WK – Oh my God that is funny! You must have freaked! Please send me before and after shots so I can put them online. You are braver than most girls I know!

Mon – Hahahahaha. You didn’t! Could you have picked a more anal airport to try that shit at? They do that kind of thing just for kicks and you go and provoke them? You legend! I live in awe! Hahahahahaha

One more to add:
After a 8 hour flight and you’re grumpy as all hell don’t reply “Why you think i’ve got a bomb in there?” when the Customs offical at JFK airport asks to check your luggage. It could lead to a 36-hour interogation session in a pokey room with 6 scary army men with the sense of humour as a carrot. Your bum starts to do that same pucker thing again. *so i hear*

This just made me laugh.

-Blonde isn’t bad, try going into a random part of a small asian community and tell the lady to give it a trim…you go from having long hair to a boy’s haircut.

My Two Bob’s worth:

I hear that it is a good idea not to try to sneak through customs at Za nzibar, no matter that it is the same “country” as Tanzania and no matter that you have a permanent residence visa for Tanzania.

I also heard that it is not a good idea to ignore the customs officials’ obligue references to the fact that, even though there is not really a problem, Tsh10 000 will sort out the problem that does not exist. Of course the Tsh10 000 asking price is only paid by those gullible first time tourists. If you are a local or regular, the price is negotiable, “to sort out that pesky problem that does not exist”.

My contribution, Chris: Smile & greet strangers who look like they’ll help you, anywhere, & call them by their names. This:
-instils warm fuzzies in people when embraced, metaphorically-speaking, by a toothy, happy person, ‘cos usually they’re miserable
-is such an unusual occurrence in our daily existence that one actually does stand the chance of getting the best out of a situation
-makes a personal contact in an androgenous world- good for reflection on long flights
-& lastly, leaves one feeling better than before one made the effort! Karmic kudos DO count….
