Can you drink the water in the hotel? What TV stations do you get? What radio stations? Can you pick up anything American on the radio like Armed Forces Radio?

Stay safe my friend.

I'm no electrician, but that can't be safe. Also, what's with the bumper guards? Protection for protection???? Have a great time. It's almost like a mini vacation with all the pics you're putting up.
