Final comments
The area is beatuiful, it is really worth travelling around if you are a nature fan.

However, their culture is different, you should consider this before judging! You have to understand their way of thinking to understand their behaviour. Some might not seem open at first. But on the other hand you will not experience any power related differences, everybody is equal.
