NO it is the US! Europe has the Schengen Agreement where even me as a foreign can cross borders at easy.

To go into the US I need a visa. Then inside the plane they give us a piece of paper where they ask even for the brand of my underwear. Then we get there and they can send me back if I don't look right. This because even if I get a visa for the US, it is not secure that I can enter there.

Once I flew from Canada to Boston and I didn't look very nice after a six week holiday and after celebrating Halloween in Halifax, Nova Scotia. They didn't want me in because I didn't have a confirmed flight back to Rio.

They hold me for some 40 min. opening my luggage to see if it was a luggage of someone who had been on a six week holiday. Accostumed to Nigerian officers -I was based in Africa then- and loving confrontation plus the hangover made me a very difficult visitor.

It took me 12 years to go back to the US. Luckily the West part of the US is more welcoming and now I forgot my shouting match with those bloody New Englanders.

With the Euro will be better...

Oh, I forgot. I never went back to Canada after they started asking visas for Brazilians.
