first time???

I want to share my first international tour all by my self…

I was so nervous that time….Ha-ha-ha it’s so funny because I felt witless don’t know what to do since it's my first time to go out of the country and I’m alone.

(lakasan lang ng loob)

“Funniest thing happened to me & important things to know”

1^st you should pay international tax

When I’m in the travel tax counter I gave only 200 pesos that’s what I heard; so the personnel repeat it loudly P1200.00 (it’s my first time so I don’t had any Idea.) So I just smile and gave my Php 1500.00.

2^nd I skip at the Immigration Officer and go directly at the x-ray machine good thing I asked the security guard if I taking the right direction. So he directed me to go back at the Immigration counter.

3^rd You should fill up the card/paper that given before you enter at the check – in counter by an airline personnel. You must present it to the immigration officer and they not allow writing at the front of their window.

I thought it’s just a promotional card so I ignored it,

And when I’m in the front of the Immigration Officer his looking for my departure card I’m wondering what his talking to; so I ask him what is that sir??? He said that the paper given by airline personnel, so I gave him what I got… he told me to fill it up and he said that the man before I is a Chinese businessman and he is rich but he do fill up the form. (In short why I cannot do it if the rich can do amp… L  may ganon...) When I’m acting to fill it up in the front of him he said “no go back there” it’s prohibited to write here.

4^th always bring your own pen no free pen in the airport and you will need it also inside the plane,

You will need a black pen to fill up a departure card at the airport from one of the airline personnel and arrival card inside the plane.

Luckily, I always encounter a Good Samaritan who let me to borrow their pen.

5^th when you going back to Philippines make sure your arrival card is attached in your passport or it ready in your hand coz you will need to surrender it in the departure immigration officer.

Good thing I kept mine and didn’t throw it away in a garbage can. First I thought he asked for a new one so I gave the clear one. He looked complaining and wants to say “this is not what I’m looking for”. So I said “oh the used one” the one I present when I arrive here??? He answered me politely “yes” with smile. But it is inside my bag so I need to find it thanks God the Chinese immigration officer is kind and he let me to takes time to find it.
