CS> One day I'd love to get a month long Eurail pass and just travel about
 CS> Europe. Trains suit me well.  If you ever go to Japan and get to travel,
 CS> get the JR Rail pass (have to get it before you get here) and do same.
 CS> Japan trains are very nice.

That's for youngsters, nothing for me.
I like to come to a place (by airmail) and then discover the surroundings
with a car or a scooter but at Domenican that wasn't possible. They drove
like maniacs and not always where they should drive so there we went by
bus. They even overtook us on the right side and the one that had the best
lights at night didn't even bother to turn off the headlights....
Anf if a police saw a foringer driving they stoped him and wanted to see
the driving licence and then you had to pay him to get it back.
To have rom-bottle beside the stick wasn't optional, it was mandatory.
