Interesting

Interesting

But the WWWWW's of the survey would be more interesting.

Any country can be a big place - and most tourists are kinda' "me" oriented - which can irritate people who deal with them a lot.

If you know some of the lingo and get away from the tourist traps I'd think most folks are at least interested in you.

Hikers should read this list before going to Iraq

Not many "austere" destinations there.

I found New Zealand (outside the big cities) was very friendly.
