(Read the previous episode first: "WargointaSeatLe" (We are going to Seattle))

I made it! I'm finally in Seattle, WA, USA!

I got out of the Boeing 747-400 that took me to Seattle with a big smile on my face and rushed to the customs hoping to be one of the first in line; but I was not. After waiting for ten minutes, I was in front of a customs officer. I gave him all my information, passport and DS-2019. He checked my fingerprints via a scanner and wished me good luck for my studies. I was officially in the United States of America!

Next step was to pick up my baggage at the baggage claim. I waited only for five minutes for my first suitcase to show up; but while waiting for the second suitcase, an officer came to me.

"Can I see your Customs Declarations Form?" said the officer.
"Of course" I replied.
"I see you declared you weren't carrying any type of food. Are you sure you don't have some Soücissan in your bag?"
I thought "What is Soücissan?" but since it was not British English I quickly understood that he was talking about "saucisson", a French sausage.
"I'm afraid not."
"And no Camenbeurte at all?" he insisted. He was asking me if I was carrying camembert in my suitcase, but I don't see the point since the airport would have needed to be evacuated due to the stink.
"Not at all sir".

The officer then left, and my last bag arrived soon afterwards. Just when I removed it from the baggage carousel comes another police officer, this time with a dog. It looked like he wanted to find drugs when I know he was searching for Soücissan, I mean saucisson. But the dog wasn't into my bag that much.

I eventually got out SeaTac airport and waited for the Seattle Airport DoubleTree complimentary shuttle. I wished I had some saucisson to eat during the wait.
