Hi Nina ~ One really only sees what one's country is like from the outside looking in.... returning to Australia after a short time in China and Hong Kong I truly saw how foul the immigration officials are here. Whilst standing in line with other travellers from Hong Kong, I saw one fat immigration official singling out Chinese people and yelling at them "DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?". After the politeness of people in HK it was very embarrassing. ~ Ben On Friday, November 23, 2001, at 11:55 PM, Nina Czegledy wrote: > try the bus by Buffalo to find out how unpleasant US/Canadian crossings > can be.
