The country is interesting but not as beautiful as perhaps Thailand and there is a huge problem with pollution, the beaches not particularly clean and the marine reserves have been overfished and exploited by the rapidly increasing population.(Half the population of 79 million is under 25)The people are quite cold and not particularly open and friendly apart from a few we met. It is worth a visit but does not live upto the hype! . mark clement");
