Always wear the clothes you like! –You are on vacation!
Take pictures of everything you see, wherever you are, whenever you like! - Maybe you’ll never be back here again.
Relax, feel at home, do whatever you like! – You are here to enjoy life!
Use energy and water as much as you like! – You’ve paid for all!
If there is an empty “coca-cola” tin in your hand – leave it where you are! Nothing should be in the way of your comfort!
Get a souvenir made of rare animals or plants! – Don’t miss a chance to boast when you are back home!
Economize! Haggle for half an hour over each trifle! – Life is so expensive today!
