Au contraire... it is a very liberal place and the locals are free to do as they please,...drive without due care and attention, or need of licence whatever, half keep dogs and let them disturb all and sundry, they certainly have a liberal attitude to sexual encounters, unlike the Victorian attitudes of the West. Low levels of taxation if they bother at all. Sure, the place has got laws on the books, but little attempt to enforce them. I feel I have a level of freedom here I would not see in my own country. And don't even think to compare to that so called bastion of liberty (so they think), the USA... snared by their ancient outdated rules. Playing lip service to liberty.
Wherever you are returning to, good fortune.... my country, (UK) where transport is on strike, hospitals are unable to help you, or crime ridden USA, where various words are taboo and you cannot utter them and it's no go areas!
I shall stay here where people in the main mind their own business and do not preach how others should behave!
