  • Favorite Thing: While on one of my motor bike trips i had to put petrol in the tank, i thought about it for few minutes and relised that i had not seen any petrol stations.
    So as i road along i was looking for station when i saw a sign saying fuel, i pulled over and found that the fuel ispumped from a 44 gallon drum, They pump the fuel into a glass bowl with numbers on it, you tell them 50 batt of fuel thanks and then they just put a hose into your tank and wait till the fuel level drops to the 50 batt mark on theglas bowl and then your away.

     I agree, Don. We have often eaten at places that are the type we're told are not safe, but have never had a problem, only cheap, delicious food.
