Thats some crazy stuff..
Straight up the first thing I thought of is a movie called Paradise with Juaquin Phoenix, Vince Vaughn, Ann Hache... ugh. If you haven't seen it... good flick. Anyway, if you go to a country like that to avoid issues with AAS, and then end up getting into things they will cut your friggin head off for - well you defeated your own purpose.
Scary.
