  1. Asia is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. That said, it is also home about 44 tribes with absolutely no contact to modern civilization. They live alone, in the jungles of Indonesia and Papua. Some Asian countries have more mobile phones is use more than the total population. Hong Kong, for instance, has 2.36 mobile phones per person.

  3. As of 2012, there were more millionaires in Tokyo, Japan (460,700), than in New York City (389,100).                                                                                                                                              
  4. Only two places on the planet are home to wild orangutans-the island of Borneo (shared by Indonesia and Malaysia) and Sumatra (Indonesia). Both of these places are in Asia.
