a tip for travellers...

when you enter a country via a large port (ie airports) the immagration laws seem to be pretty strict on showing proof of onward travel.. i learned this the hard way by not having proof going from new zealand to australia and almost missed my flight.. in fact it is impossible to board a plane in a country unless you have proof that you are leaving the country you're flying to within the timeframe allowed by your visa.. it is difficult to say 'yea im just gonna fly in, then ferry around, and leave on a bicycle.. but i promise ill leave in time (smiling)'.. so proof of a flight out is needed.. you have 2 options:
1. buy a 'throw away ticket' for like $150ish, or
2. make a ticket!!
this can be done by obtaining a template, or general idea of a local airline eticket, and editing in your info with some basic knowledge of a pdf editing software, or photoshop.. an hour's work saves you US$150!!

That's crazy and awesome at the same time! They didn't even bother to scan it to see if it was real?
