Do I support the purchase of bootleg, pirated, or illegal stuff while traveling overseas? Of Course not! But your government does . . . sorta.

So if you want to be legal, and bring back that DVD of a movie that just opened at the theater back home (yep, all your friends will be jealous) . . . go for it! Same with the fake Rolex, knock-off Gucci handbag or any other of the pirated goods filling the street side stalls of Asia.

What’s the trick? There isn’t one! Just make sure you declare your purchase. By U.S. law you may bring in one fake product of each type of merchandise. So 1 handbag, 1 DVD, 1 CD . . . you get the idea.

Uh, this doesn’t go for drugs . . . the best you’ll do there is to get busted back on home soil and spend time in one of our prisons instead of the rest of your life in another country’s. Nancy Regan was right on this one: Just Say No!
