1. Admiring the ring-shaped coral reefs and the spectacular beaches full of palm trees from the plane
2. Exciting to watch the dramatic tide changes
3. The easy smile and zest for life of the poor people
Kiribati - no comment - Viktor Ohotin's photo
1. Apart from enjoying the beaches, not much to do for tourists
2. Deep poverty – miserable huts
3. When the tide is low, you can see that the beaches and lagoons of the main island (Tarawa) are full of trash – shatters illusions about Oceanian paradise
4. Not much choice for accommodation
5. Very expensive to get there, and in exchange, you do not get any extraordinary experience apart from the beauty of the sea
6. Sad to hear that the country may disappear by the end of this century (rising ocean level)
7. A lot of trash in most of the settlements and on the side of the roads
8. It is almost impossible to discover much of the country as traveling among the islands is very complicated
9. Public buses are often overcrowded
