This book talks about more than only the scenery - it talks about people, the way they treat their own elderly family members and the battles they fight to overcome problems. Reading the daily newspaper and watching news on TV provides further information and makes the author reflect on what is presented and happening. It opens a window on life in a different part of the world compared with some events here and past experiences of the author. The book is meant to bring news from other countries to further understanding between peoples of our planet and to induce a desire to go and see for themselves without fear and with an open mind.
