Lessons of the week

Things I learned yesterday:

It is possible to change money without any form of ID or paperwork in this country.
It is not possible to then pay USD into a USD account without proving that it is yours.
Apparently possession means nothing here, origin is everything.

Interesting.

Especially given that one shows ones status by one's possessions not by one's origin, at least to my eyes.
There are definitely inconsistencies in this society.
