It Is Hard Out Here for a North American Tourist



As the value of Dollar value continues to shrink compared to all other foreign currencies, even Canadian Dollar is worth more than the US Dollar. Prices are soaring, jobs are disappearing,, homes are foreclosed, stocks are falling…etc.
The real victims of the devaluating of the Dollar are the American tourists. For two reasons: if they decided to go to other countries, say Japan, Europe and other tourist attractions, their money is not worth much, so tourist can buy fewer goods. The second reason is that with the dollar's value going down, many Asian and European tourists flood the United States to have a good time. Needless to say their money can buy them so much here in the states. The dollar used to be 4.5 Shekels a year a go, now it is around 3.5 Shekels for the dollar. So the more foreign tourist visit the States, the more prices for hotel rooms, restores and car rentals go up; supply and demand.

Let's be honest, tourists find the French to be obnoxious and rude; the Italians are disorganized and loud; the Japanese are weird and uptight; the British eat crap and are overpriced; the Koreans are 50 years ahead of us; the Egyptians always want to sell you crap.

With the help of friends, I decided to look for a number of alternative vacation spots for Americans to enjoy till the dollar regains its value. These locations are rather unusual, but still offer so many attractions to see:

Central Africa

Time for an explosive vacation! Invest in real estate in the heart of Africa, trouble is everywhere! Run for your life.
Chechnya
Chechnya is a prefect place to have a low key vacation, since you will have to be on your knees most of the time, dodging bullets and sneaky Russian operatives.
Colombia
Buy drugs wholesale price! Go on and get kidnapped! Perfect place to lose weight, Hugo will help in your release, once you lost half of your weight! Get your 15 minutes of fame. Please pick up some fresh coffee beans in your way back to States.
India & Pakistan
Indian took your jobs, Pakistanis took your money. It is time to go and be part of something big! Time to retrieve both your jobs and your money! Pakistan offers a bigger bang for your buck! Pakistan: Have a Banging Vacation!
Indonesia
Maybe, the fact that the next American president has lived there for a good chunk of time, might be attractive. There are always the nice friendly beaches
Iran
Americans brought peace, and democracy to two of its neighbors. It’s only logical that these guys are warm towards Americans, perhaps too warm. sure they won't let you in legally, but this has never stopped immigrants coming from south the borders.
Iraq
Since the green fad is hot right now, go to Baghdad’s Green Zone, a place both green and hot. Hey, they all love Americans there, I mean they brought them peace, justice and the American way. This is a one way ticket to heaven, the only way you are going is up.
Israel/Palestine
Are you tired of the countless movies you have seen? All genres: drama, action and even dark comedy? Isn't time that you star in one? Most likely it would be a documentary of your dramatic death or imprisonment?
North Korea
The exchange rate is in your side in this fascinating country run by a lunatic. Lunatics make life more exciting and less dull. You will be surprised!
South Africa
Your government supported their government, right or wrong, the States has always bee supportive of this African nation! Never mind that the US has placed Nelson Mandela on no flight list (this is actually true)
Sri Lanka
This is your cup of tea! Literary the majority of the world teas come from this small island! The most deadly suicide bombers in the world, highest kill rate of suicide bombers, they put extremist in the Middle East to shame! An adventure of a lifetime.

The Essential On your Trip:
1-The number to call the Marians, when things get scary. They are few though.
2-Blackwater, when things get muddy and the marines got a bigger fish to fry, call up these guys for extra protection.
3-Get Fake ID and memorize the Canadian National Anthem, knowing the provinces is a plus.
4-Make sure to have your account number and bank routing number, in the likely events you might get abducted, when it comes to paying the ransom, this information can come in handy.
5- Keep a low profile and memorize “I disagree with the United States Government, I voted for Gore” in all local languages, even thought you may do like the government and have not voted at all.
