Seems we have quite similar tastes! I read this book a few years ago and I agree it got a bit tired but the interesting thing for me (as you point out) is that in every area, even aid work there are certain ethical dilemmas. I would expect that doing aid work you would just feel quite virtuous all the time but it seems that there are different levels of aid work and some people are there making a martyr of themselves while others are trying to milk the system or as you say get an adventurous experience/ adrenalin rush.
