I counted three places I have been to on that list. China, Brazil and Saudi Arabia. I guess China and Brazil requirements have changed, for the most part, up another 30 bucks each from 100 bucks. So 130 for the visa entrance. Saudi Arabia was provided courtesy of Department of Defense back during Gulf War.

That, obviously, is one hell of a dinner. You are quite the trencherwoman.Originally Posted by mrs767er

Very FUNNY!!
I had a similar discussion in another forum with a lot of info exchanged. I forgot you guys...but I think we've gotten some of it covered in a different thread. My brain is frozen right now and having blonde and grey moments these days, I guess we'll consider dinner over.
Maybe I'll add more later...

Agree! I went to China a few in the past and discover nothing as being challenging like the author here mentioned. Program is needed everywhere and anywhere. Just adhere to the training and be honest and intelligent about what you do.
I've been to many countries in North Africa and the Middle East (Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, UAE, Israel, Palestine, and Turkey). I highly recommend Morocco. If you have questions about that place or any others, don't hesitate to PM me.
You're obviously accustommed to the North Africans.
I've no issue with most Egyptians--many are very friendly and kind.
Moroccans we've encountered on a nonrev trip, on the other hand, were rude, mean and dirty. Men were outright lascivious and several times, physically "grabby". We decided, upon return from our only visit there, to never go back again. Their entitlement for baksheesh went way beyond the expectations and demands of the Egyptians I dealt with in 2 visits.
Let the French and Brits go there for cheap holidays.
I agree with you about Jordan--lovely people and Petra is worth more than one visit.

Yeah, I'm a guy so my experience may have been different at least partly for that reason. Gender mistreatment is oft-cited issue for travelers in that part of the world.
Aside from the leering at me and occasional groping in crowds, my husband made it clear 2 days before we left there that he would never set foot in the country again. The male French ex-pats were just as disgusting toward women.
