That said, at 20% off, the country is more competitive on the international tourist circuit.

Heck, the beer and wine is like 20% of the cost!
Hmmmm, touchy! It's not about forgiveness, I'm just disappointed that you're repeating the mistake of returning here and ignoring the advice to stick to places that aren't out of your league.
