Possibly there is no one monitoring this thread who is planning to go anytime soon. But, after reading this colorful guidebook, who knows? Maybe that'll be just the thing to make you decide on making a trip there! I love reading guidebooks like this, though, even if I know that I'm not going to make a trip to the place.
