Ofcourse now, it's become far more difficult to find upgrades going to europe so I've been visiting asia more.
I find that judicious use of a paperclip to direct an immigration where to stamp helps greatly. I just clip over all the blank pages in the back except one. Some don't like that and remove the paperclip to have a look. But they almost always see what I'm trying to do and find a place to stamp without picking the middle of some rand
m page.
