...Babel where more than 200 Americans and most of the 900-strong Polish force work and live alongside 100 Mongolians, 62 Romanians, 46 Armenians, 36 Bosnians, 27 Ukrainians, a Lithuanian, a Latvian and a bunch of Ugandan guards. Together they and their numbers posted in urban outposts endure frequent mortar and rocket attacks. Between June and July they were hit with at least 350 rockets and mortar shells, Leckrone said...

Keeping tabs on the new small hotels and knowing which ones have experienced declines in service require frequent visits. We loved one of the chic co-owners of Barwara Kothi, a new guesthouse in Jaipur. The food was delicious, and the Art Deco home where her in-laws' family entertained a maharajah has a good ambiance. However, it was noisy, though the owners have since planted barriers and reinforced windows. Also, be warned that some large travel operators snub the small hotels because the commissions paid...
