Well I'm amazed!
Well done! it is and I owe you a drink when we next meet!!
I was there during the Civil War, getting a visa wasn't easy and the only hotel open to western visitors was the Hilton, it stands in its own grounds and has an outside pool fed by geothermally heated water.
There was a dawn to dusk curfew, strictly enforced for the majority. I went to see the local distributor, part of Inchcape, who had a permit allowing him to go out after dusk, up to 11pm. He took me up to the Church in his Golf, which struggled at 3200m.
And why did the government buy 1000kg of Dichlorophen BP to make tablets a year? Because the national Easter dish involves raw pork, so to make sure that tapeworm was kept under control they distributed tablets.
The drug works, but it isn't nice and the treatment is no longer considered safe.... there are far nicer antihelminthic drugs.
