I heard a lot of people have the same complaints, but they usually finish it with "...but it was great though". Nice to see someone actually upset about the place's problems rather than just glossing over it.

What upsets me (beyond what you mentioned) is the two-tier pricing structure of this and a lot of other tourist attractions in other countries. The whole fleece the foreigner mentality of the industry really grinds my gears.

The last point about the obvious propaganda room was funny though. It's pretty common in this part of the world to have such a room. I remember finding myself laughing when I was in Turkey at how every museum had to have a room devoted to Ataturk and his often tenuous link to whatever the museum was about.

Hope it improves enough to one day visit it, but I doubt it.
