Can you believe that some countries allow you to book one-way tickets, pay in cash within 24 hours of the flight, carry liters of liquid onto the aircraft, and fly without removing your shoes?

It's a refreshing experience.

Then, of course, when I left the country I had to remove my shoes, along with every other US-bound passenger.
