Travel
I've had guns pointed at me in many different countries, sometimes even by our own side. I've also sat on my own on a beach on a desert island, which was nice because nobody was trying to shoot me. Tell us your tales of foreign travel.
Thanks to SnowytheRabbit for the suggestion

I've been to one of those places.
It was a time share in Cabo San Lucas that a radio station was giving out five days/four nights for Cinco de Mayo. My girlfriend won the contest, so off we went.
We did spend one full day at the resort, swimming and eating and drinking to our hearts' content, but one day of that was enough. The resort had us listen to their sales pitch for an hour and a half, delivered by a stunningly beautiful Mexican woman who looked like Eva Mendez and Salma Hayek had a love child, in exchange for three days' free use of a rental car. After that the resort was merely a place to eat and sleep. The rest of the time we spent exploring the tip of Baja.
I saw a lot of the people who clearly never left the compound, and have often wondered about them. Do they really have that little curiosity about a foreign country? Are they so complacent that all they want is to be fed and boozed in the sun for a week?
I have no desire to ever go back to such a resort.
