The MP was nicknamed Moeras Paddas (Something like that )

I agree with you. It was awful when we were there, but looking back it was a good experience for me. I know for some people it was not that good.

We had some good times at the expense of the government. Plus being an MP helped as well. People didn't like us much but we had a good time none the less.
