Reality check Thank you Emma for the discussing the other side of tourism...the reality for people that live every day in what some tourists would consider "hell" even as they experience "heaven" in these exotic locations.
Well said Emma, I fully agree some perspective is needed in the West. BTW, i think a few Bankers should be drinking their Tesco OJ on the inside of a prison sell.
Oh ya, leave Bono alone!!!!!
2009 will be better Emma , great to hear of your exploits, at least some of them. I think this year will give you a chance to move forwards despite those very irritaing and annoying touts. beggars traders etc

Bugs Tell us about the bugs! If I am to ever even remotely consider doing what you're doing, I need to know how much of a threat they are! Have you been pillaged by giant scarabs or anything yet?
