ChinaAfter having to go through customs immigrations in enough countries, you pretty quickly understand why Paul Theroux once said, "Travel is only glamorous in retrospect." There are a lot of tricks to make this process easier, but hands-down, no question, the first and foremost is to memorize your passport number. And dates of issue and expiration. Place of issue is a bonus. Also knowing your visa number means near invincibility. But trust me, you'll save tons of time and frustration (and risk) by not having to dig your passport out of its safe place, deep in a bag or on your body under a few layers of clothing.

Or, you could just carry a photocopy in your front pocket.
