#2 Isn't risking being abducted by the restless natives part of the thrill? Tough luck if you happen to get shot, though, I think those kidnappings used to be a whole more kabuki that what they are now.

#6 Actually, Mojo, San'na the capital has some very interesting architecture, mostly carved out of bare rock. They also have some really nice beaches, some of which go back dozens of miles from the water. No crowding, no jostling, no worry about someone else splashing sand into your picnic lunch. If you happen to be interested in archeology, there's quite a bit that's interesting. The only drawback is the "quaint" natives...
