I was working in Blantyre, Malawi a few years ago and the hotel where I was staying had a beautiful flower garden along the fence line in a sort of courtyard setting. There were signs along the sidewalk saying "Stay on the sidewalk." I wanted to get a close look at the flowers so I asked the hotel receptionist if it would be okay if I walked on the grass to get to the flower garden.

She said I could but only at my own risk due to the cobras which might be in the grass.

She also asked me what floor my room was on. When I told her the third floor she said I was safe from the cobras because they could only climb up the bricks and get in through windows on the first floor.
