Three times I tell you. Three times I have been asked for bribes. Twice at Nepali imigration and once on a train by the police. Five or six police officers with semi-automatics entered the carriage somewhere in Biha. They were searching peoples bags in the hope of finding someone to harass. When they found my laptop it was too good to resist. They also couldn’t understand the concept of toliet paper and CD’s. Eventually they wanted a demo of my laptop. I had to insert three or four CD’s. Anyway they fished for a while for a bribe or something along those lines. Eventually they gave up. Malyadri said the right things and they disapeared. Praise the Lord I was praying they would.
