Hi Granny did you see this one?

10 Pakistani Navy sailors go AWOL during rare Tokyo goodwill port call

At least 10 Pakistani sailors ditched their crews and apparently went absent without leave in Tokyo during a rare goodwill visit to Japan by two of the country’s naval ships on a training cruise, an official said Friday.

A Pkistani Navy destroyer (right) and a supply ship are seen docked at Harumi Wharf in Tokyo on Thursday.

“They went out for sightseeing and then they disappeared,” a Pakistan Embassy official said on condition of anonymity, citing protocol. “We’ve asked (authorities) to apprehend them so they can be deported to Pakistan for violation of the law.” (snip)

Thanks for the Pakistani sailor post.

I had missed it.

Sounds a bit like the sailors on the freight ships, on our east coast a couple years ago.

Easy method to get in with.
