| There is the classic picture of a
tourist or expat getting in trouble in a
foreign country shouting out as he is
being taken away by the police, "You
can't do this to me. I know my
rights." Really? Maybe not.
When we visit or live in a foreign
country most of us take for granted that
the laws of that country will be similar
to our own. That is not always
true. If we are thinking of doing
business, getting married, adopting a
child, buying property, or anything that
might put our lives, our emotions, or
our property at risk it is probably best
to know what laws govern our current
existence. We can't just go down
to our embassies and ask them to iron
things out for us. They can give
us advice and maybe a little moral
support, but that is about it. We
are on our own.
