		<description><![CDATA[A small anecdotal, possibly unscientific experiment to record the checkpoint experience, as it were.
Experimental environment: reasonably modern (unfortunately coloured) car, four occupants. One occupant (namely, moi) can speak the native lingo. Everyone can speak English, albeit some with a strong accent. For reference, a couple of the occupants look unmistakably expat/foreign.
