LAX Immigration
Moby | 21/3/2007They really do hire the friendliest people in the world to work the immigration desks at LAX.
The first one didnt want to deal with any tourists, even tho every desk was listed as Resident/Tourist. So back into another queue.
The second officer questioned me for about 10 minutes.
Why have I been to the USA 5 times? (only 3). What do I do? (computers, worked for CA. last 2 trips were business….). How long are you here for? (5 days).  You have been travelling a lot. (yes, 15 months). What company gives you 15 months off (No job any more). How can you afford to travel for 15 months? (Worked in computers.. kinda well paying!). show me your return ticket (show him my LAX - Tahiti ticket dated for 20 Jan 07! and try and explain to him…). Do you have enough money? (yes). .. .. .. .. .. .. Then he gives my custom form some big red writing and sends me on my way.
The big red writing turns out to mean i should have my bags searched and be questioned more thoroughly. However the next dude was much more lovely. 5 questions and he understood everything and didnt even search my bags! yay.

Mike | 22/3/2007Welcome to the country of freedom!
I had a similar “kind” interview when I went to London, they kept me almost 20 minutes asking everything, I almost had to show them my underwear!
Keep having fun Craig.
