Well, I have to say @kiwiscanfly that if the green beans were the best part of the meal, then it must have been pretty bloody awful, lol - not to mention the fact that the "beef thingy" was not identifiable haha!

You certainly do travel a lot! I assume it is all work related?! Where are you "technically" based?

There is a TV program that airs here on DSTV called "border patrol", featuring all the shenanigans that goes on at the airports in Australia. Always quite entertaining to see the absolutely insane things people try to get away with... lol.
