Fred,
The posts, including yours, seem to be going round in circles. The issue

Tim,
I think every country discriminates against non-nationals in some way or

Hi Mervyn,
Many thanks for info about odd restaurant practices in Dar. I was there, off
and on, many years ago but missed the unusual opportunity to be able to
