Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
The Ten
Toughest Border Crossings in The World
In
yesterday’s Topic Reading Voc.1696, you might have seen a video about the world
busiest border crossing point, Tijuana. Yes, it takes some time to go across
the check point but the process is strictly done according to the laws and
regulations, no need to, in fact you shall never try to, pay bribes to the
officials. All in all, it is basically accommodating for legitimate and documented
travelers and commuters.
But some
border crossings are naturally and officially demanding. Some have jungles,
desert, rough surface and even land mines between the two border posts totally
unguarded and unmaintained. Others require unlimited inspections and questions
by the officers until they are satisfied by not valid documents but reasonable bribes.
These
situations change accordingly to the territorial governance and bilateral relationship.
Enjoy
reading and thinking what will the border crossing will be like between the US
and Mexico when the new administration takes place in the White House in 2017.
