Mackie 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2004 (edited) Be very, very, very careful when U cross the road.........traffic flow is opposite of what U're used to here and common disregard of traffic laws made crossing a nightmare. Another tip. Young men in wooden clogs may belong to a certain "club" which U could do well to avoid contact or close proximity.
