Greasy finger-prints

I was sick last week, then got better, went traveling on the long Easter weekend and now got little sick again. And the pills are too big to swallow. Although some years ago I saw on TV how drug smugglers in Asia swallow 5 times bigger pills for transportation and then shit them in a destination. They are dead if even one capsule breaks in the stomach. I wonder if people there think twice before taking the drug if they know where it’s been.

By the way, Egypt still hasn’t renewed my visa, but apparently it wasn’t a problem on the weekend in the various check points in Sinai. The most vivid moment of the checkpoints this weekend is the smell of the passport and greasy finger-prints on the sheets after being checked by one eating police officer.
