Thanks for the warning.  Indeed, this is a good advice.  When I called
them on the phone, I spoke with a person with a pakistanian dialect
(or at least, with a dialect I hardly understood).  He told me that he
would forward me to the chief, which in turn was a person with
another, but similarly incomprehensible dialect.

I think I'll bring my camel cotton bag, just to make sure...
