inwrought at times, dependent in time. intimately blended and delicately torn. land and c**ture deconstructed and soon after reborn. the inventions are present but the purpose is gone. tourism; terrorism, is there always a difference? a getaway from the everyday, a colonial effort in reciprocity. the tourist consumes difference collecting images rather than experience. while the authentic recedes behind a developing industry; economic growth at some cost. redesigning, redefining, reiterating the same paradise lost. fifteen thousand rooms in one peninsula. gift-shop till you drop, curing pop c**ture shock. don't forget to send a f****** postcard.
