[quote=DODGER,487505]Matt, When a foreigner stays at a hotel they have to register at the local PSB. What seems to confuse them is when you camp. There does seem to be a certain amounts of paranoia in the PSB wanting to know were foreigners are all the time. We did encounter one dodgy incident when, what turned out to be the local thug tried to extort a ‘camping fee’ from us. About a dozen people turned up on motorbikes and we thought we may have had a problem. As it happens, they had just come to watch the show. The thug called the cops. They arrived promptly about an hour latter, looking a little irritated, probably having to leave their lunch and girlfriends. Too tired to leave their car, they simply wound down the window. We waved and smiled, they smiled and waved back, then drove off . Our thug looked angry after missing out on what had looked like an early Xmas, our crowd of would be Hells Angels looked disappointed at missing out on what they had anticipated to be cheap seats to a WWF show. Me? I just sat down and had another beer, still I might add with that ‘ I’m just a stupid foreigner’ look on my face. A further thought; don’t drive at night when out of big cities and don’t park at the side of main roads. Cheers, Dodger. [/quote]
