One of my life's strangest experiences was unexpectedly ending up in Cairo,
where there was a sort of [extremely cheap hotel full of Japanese
backpackers](http://www.joho.st/egypt/2001/07/post-10.html), part of which is
described below.

> インド方面からずっとやってきた人や、アフリカを中心に回っている人など、さまざまで、周辺の国への渡航方法なども、ここを訪れれば、かなり情報得られると思う。

I can understand how most of that works, but how does the word など function
here? Is it used when giving a list of examples?

question
grammar
How do the two occurrences of the word など function in this sentence?
など functions like "etc." You can see it commonly at the end of a list to
indicate "other stuff like this" without having to exhaustively list every
item out.
