Umm...thank you!

(And who here says I'm not a nice person lacking a sense of humor?) hehe

Yes, I've got more to share but I think another thread needs my attention. I'll get back to you with a less sensational story about a crazy slovenian couple. good times.

Whoah, I literally just shuddered. That was scary, even without the dramatic pauses. Scary and sad. Something must really be rotten in the state of Korea for her to behave like that. One of the most frightening bits -

'I'm pretty cool when it comes to blood, but mostly I see it on dead people, so it's...different.'

Is there something you're not telling us, Tiff? :)

P.S. Nice to meet you too, insomniak!

Ellie, you must come onto these boards more often!

Haha...dead people? Not really. I'm a criminology student so I watch autopsies and read about dead people a lot. (Wow, I sound really morbid. I swear I'm not. I just dig forensics.)

Maybe it's actually a comment on how bad things were for her at home?

Tiff - Our country's have enormous borders and in this day in age, your job has got to be extremely difficult and challenging. My hat's off to you!

Thank you, Mamie! It is difficult, but every day is interesting, that's for sure!

This wasn't North Korea, was it? Because I have tons of South Korean friends, and while it's not perfect there, it's not a horror house. What a story...

You know, I asked the officer dealing with her case the same thing, and she was actually from South Korea, so I'm as befuddled as you.

She had a history of eluding customs/immigration in various countries. She was actually refused a student visa into Canada several years ago for not having sufficient funds too.

Wait, so crazy girl had tried this before? And can you ask whatever happened after she ripped her eyes out? I'm curious.

She tried coming into Canada and was denied before.

Not sure what happened after she ripped at her eyes. (Luckily they weren't entirely gouged, but she's missing a chunk of the whites, damaged hte cornea and her eyelid.)

She was probably sent to the hospital, detained for a few days and had to either go back voluntarily or be sent to jail here.

Is she blind, do you think? I mean, what happens when you lose a piece of your eye?

as long as she didn't severely damage the corea, she should be okay. although it must've hurt like hell. i burned my eye when i accidentally put on a contact with active ingredients on it, and i screamed like a mofo. i can't imagine actually TAKING a piece of my eye out!

Corneal damage probably won't cause blindness. If there's scarring, it might act like a partial cataract. It's the pupil, iris, lens, and stuff deeper inside, like the optic nerve, that are really super-duper vital.

So have you had any really stupid people try to get through?
Where you thought "How did they expect me to believe THAT?"?

I can't imagine actually doing that...

Do tell us another story.

#91

...actually, all of Canada is horrific but at least we have a competent PM!

Posted: 11/5/04 at 11:04pm

Oh yeah... the funniest is when you get the old white guys who have "married" young, pretty asian girls from korea, phillippines, china...

We're sitting comfortably, you may begin...

Posted: 11/5/04 at 11:07pm

That's kinda nasty, Tiffy.

What exactly is a mail-order bride? I have a vague idea.

What's a PM? Prime Minister? Pre-Menstruation? Polite Men?

Posted: 11/5/04 at 11:14pm

With butter and cinnamon, insomniak!

#98

A Prime Minister, you ignorant American.

Posted: 11/5/04 at 11:15pm

It's literally...guys go online, pick out a woman from a catalogue and choose who they wnat to marry them. Usually happens to women in 3rd world or communist countries, desperate to get outta there.

Posted: 11/5/04 at 11:15pm

I mostly heard of them coming from Russia, but anyway...basically, a lonely old Western man can pay for a young, pretty woman from a not-so-nice country to come marry him. She gets to move to a better country, and he gets arm candy. It's manipulative on both ends and just plain sad.

ETA- You posted first, Tiff, but it's the same basic idea.

That's sick and sad that they have to do that.

Ellie, I haven't tried cinnamon but it sounds delicious.
