Trying to cross the border into COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 |S6 - E18|

In this episode I am trying to leave Ecuador and cross the border into Colombia. The Ecuadorian border is still closed, but Colombia is open, so all Ecuador has to do, is to let me leave. But will they??

Another country!! 🥳🥳 A lot of people seem to suggest that I should have bribed the officers to make things go faster. Here is what I have to say about that 😅 I think trying to bribe police or other officials is always a bad idea, unless you reallllly don’t have another choice. So, first of all - I don’t support corruption so I won’t offer bribes. Secondly, in my opinion it’s also not right to assume that every official in South America is corrupt 🤷‍♀️ You can get yourself into quite some trouble when you start offering bribes, to non-corrupt people.. So, I’ll just whine instead that it takes a long time and do things the way they are supposed to go 🤪😂

This was pretty much the same in the UK prior to 1993. If someone arrived in the UK without a pre arranged agent, customs would tell them they need to clear customs, customs obviously don't do any paperwork for you. Many times as an agent some poor lost person would ask me ( having been pointed out by a customs officer as an agent) to clear there goods or lorry on TIR into the UK. When you know what to do, it's actually very easy. As an agent we did the same procedure many times a day. If you happen to find someone that is unsure, it can take for ever.
