Ok, let me see, a travel writers is a person who travel and writes, often I find they do not travel, but that is another story.

Simple, when they refuse to say or explain the price, I truly lose all trust or faith in their opinion; I feel they are trying to maneuver me into buy an expensive tour. Money and travel are connected at the hip, it is impossible to disconnect.
Does the Lonely Planet Guidebook tell me the prices?
Yes
Does the Rough Guide tell me the prices?
Does Footprints Guidebooks tell me the prices?
Yes, yes and more yes.
There is a reason they sell many guidebooks, because they accept there is a connection between the word travel and the price.
Im planning a trip to Uganda and I have to say it is quite hard to find a proper guidebook. However I have found one - it is from 70s and thats why it is not really up to time but there are some great tips.
I was watching some travel show about Indian food and it showed the guy travelling all over India trying all kinds of interesting stuff. He mentioned it was affordable. Why couldnt he just tell the prices?
I hate how money is a taboo subject in our culture.
