Maybe someone has heard the complaints. Today we got two nice and very professional officers at the airport. They treated us fairly, without any lip.

I could write a novella about the bad ones, like the guy who got angry when we negotiated the duty and then paid him by check, so he couldn’t pocket the cash. Or the woman who berated us for not properly categorizing our items, but told us the manual was secret, then “averaged” everything at the highest rate!

The Customs guy today seemed to remember us, and didn’t even open our bags. Let’s hope this is the new C and I.
