The Ugly: Many old towns are poor and you may find yourself in a hotel that hasn't been renovated in decades. Some of the more backward villages only recently have added indoor plumbing. People are very blunt and will say what they think. The above also means that you may notice a random couple engaged in sexual relations in an alleyway, or worse, you may see a dead body laying in the street somewhere. There are a lot of stray animals, and a significant number of them are not well kept after.
