Asia Pacific - July 2007

While living in China for a year, I accidentally bought over 100 (presumably) pirated DVDs for 6 RMB (less than $1) each.

I would like to take them home with me, but if there's any chance of a problem, I'll just ditch them here. I keep them in a normal-looking CD sleeve case, without packaging. They look like legit DVDs except for the Chinese and horrible English translations.

I can play them on my computer, and I have a compact DVD player I can transport, so that's not a problem. Does anyone know what the possible implications could be if U.S. Customs had a problem with them? What would be the likelihood of getting stopped for them? Any chance of pleading ingorance and simply having them confiscated without some stiff punishment?

These would be solely for personal use, of course.

Where exactly would I go to learn the language? Do you know if they are at war or fighting in the streets? Or how they treat women?

What types of jobs do people have? What are some of the lower paying jobs/higher wage jobs? What's the average wage? Is there a "minimum wage"? What's the cost of living like? What are the homes like? What is the climate like? Is English spoken by most people there as a second language? What's the shopping like? Are there bazaars on the streets where you can buy food, clothing and other necessities, or are there actual "stores" where you do shopping? As far as transportation, how do people get around? What's the common mood of Bangladeshis towards the United States/Americans?

I know, I have lots of questions. I'm hoping to get some informative answers. Thanks!

Specifically I'm interested in computer and data storage equipment. I move a lot of confidential data and and I need to know if they are going to turn on my computer and try to go through my files or not. Any other info on the customs search would be greatly appreciated. If it matters I'm holding a US passport.

I have a US Passport and a round trip ticket, showing a 10 month duration. Do I get a Visa or extension immediately at the Manila airport, or must I go to a Consulate office, before my 21 days is expired? Must I repeatedly get short extensions, or can I just get the 10 months all at once?
