Wouldn't it be cheaper to just stay home and be arrested in America? It would also ensure prison guard jobs here in the USA. No point in outsourcing prison jobs. :D:

ya gotta remember, SOME of those places, making an arrest on an American IS a source of income!

lets see, bail, and fine (how much you got?) hey what do you know, thats the EXACT amount of your bail!! You can owe us the fine, there is an ATM around the corner that takes American cards!!

When I was traveling internationally I learned to dress like the locals and look dopey like the locals.

A wise move.

All of the times I had to go to undesirable places, I had the brown passport, and usually an escort. made it a Little easiser.

Tokyo was probably the safest city I was ever in. Singapore was too but for different reasons.

Just don't... and PLEASE, don't... overlook local traditions and culture. Amazing how fast you can offend, accost, insult or shame someone without even knowing it or meaning anything.

I love the reaction I get when I go to a sushi place and order sushi and sashimi the way they're supposed to be ordered... Even more when I give the tip and say it's for Sake, not just a tip.

I've been asked several times if I've been to Japan.

Someday...


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
