Singapore is a former British colony that later became a part of Malaysia and has now been a self-governing nation for nearly 50 years.

As one of more than 17,000 islands that comprise the Indonesia archipelago, Bali is a pintsize exemplum of the region’s intoxicating beauties. But don’t let its diminutiveness fool you: Roughly twice the size of Rhode Island, Bali is a testament that good things come in small packages. |
