Methinks

to the form for reports there should be added two new topics:

1) When was the country, town etc. visited?

2) Was the journey done as a single, in a group, or as a package tour?

To evaluate the information given it is advantageous to know the time of the visit because some places change so fast that you don't recognise them anymore when you come back only a short time later. It is a different experience when you travel as a single than when you go with a package tour. You meet different people, you are not as protected, you have to use your wits to get where you want to go. Even when traveling as a single woman the experience is different than when you are with a boyfriend or with a group. You are more easily talked to etc.

Methinks ... see above.

Christl, I think you've made a very good point.

Yes, this would help readers very much. The "Introduction" to reports should be a short description of when and how one came to visit (or live) in the place and why.



If the year does not appear in the introduction, when quoting prices and rates (just the first)the year should be indicated like for example $35 (2005) and better in dollars, euro or showing the exchange rate; to remark that a room costs 5000 Pesos does not mean much for those unfamiliar with that destination and rates change quickly over years.



Just my two krugerrands (2007 KR1 = $635)

Christl and Rudi excellent suggestions. The same should be done for accommodation. It would also be a good idea to include the number of stars for accommodation. As it is, I find it difficult to use the accommodation list as I will have to read all to see to what price range they belong.
