Anyone been to Cuba?
We visited Havana a few years back, surprisingly impoverished around the port.  A lot of beggars.

I promised myself not to get political here.  There's probably some kind of rule, too.  So. <twitch> No comment.

Kanchipuram

Known as the "golden city," Kanchipuram is located in India's state of Tamil Nadu. Considered an important and sacred Hindu city, it is home to over 100 Hindu temples. Several Dravidian style temples, built between the 3rd and 8th centuries, when the city was the capital of the Pallava empire and a center of Brahmanical and Buddhist culture, still survive there. Today, the city is famous for its high-quality silk saris.

I thought the Cubans would dress up Havana around the port for tourists, and maybe the did.  It was pretty bad by our standards.
