Availability of passport stamps

Funniest I have was the stamp for Gibraltar (has a pick of the rock) thar went to a random page in the back half of my passport - everything else is in the front....

Thank goodness for the hk throwaways however given I am at 7 entries in the last six weeks.

Do you go out of your way to get a stamp in your passport? Are they becoming a thing of the past?

I try to get a stamp in foreign countries where possible.

I got one entering and departing WLG last year and then got one on entry in AKL but on exit they could not find a stamp.

I usually ask for a stamp departing Australia and these go in the back of the passport. I don't bother getting a stamp for when I return.

I had a bad feeling in Thailand recently when I left 1 week after I arrived and then returned the next day. The immigration official was looking at the stamps and then started going through the other pages. This took a couple of minutes and he also spoke to the official next to him. I was glad when he stamped the passport and I was on my way.

I love going through the stamps in my passport. Sometimes it helps the boredom.

The stamps often help me jog my memory too - although if i look at my recently expired one, it tells me I left South Korea went nowhere and then came back 14 days later. . . . .

Did you go north from where you had it last stamped in a foreign country?

Got it in one! Had my own personal North Korean passport - pity it had to be handed back when we left.

I find my enormity of stamps raises a few eyebrows a at LAX. I guess they're rude an unpleasant to everyone... But the more stamps I have the more questions I seem to get.

Last arrival I got a suspicious inquest into why I was in both Indonesia and the USA in 2007. It was apparently very odd that I couldn't remember exactly what I did in America 6 years ago...
