3: Customs Trouble (Momo and Hiro) (Written by Jazmin Boulton)



W: UGH! I still can’t believe that the Customs officers confiscated all but one of my bottles of sake!



M: I STILL can’t believe you didn’t read about American laws before packing… Oh, wait, I CAN believe it, because you never read anything you’re supposed to!



W: It’s not MY fault that the law is stupid. I mean, come on, we’re only allowed to bring in ONE liter of alcohol?*



M: Momo, why did you need to pack ten bottles of sake? It would take you months to drink all that!



W: It wasn’t for me! They were supposed to be presents for Americans… We go to school in Saijo, how could I not bring sake as gifts?



M: Japan has so many other wonderful things you could have brought as presents. Candy, chopsticks, even funny-flavored ramen...



W: I brought all that, too!



M: Oh, so THAT’S why your bags felt like they were filled with rocks…



*正確には「アルコールの持ち込みは1リットルまで免税」。Momoさんは関税を払うのが割りに合わない、そのぐらい多量のお酒を持ち込んだのでしょうね…（ちなみにアメリカで飲酒可能な年齢は21歳以上）。
