Soy japonesa, y encontre un guarda de frontera (African American) que hablaba japones muy bien en San Francisco. Era extrano.
Y hablaba bien japones?
The last time I traveled to Mexico I had a terrible time in customs. I go frequently and often take gently used toys and clothes for friends but after being in customs for 4 hours, they confiscated 2 of my bags. The luggage was worth more than the things. I tried to get an immigration agent (like a lawyer of sorts) but he told me with his fee and the costs, it would be $500. It was just so frustrating because it was senseless, but the people in aduana, mostly young people, seemed to be afraid to make a decision and kept passing it off.
La ultima vez que yo viajo era trenta anos en antes pero no tengo problema con la guarda de frontiera. Para mi En dos ocasiones eran muy familiariares y amicables
Viajé a Estados Unidos en el 2008 e no tuve ningún problema en la aduana. Quizás haya tenido mucha suerte :)
