would agree upon that, however there is a mixture of sadness with regards to the changes that occured - living twice in Srinagar / Kashmir / India was facinating - and the situation that there is today - but still being curious what it would be like. But as times changes - changes may occur again and one could maybe then go back. Then again there are still more than 150 countries still to see - and as I am approaching the turning point of the life expectancy curve of a male swede - I believe the midlle expectancy is 76 years of age - I will give it a try to see most of the remainder
