For the most part, traveling as a tourist involves meeting new people, seeing beautiful sights and immersing yourself in a new culture. Sometimes, you are awarded with new impulses and insights into other ways of life.
At other times, travel involves a window into what living under a different form of government means. I was browsing through a copy of The Economist, one of the most reputable and respected publications on the planet, when I saw this huge, black square. The lead image in an article detailing the financial plight of the Los Angeles Porn industry had been blacked out with a magic marker. Apparently, the Malaysian government doesn’t want their citizens to see whatever was underneath; probably a naked bum or two.
Interesting.
