RE: Ready, Set, Go! 🤗 My Actifit Report Card: August 26 2024

They stop every car, check passports, and sometimes bring out dogs to sniff the vehicle. When I drive my pickup truck over to Canada my spare tire is always loose in the bed of the truck. They have let the air out to make sure I wasn’t smuggling drugs!
It’s actually very intimidating crossing the border!😳

Sort:  

i see, i guess all immigration officers are supposed to be intimidating.
so that is how the process goes over there.

Yes …..
One time the family had a pet Nubian goat. This goat road in the back of my pick up truck.
Weeks later, we cross the border to Canada without the Nubian, of course, but the dogs smelled where she had been. Border guards came out, thinking that I was smuggling drugs. It was actually a funny situation after everyone realized and calmed down . !😇🤣

funny if you think about it now, but my god that must have been stressful and scary at that time. waaaaa

Strange how even when you haven’t done anything wrong you feel like a criminal when you are surrounded by armed border guards!😳

true. my first encounter with a land border was just so stressful. i was on a bus from singapore to malaysia and they asked all of us to get down. i didn't know it was the border inspection, i left my passport at the bus. i hurriedly went back and searched for our bus which parked somewhere far. i was like a fugitive running around

😳……. That’s exactly how I feel crossing the border as well!🙄
