  1. The US will list travel advisories or concerns about most countries, and it can be very valuable info especially in places that may be subject to instabilty in their governments or areas known to have health risks. Or if you have an inner city primary care physician and he has notices asking if you have visited certain countries, those may not be too safe to visit. A place that is a new tourist hot spot one week, may be where criminals target those tourists the next week eg the old San Pedro prison "tours" done by a Briton imprisoned in Bolivia and the subject of the book Marching Powder.

  2. Unless you've been in those jungles, you can't fathom how thick, dark, slippery and mosquito laden they are. I hitchhiked from Panama to Costa Rica on the Pan-American "highway". The jungle overgrows parts of the road so quickly, that the truckers maintain it by pulling over and pouring gas along the edge, setting it ablaze, then making sure it is out once the road is passable again. What looks like a short ride took almost all day. It was pitch black by the time we got to San Jose.
