Going Through Customs 

Customs Officer: Your passports, please. What is your final destination? 

?zkan: Los Angeles. 

Customs Officer: How long is your stay? 

?zkan: We’ll be there for a week. 

Customs Officer: What is the purpose of your trip? 

?zkan: I’m going there on business and my family is accompanying me on vacation. 

Customs Officer: Who are you traveling with? 

?zkan: This is my wife Ayse, and these are my children, Mustafa and ?mer. 

Customs Officer: Are you bringing in any restricted items? Any plants, fruits and vegetables, meats, or animals? 

?zkan: No. 

Customs Officer: Do you have anything to declare? 

?zkan: We bought some duty-free items in the airport. Here’s the receipt. 

Customs Officer: That’s fine. Step over to the exam station for baggage inspection. 

... 

We opened our bags for inspection, and luckily, the inspector found nothing to confiscate and we got off scot-free. I’m really glad they didn’t find that cat we’re smuggling in as a gift for my favorite podcaster!
