You would love it there. Chocolate is really cheap and food is too. Alcohol was expensive in the towns but cheaper than at home in the rural pubs. The people are very friendly and extremely trusting. There is hardly any crime there, even in the city.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable. John F. Kennedy.
Just pretending to be the 13th duke of wimbourne is pretty sufficient.
Same same when traveling in smelly foreign parts for me. A mix of John Wayne, Denzel Washington, and Elvis Presley.
