Exotic flora and fauna. Interesting natives, who are in the main very forth-coming in getting to know you, and always willing to relieve you of the burden of lugging all your food and luggage around. You'll never forget your adventures in Jimland. Once experienced you'll keep coming back for more. In fact, you might never leave!"
