I was almost not able to fly out of Beijing because I didn't have a proper VISA to Australia. Both Vicky (the admin girl) and I thought Canadian should be able to get into another Commonwealth country. We finally sorted it out via internet in the airport. But the immigration officer in Melbourne was very skeptical about my visit.
I had to explain him why I am in Melbourne and why I only got my VISA yesterday. I didn't like his tone, plus, after 26 hours of traveling from Beijing to Melbourne, I was hungry (to make it worse) and grumpy. I think I appreared very angry and loud. They finally let me through but the worse was waiting ahead of me.
The officer sent me to the highly suspectable queue for custom check. My luggages and backpack were searched very carefully while others simply went through the X-Ray machine. Although the custom officer was nice and chatty, my mood was really ruined.
I must look like a terrorist in Australian standard.
