train traveling with her sister in Poland. In the compartment were themselves, and only in Kovel, for 50 miles as the boundary, we sat next to a woman with two huge bags bazaar - in this Atlanta just do not see. Not even said hello, she locked the door coupe, quickly abandoned bag on one of the top shelves, on the other - she climbed. With something like the makeup took a screwdriver and ... began to spin on the ceiling that panel, which carries the torch. A minute later stuffed in the gap between the ceiling and roof coupe car cigarette pack. Many packs.
We started screaming, saying that you are doing. We now describe the conductor. First woman to us does not respond, then angrily snapped:
- Yes, everything will be ok. Take it easy. I have a lot of time doing so.
While we were outraged, she climbed into the side of the exit from the niche compartment and began to spin something out there. Stuffed back packs have 50 cigarettes. I ran to the conductor. Dear saw that in the next compartment is the same. And in another ... I realized that all the top shelf of all compartments were bought by these smugglers. They had been here the whole truck. And most importantly, the other passengers behind it all calmly watched but did nothing.
Explorer listened to me, too quiet. I went into our compartment. At this time a woman is stuffing a pack of cigarettes in the window frame.
- woman, what are you doing this? Ana quickly remove it! That I had ever seen - factitiously he said ... turned around and left.
Then I realized that all matter is consistent with the guides and will not interfere. I panic. Indeed, at the border and we could have problems. The woman began to calm down. He says that a hundred times to do so. The main thing is to not panic and do not talk too much.
I remembered that I had a friend of Pole, who works at the customs. Wrote him a sms, they say, how to act, came here in this story. Advised to give the woman at the border. But we do not have this.
Ukrainian customs passed quietly. But the Poles began to search the compartment and found the cigarettes. It was evident that the woman did not expect such a fault-finding on their part. It was suspected at once, because apart from two empty bags and anything with the documents did not exist. Together with six other smugglers disembarked from our car. Carried out five huge bags of cigarettes, such that the conductors in the linen used to do. In the next compartment cigarettes were generally sewn into the upholstery under the bed, under floor ...
most interesting is that after a month I was traveling back to Poland. Again, this situation is repeated. But not in my compartment, and in the next. But this time, the Poles found no contraband. And not too were looking for. I think the last time, too, would not be exposed, if I had not written his Pole-customs officer.
