Last class, we watched a snippet of The Terminal, in which Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), a man from an Eastern European country, suffers all kinds of travel hassles when arriving in New York. After he left his country; war broke out and because of that Navorski is a man without a country that the U.S. cannot recognize, thus he is denied entrance to the U.S. However, he also can't be deported so he is told by the Security Manager that he has to remain in the airport until his status can be fixed. And also Navorski doesn't speak English well, so no one can talk to him and he can't talk to anyone.
What about you? What hassles have you faced when travelling?
