		<description>The departure tax is, of course a payment for the priveledge of using the Airport, but has been hijacked by governments as a form of stealth tax. I don&#039;t mind so much the hoo-hah getting into the country, but it annoys the f**k out me to have to line up for hours to get OUT. The only purpose of this, it seems to me is to allow WINZ to send you a letter charging you interest on your student loan, 10 seconds after you&#039;ve taken off.</description>

		<description>Just knowing that you care enough to comment, really boosts my ego.

For that, I would like to thank you.

I would also like to thank myself.</description>

		<description>Got swine flu yet? Taken your dog or kids to a North Shore beach recently? Whitetail spiders didn’t get in on the mud of someone’s boot.

Your first sentence had a minor point. The rest of what you had to say made me think of this:

		<description>Good to know. I am a bit terrified to come to NZ (I&#039;m from the US and checking out the universities for grad school).

But then again, I did go to Canada sans proper documentation over my spring break. I thought I was in the right as the US Dept of Homeland Security website was rather unclear about what documents you actually needed before all the passport fuckery went into effect. So I argued on that point with the Canadian guard and he let me in with only my drivers license. I should also mention that my fellow travelers were all from different states and two of them were &quot;mad fucken stoned&quot; during these proceedings but had nothing on them. Upon re-entry, the US border guards informed me that I had been in the great land to the north illegally the entire time and should not have been let in at all, so technically I invaded a country on my spring break trip. I am nothing if not persuasive. Fun times.

I think I&#039;ll prepare better when I travel to antipodium, though.</description>

I&#039;ve travelled the world and can confirm that New Zealand customs takes three times longer than anywhere else.  As for the EU?  That&#039;s as easy to get into as Waikato University.</description>
