the journey of a duty unpaid bottle

a little behind the scenes feature on one of marks gift

since some of the guys such as glenn and kd were in oz, they decided to send mark a gift through the mail, and since it was a surprise gift. they sent it to me.

so i got the call from them to expect the gift and i thought of it was nothing. little did i know that a week later i'd receive a letter from the customs department telling me that there is duty unpaid tax for the bottle of vodka that these clowns sent me.

i thus had to make the trip down to the customs department of the central post office to collect the item.

the tax usually goes, for vodka, $70 sing per liter of the liquid and also subject to 7% gst from the value of the vodka. i was lucky, the bottle was 700 ml so i paid less, and also the price of the drink was much cheaper, lower than the shelf price. so i ended paying a manageable amount of tax. but it was all worth it as it is for and from a close bunch of brothers from different mothers

eventually it made it through marks hands

savor every drop of that drink dude.

the last shot is just the food that was served on party night
