As the mechanic is working on the vehicle, have a taste of a popular local snack or when your car has been fixed, you can drive to one of those ‘mama put’ restaurants to have a taste of their cuisine.
- Lost travel documents
Amidst thousands of luggage, you could not find yours. You become hysterical because your travel documents are well-packed in the luggage. Passport, Visa and other important documents are gone with the luggage.
