What a great fellowship! But, it's too many places in 9 months. If you truly want the other view, you have to steep in it. Otherwise, it's just a trip through a 3D movie. It's cool, but it's not the other view. It's just your view of "them," and if you're not careful, you spend your time hanging out with other Western travelers. You leave home but you don't actually leave your own culture. 一路順風！
