Then I went to Customs. I had to fill out another form. I'll show you what it looks like later. The customs officer asked me: «Anything to declare?» «Excuse me?» «Do you have anything to declare? Do you understand English?» «Yes, I do. But I don't understand American English very well yet».
He didn't ask me to open my bags. He just asked me a few questions. Did I have anything to declare? I said no. Any foodstuffs? I had some cans. He said canned food was okay. Did I have any fresh or frozen food? No, I didn't. Any gifts? No, just a few souvenirs. Did I have five thousand dollars or more in any currency? Certainly not! I had absolutely nothing to declare and the officer finally let me go.
