One of the biggest outsourcing hubs in Southeast Asia, Malaysia is attempting to accomplish higher market shares in the worldwide b2b outsourcing industry. Just located below Philippines, Malaysia has become another foremost outsourcing destination, specializing in lead generation and appointment setting services using telemarketing.

This Southeast Asian country is actually home to several international BPO (business process outsourcing) companies which provide exceptional services in generating leads and appointment setting programs on a wide array of business sectors. Lead generation companies leverage on strong database of b2b contacts and telemarketing team to regularly aid clients finding warm and hot sales leads in various industries. Such examples of industries include health care, merchant services, software products, financial services, IT products and services, commercial cleaning, education and training, etc.

Another advantage is that b2b outsourcing lead generation in Malaysia is rapidly growing in number, for the most part because of the country’s economic resiliency in the worldwide economic crisis. Statistics show that Malaysian inflation rate is 2.4% lower than its most Southeast Asian neighbors.

In order to expand its economy, a huge effort was made in their tourism industry and this industry maintains Malaysia’s third biggest revenue from foreign exchange. Generating new businesses for travel can be a good avenue for internet marketers who could aid in supporting this Asian country as a top tourist spot whilst also making profits.

Outsourcing telemarketing in Malaysia has helped several companies over the past few years. It’s an effective marketing tool to be considered to increase clients for the success of a business. Appointment setting is a crucial quality for most companies whose profits rely on a constant sales production. Lead generation companies help businesses maximize sales by setting appointments with the best qualified leads, carefully assessed by the expert call representatives. The sales representatives and appointment setting professionals partner with the client in establishing the objectives for the specific marketing campaign, and then come up with a cost-efficient strategy in marketing the client’s products and/or services.

As every marketing campaign is custom-made to each client’s criteria, the appointment setters present each client with a daily progress report of the campaign results and also, of their agents’ output. The appointment setting firm works in generating sales leads then, qualifying them prior to allowing the client’s sales people to close.

Lead generation and appointment setting services may be challenging, but with the partnership of a dependable b2b outsourcing company and having the right people for the job, then it will be a great help.

The oriental elephant collectible is an important representation of the majestic Asian elephant itself. Its history and spiritual nature should be understood clearly if you are to successfully utilize this kind of figurine in your home or office. However, before you can do this it would be wise to consider the distinctions between the Asian and African elephants themselves. Hopefully, you are already aware that there are important similarities as well as differences between these two types of elephants.

Asian and African elephants do indeed look very much alike because they are both “elephants.” They are large animals with trunks, strong bodies, and big ears. They have great strength, mobility, and generally travel with other elephants. Despite these obvious similarities, they are also very different from each other. They have distinct physical characteristics. It is because of their unique environments that they have made behavioral adaptions that are also different from each other. Understanding these important differences can also help you understand how the elephant survives in its natural world even today.

Generally speaking, the Asian elephant is smaller than the African elephant. The Asian elephant weighs between 3.25 and 5.5 tons. The African elephant usually weighs more. The Asian elephant is also shorter; its average height is between 7 and 12 feet. In addition, the Asian elephant has smaller ears. They serve to cool the elephant when it gets too warm, as they do for the African counter part. The Asian elephant has 4 toes on each hind foot while the African breed has only 3 toes on each hind foot. The back of the Asian elephant is more humped. Like the African animal, the Asian elephant uses its trunk to help it with daily activities. These activities would include bathing with water, eating food, and communicating with other elephants. The Asian elephant has one extremity coming from its trunk. Most female Asian elephants do not have tusks while most female African beasts do. If a female Asian elephant does happen to have tusks, they are usually very hard to see.

It is noteworthy that Asian elephants have been used for domestic purposes for many centuries. In Asia, the people have often used these magnificent elephants as ceremonial animals. They have even ridden these elephants during special ceremonial events! Some Asian elephants have been used for work details in mills and other industries. It is because of their large size and great strength that these elephants have been employed to knock down small trees, brush, shrubs, and other kinds of undergrowth in places intended for human settlement or industry. So in Asia it has been commonplace for humans and elephants to live, work, and worship side by side in harmonious continuity. It is not difficult to see why the Asian elephant has developed into such an important symbol.

There are also different emphases placed upon the elephant in different places. For instance, the Indian elephant goes back to ancient mythologies. The elephant in India is considered precious because it has divine origins. It should be preserved and protected at all costs just like fine jewel are. Elephants represent strength, fidelity, long memory, patience, wisdom, and conjugal felicity. The famous white elephant of India is considered to be “solar.”

According to the tradition associated with Buddhism, an ivory elephant once appeared to the sacred Queen Maya to announce the birth of a royal king who would rule over the whole world. In Buddhism, the white or “ivory” elephant is also the Jewel of the Law. It symbolizes compassion, love, and kindness. In the region of the world we know today as China, the elephant is a symbol of strength, sagacity, prudence, energy, and sovereignty. The beautiful, golden elephant tends to represent the sun. The golden elephant symbolizes illumination, self light, the quality of sacredness, wisdom, durability, honor, superiority, and wealth.

An important, though sad, subject is that of elephant ivory. The use and trade of elephant ivory has become very controversial as its harvesting, which usually involves killing these majestic, peaceful animals solely for their tusks, has contributed to fewer populations of elephants in some areas of the world. Ivory dealing is often illegal in many places. So one should be careful about choosing ivory figurines which represent white elephants. Nevertheless, the oriental elephant figurine is a great collectible for your Asian decor scheme. The choices of bronze, white, or golden elephants are very enjoyable to make for the thoughtful collector. The elephant’s history, symbolism, and spiritual appeal will be something which adds considerably to your other vintage selections. It is probably wise to not over populate your decor with any one kind of collectible, including elephants, until you are certain of your decor goals. The oriental elephant is a very pragmatic and prudent choice indeed!

Traveling around Asia and living in Asia you come across a lot, and I mean a lot, of very beautiful ladies. If you are attracted to Asian girls you will find they have beautiful smiles, are very friendly and they like to look after themselves. Dating Asian girls isn’t easy and there are a few things you must be wary of. There are some specific places you can date Asian girls and have a lasting relationship either in Asia or the west.

Bars and Clubs

One of the most common places you are likely to meet a girl in Asia is in a tourist bar or club. If you enter the red light districts of any Asian country you are going to meet a plethora of girls who are looking for you to buy them a drink or pay the “bar fine” to take them out for the evening. The vast majority of these girls, if not all of them, are going to be working girls. If that is what you are looking for then you can find them easy, you don’t need to be good-looking, have the perfect body or witty conversation, you just need money!

If you are looking for local girls, then you won’t find them in bars. Asians are not into bars and clubs, the “ladette” culture has not reached Asia. Asian girls are very family orientated and the only time they will go to bars is in a big group through work or maybe with friends on a special occasion. If you do find an Asian girl in a bar or club, she is not likely looking to meet anyone so starting a conversation with them isn’t going to be easy.

Malls, Movies, Parks etc

Striking up a conversation with an Asian girl in public isn’t going to be easy either. Firstly, you have a language issue, unless they have a good job and are good at English they will be shy to speak English and things you say may be misjudged or misunderstood. As I said, Asian girls are shy and so talking with strangers is not easy for them, in most cases, they may think you are a weirdo or they might think you are looking for a hook up and this will offend them.

Internet Dating

This is by far the best and easiest way to meet Asian girls and get to know them, overcome misjudgments and misconceptions and generally make it a lot easier when you do eventually meet. Although Asian girls aren’t good at speaking English, they do know how to write it from the western signs and movies they see all the time. Internet dating will allow you to talk to each other for a number of days and understand where each other is coming from, it will allow you to know what each other wants from the relationship so you don’t waste time meeting beforehand.

One of the biggest problems that I face when planning Asia cheap travel is trying to set the main things that I want to do and then to come up with a reasonable time frame and importantly for me a cheap travel budget that is realistic to the goals that I have identified. Research is the key to having a great vacation or an OK holiday, screw this part up and regret it you will. Time and money always being the major influences for me as a professional Cheap Charley, I want the best chance of having a great time so I work it hard before I go on the road.

I go to the travel blogs for my main research once I have an idea where I want to go to, one that I lean on is Travel Blog.org. The people that write on that particular blog have no financial reason to give you slued information and they tend to be more seasoned travelers than the great majority of new guys on Thorn Tree. I look to see what they did and see if it interests me, always keeping in mind that I do not want to follow exactly the hobbit trail, otherwise why bother, just read about it. Now it is safer to follow exactly what other people have done but the surprises that you encounter sometime good, sometimes bad are the stuff that stick in the old cranium.  

For instance the clock tower in Mandalay in Burma Myanmar, why bother unless you need to set the time on your watch, for me it was a waste of time, we did however have a great time at a restaurant that had duck and goose hanging in the window which was not a tourist place as it was not listed anywhere just down the street, just a regular local restaurant that we stumbled into just because the stomach said a stop was in order.  I did really dig sitting in the Savoy hotel having tea which is listed and the time in Bagon was priceless. I tell everyone that they need to make Bagon a priority if they are going to be in that part of the world. Had I did proper research, I would have know that the boat only runs on certain days between Mandalay and Bagon, Major Bummer! The boat was really cool looking when we checked it out on the dock after taking the boring flight because the planner in the research phase missed that one.

Time is always a nuisance, so I recommend that you plan so that there be flex days when you can get the cheap travel on demand, usually bus or train segments, and then if you find a place that really interest you, you can hang longer and really dig into a place. Quiananmen South of Tiananmensquare in Beijing was one of those places for me that created a dilemma as I had a really cheap flight to Bangkok on Air Asia out of Xiamen , which was a very cool place worthy of more time, but I was having such a great time in the Quiananmen Market section to the south of Tiananmen square that I wanted to stay in that area longer, which I did, and was rewarded late at night just before the cheap noodle place closed, to watch a local family restaurant dynamics at the end of the day. The bus boy dishwasher was worked about something and he was letting everyone know in a voice that would not be out of place between me and my precious pussy cat “Mangler”  when I am standing on her tail as she is shredding my leg with her razor sharp mouse killers between the bathroom and my morning coffee, anyway, the fur was flying and the  back and forth was hilarious as they kept at each other with about 6 staff all interacting for about 5 minutes and at the end of the day they all started laughing, now I don’t speak any Chinese but have been involved in that kind of tit for tat and for me that was the highlight of the trip, as I connected with that family group intimately as the fly on the wall contentedly slurping my excellent late night local noodles.

Money is the other thing that I spend a lot of time researching. I ran a small business and the rule of thumb that I learned is that you should have 2.5 times the budget that you think you need and for cheap travelers this is a bit higher than you want to hear I am sure but I would suggest that you have 1.5 available and that you have a reserve of at least 1 times more should something unplanned for happen, nothing worse than being a stranger in strange land making the universal rabbit ears distress signal with your pockets. 

Credit cards are good but bless that little Murphy’s impish soul, in times like these they can shut off for no readily apparent reason and if that is all that you are counting on life can get really interesting. I suggest that you have lined up in advance some back up like a rich uncle or other family member that you know will step up should the need arise. Major tip: People that owe you money are not good bets! Have your checking, saving, debit, Visa, MasterCard card information ready so that they can either do a bank to bank transfer or make a payment direct to your credit card. . American Express works great, but if you qualify you wouldn’t be reading this now would you! The safest bet is having a debit card with a easy pin as you can have someone make a direct cash deposit to your bank and then you get immediate access via a cash point or ATM.   Today banks have real people hours so the longest possible time would be 48 hours.   They can also make a Visa or MasterCard payment but they still might not sort you out and turn you back on if they know you are broke and playing in Asia instead of working hard to pay their legal loan sharking rates, and it usually has at least a 3 day wait.

I send all that banking information to a email account that I can get to from anywhere label it baby pictures or something else totally boring and send it to a Gmail my preference or Hotmail or Yahoo email account so that you can get at it. I also scan a copy of my passport and visas that are in it that you will need on your travels and my drivers license or ID card this makes a for an easy ID if you should lose your passport at the embassy or a bank.

Hey if I see you in Asia with the old look at the rabbits in my pants trick I know that you skipped the planning and I will gladly help you out with some good advice like put a bell on your precious pussy cat!

Background

Following the collapse of the prawn industry in the mid-80’s, an interesting industry slowly emerged in the early 90’s as dynamic and aggressive women entrepreneurs turned their expensive hobby into a multi-million profitable and enjoyable “sunshine” industry. This paved the way to the birth of the Floriculture Industry in the Province of Capiz. From an obscure industry, it grew to become one of the rapidly expanding agri-business sectors in the province today involving more than 5,000 stakeholders, florists, landscape artists, contractors, technologists, input providers, farm technicians and gardeners.

Capiz is a major producer of potted orchids and orchid cutflowers, landscape materials, fresh foliages and potted ornamental plants in the whole of the Visayas. It is also recognized as one of the sources of the best and rarest ferns in the country today. Presently, it is slowly building a name as the premier source of exportable cutfoliages in the country.

Roxas City leads in the number of producers in the province with ten (10) commercial farms located here. It is also considered as the marketing center with the presence of 4 trading outlets such as the Paseo de Catedral, Balay Kapisnon, Teodoro Arcenas Trade Center, and Talon Garden Center. It is followed by the municipalities of Sigma, Dao, Panay and Ivisan. As of December 2005, total land area devoted to floriculture is estimated to be more than a hundred hectares.

Underlying the strength of the industry is the Capiz Multi-Purpose Cooperative (CMPC) which serves as the primary coordinating body of the cutflower and ornamental plant growers province-wide. It works closely with relevant national government agencies (NGAs), local government units (LGUs) and industry associations to provide an enabling business climate for the industry to develop and grow. All of the big producers in the province are members of the Capiz MPC. It is a duly registered organization with the Cooperative Development Authority and Department of Trade and Industry.

The local ornamental industry cluster is composed of the core industries, the supplier industries, and other industries that provide related and other services. The cluster is made of interlinked and interdependent key and supporting industries and institutions.

How to go to Changi Air port:

Coming from Tanah Merah MRT, take the EW train in the direction of Changi Airport MRT train station. Eighteen minutes, two stops.

At roughly half the size of the 48 contiguous United States, Kazakhstan is the ninth largest country in the world, with spectacularly diverse geography and no shortage of places to visit. Northern forests gradually turn into wide flat steppes to more arid regions and finally to deserts in the south. Kazakhstan is rich in minerals and has large oil and gas reserves.

Islam and Christianity are the dominant religions, although religious tolerance is the widely recognized norm and, as a holdover from the Soviet era, many people profess no religious affiliation at all. The national character of the Kazakh people is hospitality. Steming from the country's longstanding nomadic culture, strangers are treated as honored guests. Respect for guests and the elderly as well as tolerance and peacefulness are ingrained from childhood.

Almaty, in the east, is the country's largest city and commercial capital. The ancestral home of the world's apples has been traced to this region. In fact, "Alma" means "apple." The Great Silk Road caravans came through this ancient city carrying spices, porcelain, silk and civilizing influences from the cultured Orient to the more barbaric west.

An over night train trip to the west takes you to the Baykonur Cosmodrome, home of the Russian space program. Once a secretly guarded location, Baykonur is now open to visitors where it is possible to tour the birthplace of space flight, visit the complex where the original cosmonauts trained and where today Russian flights to the International Space Station are launched.

About 100 miles (160 km) east of Almaty are the natural wonders of Altyn-Emel National Park. The region contains rare animals such as Siberian mountain goats, ancient Scythian burial mounds, rock drawings from 3500 years ago and the Kyzyl-Auyz Gorge where there grows the "stone tree" which has bark so hard that it resists an ax. The park also contains otherworldly "lunar" landscapes and the unforgettable "Singing Dunes," which make the sound of an organ in dry weather. Imperceptible movement of grains of sand sliding down the face of the dune in dry weather creates a vibration that becomes electrified in dry conditions, which coupled by resonant conditions in the surroundings, produces powerful sound waves that can be heard miles away.

Here too is Charyn Canyon, referred to as the younger brother of America's Grand Canyon, with deep, colorful gorges, spectacular rock formations and some of the world's finest hiking, canyoning and water rafting.

Your nerves are tingling and you are told to just relax and take deep breaths, as you helped into the special gear that will allow you to breathe in a new universe. A universe that you have heard from others is full of strange and wonderful creatures of all sizes and colors. After a few minutes of adjustments and safety checks, you are led to the exit, and just like the pirates of old, your are told to walk the plank, you take one more step and you are instantly surrounded by warm bubbles, and in the blink of a eye, you bob up to the surface, a large grin on your face, as your discover scuba dive in Asia begins.

Discover Scuba Diving or try dive or resort dives as they are sometimes called in Asia, are cheap and easy to find in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, the Philippines and the Hawaiian islands.

Thailand is one of the most sought after places for vacationing or taking a break to unwind by pampering yourself with exotic spa treatments. Thailand is home to the best spas in Asia and has bagged several awards including the AsiaSpa Awards where it received the title “Asian Spa Capital of the Year.” Thailand deserves this title as it has the most outstanding spa and wellness offerings in the region in terms of quality, quantity, diversity, authenticity of treatments, service and design. Thailand is at the forefront of bringing innovative spa concepts, environment-friendly spa treatments and exceptional hospitality services.

History

Introduced as early as in the 1990s, the spa industry has very recently sky-rocketed to achieve the reputation of being the second most popular spa destination in the world, just being slightly behind Australia. Initially seen as a fashionable trend among foreign tourists and expatriates, the spa industry has of late become popular among the locals also with more and more local Thais indulging in this novel therapy, one which rejuvenates them and alters their state of imbalance in their lives brought on by serious lifestyles and polluted environments. In the early days, spas were the luxurious privilege of 5-star hotels but now the scenario has drastically changed and you find spas mushrooming everywhere. Based on the reports released by Intelligent Spas, a Singapore-based research service, Thailand houses 2% of all the spas in the world and is the leading destination in Asia. Its industry also generates the largest annual revenue within the region.

Popularity

Thailand spas have become so popular because of its unique methods of spa treatments which are all derived from the deep-rooted harmony of Buddhist teaching. The treatments are truly revitalizing and ensure not only an energized body but also a spiritually sound and clam mind. Meditation and spiritual healing techniques are also adopted which leaves you with a feeling of spiritual nourishment and a rejuvenated well-being of mind, body and soul. The distinct “Thai touch” delivered in every spa experience is based on time-honoured herbal and holistic remedies and generations of folk wisdom and it is this factor combined with affordable rates that makes visitors coming back for more.

According to Andrew Jacka, President of the Thai Spa Association in Bangkok, Thailand has a special culture of spas which offers everything anyone would want in terms of variety of size, price and treatments. Although majority of the spas in Thailand are distinctively Thai, it also prides on its variety of innovative spas including urban spas, resort spas, luxurious destination spas, island wellness centres and holistic medical centres. Besides being awarded the title of spa capital, Thailand received the top recognition for “Destination Spa of the Year” for Six Senses Destination Spa Phuket; “Medi-Spa of the Year” for S Medical Spa in Bangkok; “Spa Personality of the Year” for Karina Stewart, Co-founder, Brand & Concept Director, Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary; and “Men’s Spa Treatment of the Year” for Man Space Healing Balance Massage offered at Residential Spa & Club, Grand Hyatt, Bangkok.

Future

The Thai spa industry, gathering all the awards and accolades is pushing forward like no other country. Much of the recent success of this industry is due to the tremendous support given by the Thai Spa Operators Association. They assist in the training of therapists to international standards and updating them on how to keep methods traditionally and distinctively “Thai-style”. Jacka believes that there is room for more opportunities to continue to raise standards, to continue to grow and to develop and maintain the present world market position. The association intends to continue providing the industry with educational support to improve the standards further more and envisions Thailand to become a world leader in the spa industry not long from now.
