UPDATE: No Travel For You

UPDATE: Story turns out to be not true.The Independent sites the Wall Street Journal as calling the Chinese Embassy in Seoul and learning "the photo was a hoax and the South Korean immigration service hadn’t prevented anyone traveling because of child’s play on official travel documents." 

Regardless of if this story is fake. One has to believe that some boarder authority could deny entry/exit due to drawings on a passport. At the very least, do you really want to look at those doodle for years on years?


FOX 4 of Kansas City & MetroUK are reporting an interesting story about the tribulations of having kids. Supposedly, a father from China, was forced to extend his vacation in South Korea after his child decided to doodle on some paper. 

What's the big deal? The paper that he doodled on was his father's passport.

"The child got busy during a recent family trip to South Korea, where he took to the back page of his dad’s Chinese passport with a black pen and drew some really nice pictures of people, animals, and – obviously – added a bit more hair to his dad’s face. Classic. 

The only problem is that now his dad is stuck in South Korea because of his unrecognisable documentation, and authorities have warned it is likely he won’t be able to travel home with his son, and the rest of his party"

The lesson in this story? Have scrap paper for your kids when traveling; otherwise, they are going to draw on the nearest piece of paper.
