When you do touristy things out of choice, you should refrain from making preposterous generalization of a country.
Any country is above and beyond what the tourists think it is.
Tourists have a blinkered mindset. As such, they only look for convenience in everything they see and do.
It is a traveller who is not only clear about what he/she wants to visit, but also as regards how to go about it.
No points for guessing the travelers are seldom judgemental and mostly refrain from making preposterous statements. Cheers
