There's more I want to say and show in the follow-on sections related to the way the country runs, but as an interim comment now, for me, it's definitely a case of 'see for myself' rather than help from a distance, main reason being that direct contact with those who are feeling the effects of the regime holds more value for me. I'm not trying to devalue any other approach, just saying what I prefer.

This time around it was just another holiday without the intention to become interested in the country from another aspect. Future visits will be geared more to the latter. As these will be some distance off I hope that until then I may use distance learning from a variety of sources to gain a better overall understanding.
