This project must focus on explaining how to live or travel in a given country.

This is only a short presentation (tobe developed). Some chapters are listed below as examples.

General considerations

Many of the chapters could be well covered by external sources. It is not of our intention to duplicate them, but to reference interresting and proved sources from a single point (ex : tourism).

Some questions are rarely well detailled like those about way of life. This proposal mainly focuses on them.

This proposal could be implemented in different ways (to be discussed here)
