It Isn’t Always Easy to Get into Every Country

Every country has its own rules regarding who can enter, and airport or border security can be especially tight in certain places. India is one example of this, and teams often lose valuable time dealing with border issues as they try to enter different countries. In fact, teams have often been detained at airports for hours until the security checks are completed.
