Wanted to say thank you for posting the link to that report. A few hours later I've just finished reading through the entire thing - what an incredible and eye opening blog to read. Helps to balance out some of the naivety I feel like many of us have when speaking at length about foreign destinations but never having a clue of what the actual experience is like. It's one thing to fantasize about these trips from the comfort of your couch and keyboard, but entirely different in reality. Problem one of the best reports I've read in recent years. ^
