Hah. These places are fine to visit for a few weeks. One goes home
thanking one's lucky stars. However, you don't have time for the
whingers back in the UK. Don't know they're born.
I think the worst places I visited was Bolivia and Papua New Guinea.
Pretty grim in Venezuela too. For poverty that is. Great if you're a
wealthy tourist. You can enjoy the fat of the land. All the stuff you
can't afford at home!

Yes I take your point and how true.
I went for personal reasons though not as a tourist, true I did some
sightseeing but who wouldn't.
