Crikey – we are now in Houston, Texas visiting Yuki’s folks. Getting in to the country was nowhere near as problematic as I had been led to believe by many people and a number of websites. In fact, the immigration queue for US Citizens was much much longer, and moving more slowly.

The immigration officer didn’t say a single word – just swiped my passport and let me in. I guess were I not a white caucasian married to a US Citizen (who was with me) things might have been trickier. I just don’t know.
