I have travelled the world a fair bit and when i visited Cleveland i came to the conclusion that the worse a place is the nicer the people are., as that was the worst place i had been too up to that time and the people were terrific.. However much later i visited a place called Hiraklion (the aitch is silent and i'm sure i spelled it wrong), this is the capital of the Greek island of Crete. Well this is a truly rotten place and so are the people, so i guess you can be wrong. We have been talking about security, the minute I got off the plane I got abused in Greek by the airport security for taking photographs around the airport, they gesticulated vigorously towards signs in Greek that evidentally said that you can't take photographs or similar. Then a few days later right at the far end of the island near a place called Harnia I was again taking movies opf 3000 year old ruins this time and how was i to know that in the far distance there was a naval base, fullof warships, I coulkd barely see it, it was so far away. We'll I had some more of officialdom accost me a tried to grill me, again in Greek, they gave up after a while as they just couldn't make me understand too much and they had a hell of a time with my Sydney version of English. Well anyway they made a note in Greek in my passport, didn't they. Years later I was travelling through the customs gate from Tijuana to San Diego and the lady border guard got interested in me as I was an Aussie and she asked about the notation on my passport in Greek and I said it had to do with operating a video camera in Greece. She took my passport away and spoke to someone else in the distance and gave my passport to them. I thought to myself I'm in trouble here, but she came back and she said the other guy could read Greek and he didn't qute understand what they were getting at or why they had put any notation on my passport at all. So the moral of thge story is , well I'm not sure what it is but don't do it these days is my advice. By the way do not get the idea that i didn't like Crete i loved it but Hiraklion is the pits. regards Ian
