When I handed over my passport for my alien card, I made sure I had a photocopy, just in case. Well, when all of the new teachers went together to the bank to exchange money, I was the only one who could because I had my copy.
You should always have a photocopy someplace safe anyway, in case your passport gets lost or stolen. |

Hey MB, just because we don't always see eye to eye doesn't mean we can't get along.
My old roommate is a much-hated poster on this board. He and Squaffy got into some heated words a few times, to the point of personal attacks. Afterwards, Squaff PM'ed my roommate and said: "hey, it was fun, I'll buy you a beer." Which I thought was cool. Or nuts. I never decided.
So in the spirit of that, yes, you're right: it is much easier to replace a small sum of cash than to replace your passport. |

Yeah,sure,I agree.Let's get along. My comment about you being King of Kwangju was not meant as an insult...just a little gentle ribbing...just being a bit sardonic.Of course you are right that everyone does not share the same opinons.If we did, it would be a boring world,and there would not be much of a reason to have this board.  |

| One more instance of where you have to hand over your passport for a time:a foreign embassy IF you intend to travel to a country that requires an entrance visa. This past winter, my passport was in the good hands(ha, ha) of the Chinese Embassy in Seoul for almost a week. I was MIGHTY glad to get it back.... |

I'm never averse to a bit of gentle ribbing. And the name was always meant to be ironic. |

You were fearful of your passport being in the hands of the Chinese embassy...but not fearful of your person being in the hands of the Chinese government on your arrival?  |
