Topic Reading-Vol.1697-12/3/2016

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.
