Tales from the Friendly Skies
Customs Officer Westcarr, Christmas ’07 – my family and I had just spent 6 hours on a flight from London, which was packed to the brim and full of screaming children. Arriving at Newark, tired and irritable, we were greeted by the most friendly Customs officer I have ever met in my entire (and fairly vast) traveling experience. Not only did he welcome us, make us feel completely at ease, enquire about our flight, and actually genuinely care about what we had to say back, but he also gave us a bunch of information on the best place to go shopping in NJ (a place we did indeed go and it was amazingly good) and even told us how we could get there!
Hospitality and general optimistic outlooks – plus the love of English accents; that’s what I like about Americans.
