Residents systematically seek the slightest excuse to strike up a conversation and sell merchandise. Although she does not judge the country fundamentally dangerous, the Spanish woman affirms that locals are simply not used to seeing foreign women exploring the region on their own.

This observation is moreover shared by other vacationers met on site, like an American and a Moldovan woman who claims to have been followed. Beyond these oppressive requests, Clara Retamero deplores the difficulty of making friends there compared to Thailand, while being repelled by poverty and poor sanitation. If she does not forbid anyone from realizing their dream of escape, she calls for the utmost caution, confessing that she herself attracted all eyes by wearing inappropriate clothing.
