When the United States brought in the requirement for fingerprinting all non-nationals, I thought I’d never go to the US until they’d wised-up. Why be made feel like a criminal? Why have your fingerprints at the mercy of the US government forever?
However, due to New York just generally being a cool place I’ve always wanted to visit, it having a smoking ban (the hotel we’re staying in is also the only hotel in New York with a blanket non-smoking policy) and it being one of the places Noirin and I could agree on wanting to go to, that’s turned me around.
I hope it’s worth it.
