I've gotten a little annoyed at the identity requirements but since my wife is a native speaker it's not a big deal.

It's stupid to have to keep registering that we are staying at such-and-such an address. Why can't they simply keep it on file?

In the early days I could simply walk into an internet cafe and use it. The first ID requirements were meaningless (given the language barrier and I was obviously over 18 they didn't bother to ask me except once when someone else who was stopped for no ID made an issue of it {my name not being in the book}.)

Then I had to show my passport to pay, although once I had a prepaid card that was all I needed. Then it changed and even with the prepaid card that calls up my photo I still have to show my passport and at present they scan the passport every time--never mind that there is already a scan tied to the card that comes up! Once in a while I draw a clerk who doesn't know how to scan my passport.
