SINGAPORE awaits you, lah! The Safehouse Grand is a clean, well-protected hideaway in the modern metropolis. Shop duty-free at our international airport, which is as big as our country. A Safehouse Grandlimousine can also whisk you to fantastic first-class stores that carry truly brand-new designer items. No used products are passed on to unwitting customers, unless you’re from the national police. Go ahead, spend some ill-gotten wealth. Give in to a guilty pleasure without the sentencing. Human rights groups have criticized our government leaders for abuse of the court process. You’ll feel very much at home. Certain crimes and misdemeanors are punishable by judicial caning. But there’s nothing to worry about if you don’t commit acts of vandalism. Also, by law you can’t be caned if you’re given the death penalty. So, kickback. Relax. Our byebye.com-affiliated hotel will beat everyone’s prices. Come come, lah. Stop by on your way to farther destinations. Can! Can! (All facilities are wheelchair accessible.)

Are you in a very big, messy gazpacho? SPAIN is the place to be a fugitive from all your cares. The Corona Continental Hotel in Madrid is a well-appointed retreat for the traveler who wishes to be beyond the reach of anxiety. We fix everything for you, in the inimitable Corona-style. Do we go overboard to serve you? We’ll be the judge of that. A la orden! A dedicated staff will cater to your every need with no hold orders. Here you will be secure from all your trials and woes. Besides, the Spanish legal system is based on the Code of Napoleon (Bonaparte, who was also very short). It is hierarchical and could be difficult to navigate. Some experts say that the best way to prevent legal problems is to avoid using our legal system. So only a fool will follow you all the way here to take you to court. Que guay! And don’t be afraid of our famous Judge Baltasar Garzon. He only goes after really blatant mass murderers like Pinochet. We have a very good no return, no exchange policy. The very exclusive Corona Continental is your hideout away from home.

You’ll have a great escape without the tunneling under travel restrictions, ja? We’ll tear down the wall that separates you from your peace of mind, and put you to sleep like a little girly girl. At $20,000 (only Euro 15,000) a night, our presidential suite is very affordable to you; so is the $20,000 dinner for your entourage at our LeCirque. Ach, come and get your money from our banks before the Euro disappears. Afraid of very public and sensational trials for capital offenses? Not to worry. The last one we had with many hangings was in Nuremberg after the war. And, you’ll love German Criminal Code Section 188, which prohibits Malicious Gossip and Defamation Against Persons in Political Life. It is a law after your own heart; the punishment for your enemies will be imprisonment from three months to five years. You can tell them, “Bring it on.” So vat are you vaiting for? Come, you’ll be uber safe here. Achtung! Enjoy yourself now.

Say arrividerci to all your problemi at the luxurious Villa Tangentopoli, a Proprieta Berlusconi establishment. Come taste ITALY’s la dolce vita. We have ruins, paintings and pastas. Good-looking women and men, we have. Mamma mia what else you want? For you, vino red and white, of course. Medical care, not so much. But that’s not really why you come here, no? You can get indulgence for sins of all sizes, including fraud and general dishonesty, at the Vatican right in the heart of Rome. No sin is too big, yes? Travel advisory: When in Rome, you can do as the Romans do, except graft and corruption. You must resist the big urge because here the accused are displayed behind bars in the courtroom, like animals in the zoo. You don’t want that,signora, signore. Also, the Camorra, ‘Ndrangheta and Cosa Nostra they don’t like competition so much. Could be dangerous to your health. Other than that, you should have a peaceful sojourn. And did we say you can drive from Italy to Switzerland and its marvelous banks in just a few hours? Here’s a bonus: Any Swiss banker who reveals your information without your consent may face prison time. Hello, when are you coming already?

The world-classDestinaciones Asilo Arreglado is your passport to carefree living. Fly now, plead later. Or never.
