telephone calls received by Customs. "Hi, there is a package for you from Japan. Tell me what's in it? ".
answer calmly. "I do not know, do not expect anything. Can you tell me who is the sender? ". The official
diligent, "Kodansha.
"Ah. It is a publisher. It is probably a book. "
" should tell me for sure if it is a book and its value. "
" I really do not know. Do not expect anything, maybe it's a free sample. "
" I can call to ask what that is? "
begin in a cold sweat," really is the publisher Kodansha more largest in Asia, who I call? "
The bureaucrat does not give up:" But I gotta know the value ... "
" Do so, open the package and see what's inside. "
" No, I'm not allowed to open the parcel. "
" permission that I am the recipient. "
" Sorry, can not be done. "
From my head to start out small clouds of smoke. I decide to improvise, invent words: "Ah, now I remember, is a book cover price of 1,000 yen, about ten euro."
The customs officer satisfied: "well, I'll send you right away."
All true, I swear.
