That's why they invented shipping containers!phuketrichard wrote:dogs are at magor airports hence reason i said nobody smuggles $$ anymore.
Much of the huge $$ smuggling in the early 2000 was the US,Canada an Oz back to asia
in the 80's, early 90's, it was inter asia ( Japan, Korea, Nepal, India) back to HK ( along with us, Canada, Oz)
with little or any being caught
one person could easily carry 50-$100,000+
anyone spending any time around Chung king mansion in HK in the 80-early 90's would know

Good job immigration,all dark skinned Africans coming into Cambodia should be screened for infectious diseases and a criminal record check,make sure you have $1000 in hand!
and if you happen to be white and from Africa then make sure you have $2000

Everyone is equal. Everyone has a place. No one is written off, because there is worth and goodness in every life... That is the Republican ideal. And if we won't defend it, who will?

What kind of black are you? Are you the good black or a bad one? I spent 6 months in the Ironbound in Newark back in the 90s, the guy I lived with would hang around phonebooths watching people dial in their long distance numbers. He 'd memorise your shit from the corner of the room. He was a big ass Jamaican guy and he would always say - fuck African American shit, he was Jamaican not a fucking African. I was told by him not to walk home through main street because it weirded the coke dealers out. Kept on telling me to stop choking the ckicken. Pretty cool guy.Jimmy Crow wrote: ↑Thu Jul 19, 2018 9:59 am Good job immigration,all dark skinned Africans coming into Cambodia should be screened for infectious diseases and a criminal record check,make sure you have $1000 in hand!

Kenyan calls her entry denial discrimination
19 July 2018
Officers at the Phnom Penh International Airport denied claims that a Kenyan woman was discriminated against on Monday, saying she was denied entry to the Kingdom for not meeting proper requirements.
Comments by the woman, Mwangi Mumbi Muthoni, which were published in an online forum for expatriates, said she was told she couldn’t enter the country without proving she had $1,000 in cash.
Despite having a valid e-visa, passport and a letter of invitation to volunteer, Muthoni was allegedly asked to prove she had available funds and told to fly back to Malaysia if she didn’t have the money.
“They said they wanted to see my bank account balance. I asked why, and they said they wanted to see if I had enough money to support myself,” she said, adding that she had $250, and 100 Malaysian ringgit on her.
An immigration officer based at the airport claimed she had been denied entry over fears she would stay illegally in the country. He denied that officials were presented with an invitation letter.
“She came and an officer questioned her. She did not have a clear purpose for entering the Kingdom and no invitation letter. She did not have money and said she had [some] on her bank card, but when we asked her to present it, she did not have that either."
“We suspect that she may have come here to look for work. If we allowed her to enter the Kingdom, we believe there would be problems in the event we had to deport her in future,” the officer said.
