A good read Jillian.

I had once booked, and later cancelled a trip to Egypt, after a friend returned from a harrowing experience.

Sudan, I cannot contemplate. I have suffered a lot while completing touring the whole of South East Asia.

Chaos, overpopulation, fraudsters and lack of infra make any place a strict no-no as far as I am concerned.

Which is precisely why I enjoyed reading this :)
