Traveling with 12 watches from shanghai to stockholm

[DoctorStMoritz]

No one would ever guarantee you a no-check pass at customs. Every checked bag will be scanned on departure and arrival and opened and searched if they wish so. You're less likely to be asked to open your hand luggage if your main bag doesn't get flagged, but you may still be questioned. And if you put all your goods in your checked baggage, it could get flagged. Put a microphone in your checked-in bag and you've got an anti-bombing squad on the tarmac. You know the camera lenses look like grenades on X-rays, that's why you have to open your hand luggage when it's scanned. They have Venitian mirrors that look just like glass panels and hidden cameras, not only for customs but also for airport security and spotting potential strange behaviours. Of course it helps to have a Swedish passport (and yes, to be Caucasian), but it does not matter. They have a list of destinations and this list is checked daily like a watch: South America, Madrid, Lisbon, the Netherlands, Thailand and all neighbouring countries, and of course all of Africa and the Middle East.

Or simply tired of getting robbed

If we break it down, we got taxed at our salaries, we get taxed for basic survival through ood and housing, household goods, and then taxed on top indirectly through inflation

And taxed on capital gains, and should we mention VAT ? The most unfair tax of all ? All of that for the global debt to just have reached 307 whopping frickin trillions

I'd add: inherently dishonest

Of course!

INHERENTLY!

Thanks for the valuable feedback! I smoothly passed through Shanghai with my watch box that holds 8 watches. Interestingly, when it was folded and scanned, it only displayed 4 due to the overlap. Get the hint? I left 3 watches with a friend who's flying out in a few days. I've also got some gifts; might declare those to avoid any issues.

The concept of VAT was introduced* by the French...needless to say it was quickl adopted by all governments*
* invented b a German guy though, so they are guilty too

Always knew that if the experts for surrender & capitulation collab with us Krauts, something unfortunate happens... But this takes the cake.

Just kidding. Love my neighbors and their deposit-free beverages. Doing a border-run to the nearest Carrefour at least once a month.

PS: Yes, I know my co2 footprint must be larger than Russia. But I also get (real) Macarons (our knock-offs suck) and I correctly recycle all those Red Bull cans.

France also walked over most of Europe, so I take the joke from a Kraut, no problem...as long as it's sauerkraut
