Last year, I offered to teach a few of you a number of real words and phrases you can try with the Customs people at CAN. I have since rescinded my offer because using those words and phrases will land you in jail!

Thumbs up

You guys could replace the CAN with SZN, and all the acronyms would still apply. Sounds like you get the same Customs/Immigration - fire drill/goat rope that we at UPS get in Shenzen.

I vote we both go back to the PI for our hubs, but that's just me.

It means: "how's your mom?"
