The embarrassing situation at the customs.
On Friday morning, when get to “La Nancy” the customs were waiting for us. They gave us the passport and our identification to use in the clothes. They took the bags and saw all the things that we had brought. We couldn’t bring anything in Spanish, we must cover all the elements that we have if we want to keep it.
If was a very funny and embarrassing situation, because, in my case I laugh, of didn’t cover my bubble gum and candies. For other it was not good because the customs found “drugs” inside some student’s bags.
Of course the drugs were not real, there were plants and sugar, but it was not a comfortable situation.
Apart of the drugs, they took mobile phones; some cans foods, notes and everything that had a Spanish word.
Some of the students got angry because of being a customs; they didn’t like the idea of someone revise yours things and took it. Then, after complain, they forget about it.
After they took the elements that were in Spanish they gave us a paper that had written the name of the things that they took and why they took it.
In the last part of the paper it was a free space, where we could write a letter to the customs asking for the things in Spanish.
There we had to explain why we really need that thing, then they read the letter and think about the situation and according to this they decide if they return it or not.
Obviously, when we leave the camp in “La Nancy”, they will return to the students all our elements that were in Spanish.
