    A Challenge

    There's a lot of you that go on vacations on here...


    Instead of Florida, Hawaii, or the every popular $hithole Mexico, travel to some of the world's treasures. Dubai, Buenos Aires, Sau Paulo or Rio, Astana, Moscow, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh, Sharjah, Ankara, or Shanghai.

    The world is huge... and the developing world showcases a lot of what humanity is able to accomplish... a lot more so than western Europe or North America.

    Catch an exotic disease or get stabbed and get to experience the health care system in the developing world. Sounds like a great plan!

        The challenge will be , for us normal folk , is going to be able to afford anything after paying for fuel and extra carbon tax b/S taxes. Overseas vacations will be completely out of the picture for most of us going forward.
        Should have done that 20 years ago before kids came along I guess

            An objective test of how great those places are is to ask yourself if you would want to stand trial in any of them over canada. I thought so.

            Shiny buildings dont tell the whole story.

              Argentina's president doesn't publicly criticize a court decision that's brought down by a jury of peers...


              I'm not sure about other countries tries I've mentioned... But don't recall anything like that in the news.

                  Of the ones listed above, which have you holidayed at and would recommended to others. Buenos Aires is the only one I would go visit.

                  Moscow great place for all the Putin admirers on here to go visit.

                    LOL, the same "normal folk" that were upset at the possibility of having to pay an increased tax rate on their income over $200,000 once all their expenses were paid?
                    Carbon tax putting vacations out of the picture? - come on the carbon tax is a fraction of the price increases regularly put on fuel by the oil companies.
