Ha! We went through that passport control in Miami late last year when we were on our way to Haiti. It does seem to have gotten a bit better once they added machines in for US Citizens and residents. JFK is pretty tough passport control, too.

Glad you’re enjoying reading through our posts!

This sounds a lot like passport control in Miami after a bunch of flights that ended up arriving at the same time 🙂 Minus the bribes of course.
Love reading through all your posts. So many more to go!

Not sure where you can get hami melon seeds…maybe better sourced out of Xinjiang Province in China.

Anyone know what i’m talking bout. I’d like to get seeds for those if anyone knows where i could find some.

We’ve been traveling like this for almost five years, and this situation is probably the most frightened we’ve been for our well-being. What we’ve written is exactly as it happened (in fact, we’ve probably under-told the actual situation). We crossed the border, we took notes in the taxi on the way to Shymkent and we posted the story the next day. So there wasn’t much lag time between our experience and the time we published the story.

As for recommending us to your enemies or not, that decision is yours to make.

perhaps because people shower three times a day…)
