Another friend, much younger, during the Bu$h years went there to conduct research but actually had to go in the guise of a nun to be able to do her research unmonitored. I suspect that going as a tourist would have many benefits but I wonder about what others see and what I might see and how it would be different than their perspectives. My best friend was a tourist, world traveler and very well informed. I think she didn't like the political aspects as well and the abject poverty. The researcher had some rather circumspect views that I appreciated, she was studying the health concerns of the prostitute population. She said they have the best healthcare she had seen in any country because it's socialized and since their trade is recognized, they are well tended to. Interesting stuff but I am getting old and not so inclined to take certain risks when traveling. But I love to go where the music is good!
