Yeah I like #5 too… I think another one of my reasons would have to be like stacy’s… for the history element.

Cambodia was pretty amazing and harrowing in that respect, Vietnam was a bit of a let down for me.

All great reasons, but I really like #5. I always like hearing different perspectives from people who live in other places. People/governments can get so focused (and arrogant) on their own concerns they don’t think about the other side.

Rita from Tales of a Female Nomad wrote about that a lot, and it was so interesting to read, especially regarding the U.S. and the people in Nicaragua.
