I reckon international travel is as closest as one can get to time in prison without doing a a criminal act ie: cramped living space, little exercise space,
'meals' at specified times, close proximity to annoying people you would usually avoid, being ordered around by uniformed flunkies, being herded in lines, undergoing humiliating security checks, being looked upon with suspicion at every turn, those with more money get more privileges etc etc.The aisles on Air New Zealand are so narrow these days that some air hostesses can barely fit down them--and sleeping in an aisle seat means that you get bumped awake every few minutes.
Bring back six months in a leaky boat, I say.

That I could cope with but I still have problems being designated as an 'alien'. Americans inhabit the earth; the rest of us are from Saturn or Uranus?

But great to have you back, even though it would be advisable for us to stay upwind.

Marryatt spreads mayhem wherever he goes. His time as Hamilton City Council CEO is not fondly remembered.

Gee, if I just add one more it would make 2000 posts!
