Just got back from a trip to the Phillipines, where I had to deal with so much unnecessary bullshit from the airport staff it almost made me miss my flight, despite being there 3 hours early. I arrived in Melbourne, claimed bags and cleared everything in literally 10 minutes, even with me fucking up the declarations and needing a quick search. Perhaps I just got lucky, but after a week of being hounded by beggars everywhere, not being able to use my card anywhere and not having toilet paper in any toilets over there, I’m really appreciating Australia and how efficient/easy things can be when it goes right.
