3. Do not take public transportation, only take private tourist transportation.
4. Pay a lot of money for your trip.
I have known for years that tourist love countries for simple reasons.
1. Tourist are not in the country long enough to get annoyed.
2. They do not live in the country, they live in a Five Star Hotel in the country, not the country, I am positive the locals do not live in Five Star conditions.
3. Their transportation works, it functions and it is comfortable designed special to all the tourist to avoid the conditions of the country.
4. If you pay a lot of money, a person normally does not have the ego and emotional strength to tell everyone, include themselves. “I made a bad decision.”
Bottom line, go live in a Five Star Hotel and look out the window, stay less that two weeks so you do not get to understand the country, after two weeks you slowly begin.

I've always enjoyed going "LOCAL" . Jumping on the back of a jeepney and see where it takes me. Usually to someplace unexpected and worth the trip.

Part of the charm for me is to get to understand the country, go local, talk to people and travel for sometime, such a short, expensive visit kill all the fun
