The original poster asked some questions looking for helpful answers. Unfortunately, some have tried to turn this into a political thread. I have removed several of those unhelpful comments, many of which included personal attacks. I don't want to see this go to OMNI as it should be a forum where travelers can ask questions and get straight-forward responses based on experience sans any political/religious commentary. Political events in a country have an impact on travelers, so those are certainly important to mention, but to turn it into a thread about your own thoughts and opinions on that is entirely inappropriate.
Please stick to the questions posted. Those who refuse to do so may find their posting ability on FlyerTalk curtailed.
