If you can, try to get a portable antenna (that would be a Plus

Never been to Asia, but any small Sangean portable would be able to
pick up the BBC and other strong powerhouses in English. Try the
Sangean 606A. It's a pocket portable that is extremely sensitive which
costs less than $100. I travel to South America a lot and I always
take it with me in my travel pack. Good luck.
