A map of Southeast Asia and its neighbouring countries
Hello again (:
Since this is a blog about RSP which revolves around Southeast Asia (SEA), I'll talk about it in this post :D
SEA consists of:
- Brunei
- Cambodia
- Indonesia
- Laos
- Malaysia
- Myanmar (formerly known as Burma)
- Philippines
- Singapore
- Thailand (formerly known as Siam)
- Vietnam
- Timor Leste
SEA basically refer to the southeast corner of Asia (that's quite straightforward..). If you look at a map, SEA would be the portion of land and seas lying to the South of China and East of India.
SEA is considered "open" due to the many exits out and entrances into the region.
SEA has a tropical climate which is actually influenced by the monsoon wind system. The winds made travelling by sail ships within the region possible.
Yep, that's the end of the rather brief introduction. (: Information and the picture are taken from "RSP 2008 - Reading material for Understanding Southeast Asia (USEA) "
