Reminds me of P.J. O'Rourke's book:
Holidays in Hell
by P. J. O'Rourke
ISBN: 0-8021-3701-6 / ISBN-13: 978-0-8021-3701-2
US $12.00 - 5 1/2 x 8 1/4, 272 pp - July 2000
Description:
P.J. O'Rourke travels to hellholes around the globe in Holidays in Hell, looking for trouble, the truth, and a good time. After casually sight-seeing in war-torn Lebanon and being pepper-gassed in Korea, P.J. checks out the night life in communist Poland and spends Christmas vacation in El Salvador. Taking a long look at Nicaragua, P.J. asks, "Is Nicaragua a Bulgaria with marimba bands or just a misunderstood Massachusetts with Cuban military advisors?"; has a close encounter with a Philippine army officer he describes as powerful-looking in a short, compressed way, like an attack hamster"; and concludes, "Some people are worried about the difference between right and wrong. I'm worried about the difference between wrong and fun."
"Whether you agree with him or not...he writes a helluva piece."—Richard Nixon

And while in beautiful Iraq, make sure you do some backpacking along the Iranian border. Always a fun and interesting time.:rolleyes:

Free "room and board" at an "exclusive" Iranian "bed and breakfast... and more" for an unlimited stay IS included, plus the chance to meet former President Bill Clinton at some point!
meet former President Bill Clinton at some point!
You had me packing my bags until that line, then you oversold it.
