Big sigh..... What is the problem here?? Get the international permit for
crying out LOUD! It costs next to nothing and all your worries about it will
be over. Not getting one is ignorant and might in worst case scenario get
you in trouble!!!! Go get it and start focusing on your trip!!!!!
- Or if this gets you bogged down, don't even think about leaving home!
