I want to have a whinge, just because this is the internet, and really, who’s going to stop me?
I get that my passport is full of weird visas and stamps from weird countries. I do visit normal countries, mainly those in Europe, but because I have an EU passport, those aren’t stamped in my Australian passport. So it looks like I only go to weird places. Which in hindsight is probably the reason I seem to have a CIA watch on my Australian passport (as I found out when going through immigration at Lima airport).
But seriously, look at the entry card you have to fill in when you come into Australia. It asks what you do for a living…Read it! See what I do for work? Does it make sense now that I should travel to weird places?
Fark. Is it really necessary to make me unpack every single thing from every single bag and unwrap every single souvenir I bought every single time I return from overseas? And then swab everything for drugs?
I was standing around the quarantine benches at the airport for well over an hour getting a full narcotics search done on my bags when I returned from this most recent trip. I was tired, and wanted to go home, and the constant questions about “you were travelling alone? really? in South America? are you sure you were travelling alone?” and “so tell us about all the places you went. how long were you there for? you said you were travelling alone, are you sure?“.
I am not a bloody drug smuggler!
I just happen to work in weird places. Bloody immigration even rang my boss once to confirm that I worked where I said I worked!
Must you people do this to me every single time? It’s annoying
