Who knew that November would be so busy? With only one day left in the month, we’ve almost missed the November monkey, even though Martine and I discussed the theme more than a week ago.
So here it is: November’s monkey is "Border Stumbles." Talk about awkward, annoying, or freaky things that have happened to you while crossing international boundaries.
If you’ve never crossed an international boundary… what the heck are you waiting for? In the meantime, perhaps there are other boundaries that you have stumbled across.

November Monkeyness
Blork have announced the November Monkey, called “Border Stumbles”. I can’t decide which story to offer, so I’ll do both:
1) After a very eventful trip to Norway one December (which is another long and intriguing story in itself) we ended up in Cala…

One Monkey over the line
The November monkey is all about borders – so how could I resist? There are two such crossings that bring back fond memories/vivid nightmares for me: 1. The summer I turned 15, my boyfriend’s family spent a week or so…
Something Up With Which I Will Not Put
Border Crossings
Wow, a monkey, here, and here. It appears, if I were to participate in this “monkey” (don’t call it a meme), I would have to tell a tale of an international border crossing.
Honestly, I don’t think I have any real stories to tell about internat…

I do not wish to share my lengthy and agonizing story of being detained at the U.S. border, but i would like to let everyone know that I managed to get a U.S. entry waiver that lets me cross the border despite my criminal record from the past. A company called Canadian Pardon Services really helped me a lot in getting all the documents that i needed and they did every part of the paper work for me! i don’t think i will be having any border crossing stories to tell for at least 5 years before my permit expires.
