Argentina: border

for those in Hong Kong, maybe you had the same experience too.

When passing border, people asks what´s your nationality, you may pause for a second or two. Am I Chinese? Or am I Hongkong-ese?

Please dont hesitate when travelling to south america. Say ´Hong Kong´. ´cos you need a visa to travel here if you are Chinese. And because of design of our passport, which said ´Hong Kong, People Republic of China´, in many cases the official will say "It said China here"...

This is quite an annoying experience if you have to pass border several times a day. Like the road between Rio Gallegos and Ushuaia.

The road starts from Argentina, passing Chile and ends in Argentina. And worse is, the custom and immigration are separated. Meaning that we have to be checked 4 times during the journey... There was one occasion that we got the chop, got on the bus, and then was called to the office to re-confirm again...

Anyway, you can see nice view on the road.
