I never had a problem with customs. They have a "job" and if you don't upset their system you move right thru. My favorite city in the old USSR is Kiev. Muscovites were nice, but, they have experienced the greatest change. I could not resist buying several Russian cameras at the old hard currency stores. Fabian will have a great trip. In my past life I was a tour director. Pat PNN prm@photonewsnetwork.com > Customs/immigration: Be prepared to wait for a long time as they check > everything but your blood pressure!
