Probably good advice . Its just frustrating that, at no additional cost to them, I could do something convenient to me.

Baggage not much use as I was returning from vacation (travelling light) when arrested, jailed and deported. I could almost see my apartment from the jail but my suggestions that I stay there didnt go down that well !!

It did annoy me that when I paid the bribe to get a cell of my own, I didn't check that the water actually worked - and of course it didn't. Also not helped by the driver who was taking me to the deportation point the next day demanding a bribe as well

Whats the old saying : Worse things happen at sea
