This is a very strange country. Sometimes it's like the U.S. and sometimes
it's the worst of third world countries, usually it's a combination
of the two.

Probably not. But tat this time, I have absolutely no money to spend
on such things. At some time in the future, that should change, but

Moral of the story:

1. Don't get involved in starting a startup unless you have enough in
   the bank to keep you going for two or three years and don't invest
   it in the startup.

2. NEVER! NEVER! let it affect your health.
