?zkan: This is my wife Ayse, and these are my children, Mustafa and ?mer. 


Customs Officer: Are you bringing in any restricted items? Any plants, fruits and vegetables, meats, or animals? 


?zkan: No. 


Customs Officer: Do you have anything to declare? 


?zkan: We bought some duty-free items in the airport. Here’s the receipt. 


Customs Officer: That’s fine. Step over to the exam station for baggage inspection 1

We opened our bags for inspection, and luckily, the inspector 2 found nothing to confiscate 3 and we got off scot-free. I’m really glad they didn’t find that cat we’re smuggling 4 in as a gift for my favorite podcaster!
