your point is well taken. there are many places I would like to visit even though some remarkable ancient places are on the territory. in my younger I planned to travel from Turkey to ancient Carthage (Libya). alas I won't get there now.

I don't get overly affected by poverty. its much better than it was and more progress is being made in every impoverished place. but I've seen a few hungry days myself.
