Travel Visa Requirements

Embarking on our world tour in the near future brought up the question of visa requirements for the different places we may be traveling to.  Matt found a great reference via Wikipedia that may be helpful if you decide to embark on your own journey. 

One location noted "Immigration offenses, such as visa overstaying, are punishable by caning."  Yowsa!  You can believe we will be following the rules in this country.

I think that caning is only allowed in the following countries...Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and other countries that have bamboo...
I did here of a canning that took place in Ohio but that was with tomatoes and sterile glass jars...is that the same thing? Canning, caning, tomato... tomotto...

Watch the calendar.

Richie - There is definitely canning that happens here in Ohio. Canning, not to be mixed up with caning, includes sterilizing mason jars, chopping massive quantities of fruits and veggies (all cruelty free by the way), and sealing those with metal lids, so they can be enjoyed after the growing season is complete (i.e. when it feels like -30 degrees with the wind chill). Pass me some more tomatoes (I mean tomottos) please.

Richie Rich,

We have had a chance to stew over your tomato-based posting and were touched by your call to action. Far too long has the tomato consuming community turned a blind eye to unnecessary suffering perpetrated by farm-to-table presentation of these defenseless masses.

Canning…canning my friend is only the tip of the iceberg! Tomatoes have been exposed to an endless litany of tortures such as boiling, skinning, pureeing, slicing, and dicing.

It’s time to take a stand for the vegetables that cannot stand on their own. To support this worthwhile cause, we have formed a new organization called PETT (People for the Ethical Treatment of Tomatoes). Annual memberships start at very reasonable rates and the contributions go directly to help tomatoes in need. The first 30 people to join this cutting-edge movement will receive a t-shirt stating, “My Mother Was a Tomato!” accompanied by a copy of the yet to be published book by television personality and noted author Stephen Colbert entitled, “I am Tomato (and So Can You!)”

Won’t you be part of the solution? Join today.

Sincerely,
DINKS Travel
