similarly, while Indonesia is a country of great natural beauty, its capital Jakarta might just be one of the worst examples of urban sprawl in the world. Traffic is a nightmare.
Besides, I sometimes wonder: How does it come that countries with such a rich cultural heritage and tradition of art and architecture have such faceless cities?
I hope that Yangon and Phnom Penh, which have still retained some charm, will not repeat the same mistakes that some other cities in the region made during the past decades.

Comments on: Are Asia’s biggest cities less appealing for expats than big cities elsewhere?
