custom customs
1) look rich ... nice luggage/dress (not to much)
Eg. carry props in golf bags (or mail)
2) if asked; "I am going to the juggling/magic convention at so and so ... check years past conventions and schedules (juggling.org)
3) always have keys
4) credit cards help a lot
5) cash and travellers checks (double up* if no cash)
* if you don't know what I'm talking about well, call me -
Thanks for the tips. My mates have hoop diving number and Roue Russe which is like a german wheel but just a single circle without all the handles and foot mounts.
Is it possible to say that you can be instructing as an exchange in service or does not really fly. Conventions is the best smell of bullshit.Comment

NEVER CARRY PROMO OF ANY KIND
Never say anything like "teach" or "exchange services" as it implies employment ... and then more questions need to be asked by INS procedurally ... howsomeever, they l-o-v-e tourists (esp. South America) so Hola, 'ello mate, bonne soir and all feet are the same ... it's all up to you ...
P.S. I got a temporary residence visa in Australia just doing a 4 day gig with Dom once ... it's amazing what a good wig will do. (I don't know about you Lucky ... you're on your own.)Comment
