SONJA CUHER: On behalf of Expert Village, this is Sonjia Cuher. Before you take a trip, you know, you gotta be somehow informed. You could be well informed or not informed at all, but it is better if you read your books, decide what to do, where to go, and also learn about the culture, the people, the art, and there so many books out there. Read a travel book, lots of good information there and also just check out the library. And if you decide, for example, that you want to visit the plains, the Nazca plains, read about it so once you are there you understand much better what they are talking about. If your interest is about the Incas and the Inca culture, and al the ruins, get a book. You know, I bet you're going to be better informed than many of our own people there, but it's also fun because it becomes personal, it's something that you already know. And of course, if you decide to the Amazon, there are thousand of thousand of guide books with gorgeous pictures. I mean, you are going to prepare not just your mind, but also the expectations are going to build up that once you actually get to see that, it's gonna--it's like a dream and you have accomplished what you went for.
