Abstract
A postgraduate field excursion arranged to Sri Lanka by the Department of Geography, University of Trondheim, in 1981 is described. An assessment of the purpose and outcome of an excursion to a developing country is made. On the basis of impressions from Sri Lanka, questions concerning the geography of begging and mass tourism are posed. Finally, impressions of different types of international development assistance lead on to concluding remarks about the interplay of different value systems confronting development geographers and historical geographers alike.
