Yes, I found that out the hard way.
The first time I went there, they told me that they couldn't sell me anything without a passport, so I had to get the taxi driver to take me back to the hotel to pick it up.
I got back and they took one look at it, saw I'd been there for more than 48 hours and so my trip was in vain.
I wondered how come all of the bottles were covered in dust and there was no one else in there - now I know. Even though the prices are really cheap, I wonder how they stay in business when it's so hard to buy anything from them.
I guess that those in the know buy in bulk as soon as they get there.
Are there limits as to how much you can buy, do you know?
