@Kasi Sorry to hear about your son’s misfortune. Yeah, it sucks no way around it. And yes he will remember it and become a stronger man for it. I’ve had a few sketchy border crossings in my time, but the worst was returning back to Canada in the early 90’s. If he can handle this(and it sounds like he is), he’ll have a great time studying in the US. As fathers we naturally want to help and protect our children, and times like these make us feel helpless. You’ll get through this and congratulations to your son on getting to study abroad for a year. It’s already starting to be a memorable experience.

Yep your
right. Bottom I didn’t want him to go to US. His first option was Canada. Second USA. Otherwise it would have been Australia.
These are best for law. Value you degree more.
You can’t pick were you want to go. They pick 1 for you from the options.Out of 150 students only 10 gets pick to go abroad. Those are the toppers in achieving the grades.
Some dream of being cool, I make it look dangerous.🖕

My sketchiest border crossing was from Colombia into Ecuador on foot. We got out of the taxi to get in the customs line. Once it was our turn, we got to the window and the official found an “issue” with my passport. He told me to come meet him around back. I was freaking out. He simply stated, I could go back to the closest town (3 hours away) and pay for this issue at a proper bank…or for the “convenient fee” of double, could give him the cash then and there and be on my way.
It wasn’t the first time I’d been shaken down by the Colombian Policia while I lived there….but it freaked me out for sure.
But also, I’m not sure its the worst system either. I’d got myself into a bit of trouble before while in Colombia that would have resulted in jail time, fines, and lawyers fees here in the states. There…some pocket money to the cop who busted me and I was free to go.
Granted, this is nothing like the systemic issues of racism that impacted Mo’s boy trying to legitimately come into the states.

Oh fun, politics.

Best to you and your son, Mo.

@Mizmazzle You called that bully in the uniform, as you are powerless.

Thanks

@ARNC My only advice is - Don't be sarcastic to the border guard if you have a car picking you up that charges for the wait.

Sunday Morning. I called it my lazy day.
Kasi in America, kept the phone just in case.
Normally I turn my phone off at night.
My sleep important to me.
While it was on. My next door neighbour, messaged me early my car he been hit overnight.
Can you check camera. I have install cameras on my property for safety purposes.
Anyway went back to sleep deal with later. Once I was up later on the morning. Found 3 point turn was to narrow for the accident causer.
Clearly see what a bozo driver he is.My wife got a message from the other neighbour. My can been hit. This bozo hit 2 cars doing a 3 point turn. Drove off.
The question arise me you have a drive park your on it, why on road so it can get hit.
Anyway move on
Kasi send me this
White Chapel university were Michael Jordan went.

@Kasi It's not a lucky week for you Kasi, the driver probably had a drink in him hitting 2 cars doing that turn... Idiots.
To comment on your other post, glad your son got there OK, beautiful pics. I hope he loves it, Americans are great, governments are not (same as UK...)
