two things worth telling happened during our trip from jamaica back to miami. the one is that my bottle of apple cider vinegar obviously broke on the way, because it was removed from my bag and all the shoes i carried in that bag now smell like vinegar. if you don't know why i travel with apple cider vinegar already, you can find that information somewhere in june.
the other one is that when we immigrated, i accidentally tried to put the wrong finger on the fingerprint scanner. problem was: i can't even tell my fingers apart in german, let alone in english, so when he told me to put my index finger on the thing, i just guessed - wrongly. and the immigration officer obviously thought it was something personal. first i didn't realize that but after the scanning thing we had to pass another officer on our way to customs and he would't let johannes pass because our officer rodriguez (i always read their name plates because there's nothing else to do anyways) had written a clear '1' on the customs form and - being two people - we needed a '2'. what pissed me off about it was that mr. other officer treated me like it was my fault and made me go back all the way to mr. rodriguez and ask for my 2. so i did, adressing him with his name, loud voice and all, he painted the one into a two and off i went back to mr. other officer. somewhere behind me, i heard yet another officer teasing: 'outstanding performance'.
