A brain teaser for Sunday afternoon ....

You have to guess which country this is ... I reckon its not far off the ideal for bachelors in many ways :..... ( having spent a lot of time there recently :) )

Starting with what's really important :


Beer : about 40p a bottle for Premium Lager :beer:

Women : local customs dictate that if you accept a drink or 2 from a guy in a bar - then its OK to have sex with him :yes: - ( note: 80 pence ! )

Food : A meal for 2 at an upmarket restaurant £6 - £10. :lick:

Weather : warm and sunny most of the time

Driving : Lowest per capita car ownership in the World - so no irritating traffic jams :D - good roads too. :driving:

( also has highest roads deaths per capita too :eek: )

Speed cameras: didn't see any

Scenery : Great beaches and mountains

Servants : A full-time maid ,cook or gardener cost about £20-25 per month each

Bachelor Pad overlooking the water: VERY cheap

Sports : Good water sports and cheap diving

Language : They all speak English


Sounds good so far ???......... Guess where it is.

you are getting close(ish) - bit less developed than S.A ( and sadly beer isn't 40p in S.A )- but similar in other ways.
