What do you think was the European trade impact on Asia?
"Europe's trade impact on Asia: first impressions" From the very first, European interests and colonistys have always declared that trade with Asia brought considerably more benefits to Asia than negative impacts. Europeans argued that it brought commerce, jobs, and eventually education, hospitals and social improvement. So what do u think?

It is hard to generalize lumping everyone together as European. Early countries such as Portugal and Holland made fortunes off the spice trade, and had little regard for the natives. However the British invested heavily in the infrastructure of modern day India and Malaysia, this helped both succeed. While countries like Vietnam and Indonesia failed, because of the lack of investment and training by their colonial rulers.

I would recommend flying from Los Angeles to Taiwan Taoyuan Int. Airport (TPE) to start your adventure. It's nearer to LA than Bangkok by 1500miles and Kuala Lumpur by 2000+ miles, and from Taiwan you can travel from one Asian country to another using the services of Air Asia who are, not only cheap, but a great airline too. http://www.airasia.com/tw/en/home.html To get to Taiwan from LA you have a choice of Malaysia Airlines, Eva Air and China Airlines and in terms of price they are in the same order. Whatever you decide, have a great time as I'm sure you will.

The Lebanese & Syrians have a bit more EUROPEAN ancestry as well as ARAB (Middle-eastern) ancestry. North Africans tend to look the most "ETHNIC" ARAB. North AFRICAN Berbers of MOROCCO have some Sub-Saharan (black AFRICAN) ancestry.
2 :
The Asian Arabs generally have Arab and European blood lines while the North African Arabs have a lot of Black, Arab and European blood (mainly Spanish, Portuguese and French). Most Asian Arabs have light skin from the European blood and wavy black hair from the Arab blood. And most North African Arabs (and when I say North African Arabs I mean North African Arabs and not Berbers) have really light skin from the Arab and European blood and kinky frizzy hair from the black blood. I don't know where the Asian Arabs got their European blood from but they probably got it because they traveled to different regions to spread islam and when they went to Europe they must have mixed with the locals or maybe its because the Arab countries of Asia are really close to Europe and blood must have been exchanged from region to region. The reason North African Arabs have black blood in them is because of centuries and centuries of trade in which Arabs from North Africa went further down south to West and East Africa and took many slaves and they mixed with them and married them. North African Arabs get their European blood because of the moorish invasion of Spain in which thousands and thousands of Arab North Africans invaded Spain and other parts of Europe (mainly France, Sicily and Portugal) to spread Islam and then they must have mixed with the locals. Then North African Arabs get their Arab blood because the Arabs from Asia conquered North Africa in 7th Century to spread Islam and they mixed with the natives. I should know because I'm Algerian. And thats the difference between Asian Arabs and North African Arabs.
