It is Avery poor country, but the people are incredibly happy and friendly. One memory I will have forever was watching parents walking their children home from the school bus stop laughing and playing. So different than so many places here where the parents are constantly mad and yelling at their kids. It does the heart good.

It is not much to fly, and if you want to try out being "native" and not gringo, it is very inexpensive. Imagine a 4 course lunch for $3.00 each. Of awesome home cooking with local grown fruits and vegetables .
How does a "vacation" give anyone a basis for evaluating healthcare in any country???? You probably would need to get sick in that country, and then it is still only one individual experience.
