Just curious, when a freighter docks in another country, say a Chinese ship delivering goods to New York City, are the sailors allowed to leave the ship and walk around New York, go to a bar etc. for example. The same goes for like a British sailor in South America or whatever.
SHARK WEAK! Why do you FEEL the need to CAPITALIZE certain WORDS!
In my time as a British merchant seaman (Engineer Officer) I never experienced any restrictions in going ashore in foreign ports although in some places a little diplomacy was advisable. (In communist China, openly carrying a copy of the ‘Little Red Book’ ashore was quite usual. Everyone in the crew was given one on arrival, so taking it with you was deemed an act of courtesy).
There were no obvious restrictions in Leningrad, though we were probably being observed.
In the good old US it was very open. We carried crewmen’s visas issued by the Department of Immigration and suffered no restrictions. The furthest that I got away from the ship was a Sunday round trip of 160 miles to Orange Springs FL from Jacksonville FL.
Bermuda was the only place where I saw any restrictions. Royal Canadian Navy personnel under the rank of CPO were not allowed shore leave.
Nowhere were passports obligatory if you entered the country as a crew member. For purposes of identity, a British Seaman’s Discharge Book was accepted as a valid document.

I’ve searched all over and cant find anything. I really want to know how to put my GoPro underneath my skateboard on my trucks. Please help me.
I dont think you will find any mounts for your actual trucks but you can always just get a flat mount and stick it upside down on the the actual board and then when your not using it it will just a a small mount stuck to the board which is what you want. On the GoPro menu you can set the recording which way you want so even if it is upside down it will still record the right way up.
