Very much the cultures. In Mexico, the place I love is Oaxaca--it is dry there, but not totally desert. And I hope to go to Veracruz, which I hear is not desert at all--more tropical coast. India I haven't yet been to, but there is so much history, art, religion, dance, food, and just culture in general--and in the very south, again the beautiful tropical coasts, and in the north, the mountains.
