The only time I remember encountering a similar attitude was when we had our RV broken into and one of the police who attended started to say something disparaging to his colleague - until I began speaking to him in french, when he became more reasonable. That obviously didn't work for you. Incredible when their business must rely on trade from foreigners as well as the locals!Jennytchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621488409334115930noreply@blogger.com
