Hah. These places are fine to visit for a few weeks. *One goes home

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

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.

My wife is a parrot nut so we go wandering about on the buses in
various tropical countries look at wild ones. I used to write for
various magazines to get some money back. Heh Heh.
Strange things often happened to us.
