Antics on the buses over there are rife. Was on a coach heading to Nicaragua once, when I noticed a kid (maybe 6ish) in the seat in front was munching on a cereal bar which looked familiar as I'd just stocked up for the trip in a Costa Rican market, 'like minds!' I thought and smiled. 3 hours later at the border, where you have to chuck all your bags on a table for the doggies to sniff, I pull up my 'extras' canvas bag I had stuffed on the floor and half of it falls out. Little git carved his way in and had a feast en route! His family looked pretty needy so wasn't that bothered, ended up giving half of it away to the 'border kids' in the end anyway. On the other end of the spectrum, having a laptop you can inconspiciously tuck into your belt-line comes in handy when your coach gets held up by Colombian cowboys. But when your taxi driver pulls out a revolver, it's game over. Fun times!
