I totally agree with you KB!
Let them run their own country, We're just VISITORS!!! If more people would listen to the local advice rather than presume "third word people" have "third world ideas" than maybe sometimes things would turn out better.
Case and point being the wreck on the reef two months ago. They should have listened to the locals!
They live there!!!! They know how to handle things in their own country, We dont!
I love my country and am thankful that I have had the oportunity to grow up in a "free" country but as a tourist and American I am sometimes embarrassed. Sometimes the stigma that we have makes me sick.
Get off your High Horses and I'll now get off mine.
Roll a FATTY, Something ... Just chill out!
