About this Broadcast
Laos to Hawaii
The final leg of Simon's journey along the northern tropic begins in Laos, where he takes a boat down the Mekong River, and in Vietnam he investigates the trafficking of young women into China. Simon then heads to Taiwan where he visits the typhoon-damaged central highlands and he concludes his trip in Hawaii, which he discovers may not be quite the paradise the tourist brochures claim
