along the way?

ANSWER: I had no prob-
lems travelling alone as long
as I didn’t go -looking for
trouble. In most cases, South
America is safer than home
for wandering the streets
(EXCLUDE:BOGOTA, LIMA
AND A FEW. OTHER
PLACES).

QUESTION: Gail, if you were
going’ again, are there any
cuuntries you would avoid.

ANSWER: The Middle-East.
I’m only going by what I have
heard as I haven’t been
there. The political situation

is ‘‘upheavel at a moment’s~
notice’* and

recommend it.

I have been in Bolivia
during a revolution, Thailand
during a coup, and Greece ,
during the uprising between .*
the Cypriots. I feel these
instances were blown out of
proportion by the news-

The reason? One gram of papers and television. But the.

It’s his own fault. There is
a large sign at the airport
which says, ‘‘Minimum
sentence for people charged
in drug offences -is «ten

help you if you get put away.

met have been very congen-

they’ll ignore you, most of
the time.

the most aggressive, bet a
firm ‘‘no’’ will usually put
them in their place. If .not,
