General Tips

Things to know that will make you look like a pro

Be leery of random people approaching you pretending to have business – including people pretending to be agent

Handler might be difficult to reach and not speak much English

Have plenty of cash on hand – many ATMs have no money to dispense

Catering is generally best from hotel

Can be difficult to get straight answer on important items

Not many good alternates

Security trained driver recommended for most places
