4. Gov't 'Travel Advisory Countries' visited: Freedom & Corruption.
......We were given a list of 'travel advisory countries' prior to departure.
......Here are Canada's & USA's Advisory countries in this part of the world.
......We rode through most of them:
...........- Libya (crossed it)
...........- Syria (crossed it twice)
...........- Iran (crossed it)
...........- Pakistan (crossed it)
...........- India (some of it)
...........- Bangladesh (wanted to, but there's no way out heading east)
...........- Myanmar (brief visit but could not obtain a drive-through visa)
...........- Thailand (crossed it)
...........- Cambodia (crossed it)
...........- Indonesia (crossed it)
......So much for the 'advisory' countries. No big problems.
......They are not to everyone's taste, but we liked most.
......You might be interested to compare these travel advisories
......with our actual experiences.
......Click image below for a list of countries visited/planned,
......with their objective 'Corruption' & 'Freedom' rankings by NGOs
.......Not sitting on a moralistic pulpit here; we really liked some of the
.......'worst ranking' places – but these are interesting aspects
.......to know. Also interesting how the economies correlate ...
.......Do not take poor rankings as discouragement from visiting;
.......we are so pleased we went to all these places with open eyes.
.......Merely another aspect of local reality.
.......We got slightly burned by corruption/freedom in a few places, see blogs.
.......But them's the minor occupational hazards.
