The guesthouse would only allow me out for a walk with a security guard (bit embarrassing at first). Went to the famous Chicken Street (tourist tat, sans tourists), and not a chicken in sight.
Mike, my co-researcher arrives later. I'm excited about our project: we plan to investigate what kind of political and economic system university students want, and whether their opinions and values change with education. How do students see their place in society and their country’s place in the world? Does education increase inter-personal trust? Does education change how people feel about other countries? Many people tried to discourage me from coming, and I know it's a bit dodgy, but understanding what students want and how they relate to other groups and nationalities has the potential to contribute to stability.
