Here is Georges Sam, a Virtual Tourist which seems to be more concerned than others by political issues when he does think about travelling. As he says, the question is about our relationship to the world, if we want to deal only with beautiful architecture and palmtrees when we travel. Georges Sam's motto : inform. |
Virtual Tourist is a site which allows its users to upload content in an intended [symbiotic] way. Travelers can make their own page, first introducing themselves and then uploading photos and comments on the trips they have done. Everybody can have a look on the others'pages, rate them or start a discussion on the forums which are specialized by country.
Virtual Tourist's website mostly involve western people or when from the thirld world countries, wealthy people, who wnt to discover foreigner countries most of the time in an independent, open-minded way. Most of the questions are pragmatic and .Although, political issues are not far away, people asking for example if Russians are well liked in Turkey ( which was answered in a very historical and political way, even if not always very precise ) or moreoften if american people can still go to this or that place. However, website's owner tries strictly forbids political issues on the forum.

Georges Sam's intervention on the Middle East Forum : He gives an article by Charles Recknagel found on an independent Iraqi radio's website which title is "Iraq, Is oil America's real Aim ? ". No reply has been received, neither from the website's owner nor simply by the forum's participants (not really interesting or boring question ?) |

Amother article extract from the egyptian newspaper "El -Ahram" about Turkey worrying for Turkmen in Irak : a speciel tip which gives a really different pont of view, as the website's goal is first to share different point of view and different cultures. |
