Summary
This stage of Simon's journey begins on the island of Sri Lanka. With its strategic location and tropical spices, Sri Lanka was a target for invaders and colonisers for centuries. Now the Chinese are building a huge new port in the south. Heading north, Simon investigates one of the Indian Ocean's fastest growing industries - providing prawns for the West. This leg of his trip ends in Bangladesh, where Simon witnesses one of the most amazing sights of the whole Indian Ocean: the ship-breaking beaches of Chittagong.
