Ukrainian-Polish border from Ukraine, we were white issues. I even asked the name of the little dog, who sniffed carefully our stuff. Our border guard replied reluctantly as if the state secrets was opened. It turned out a dog named Bonnie. As he tried Boni, but nothing suspicious was not found in our baggage. We safely crossed the border between the two countries and our cars with special cranes (imagine what this cost of renting machinery) were transferred into the air and put on another platform, which corresponds to the width of the Polish Railways.

But on the Polish side, everything was done as a detective. First, nothing special. Checked and stamped our passports trehzubnye. And I was thinking to go to bed hoping to sleep well before the new impressions. But here in the corridor sounded, if not cry, then at least vote on a raised voice. So, sometimes, talking to the foreman with his subordinates. Sleeping under this hubbub was impossible and I leaned out of the compartment looked and realized that our guide than something is seriously at fault. What is a man in a black T-shirt on his back in Polish "border guards", that is, the border guard, the wing was worth Ukrainian conductor, said the first time you go so it may be the last. Our guide was nodding his head and quietly apologized. I realized that the quarrel is not due to the fact that the conductor gave cold tea. Suddenly, another border guard pulled down the corridor two full plastic bags. Just as they are filled? - It is not clear.

This intrigued. I went into the corridor. Poles apologized and asked the passengers of the other compartment to release them a place to work. Passengers obediently went into the corridor, but the Poles tinkering on their sites. I went closer and saw that they untwists screwdrivers, car ceiling, window trim, and all that you can unscrew - and take out cartons of cigarettes "Ronson". Contraband kurivo border guards were put in plastic bags and hauled them closer to the exit. Turn came up to our compartment. And we were no exception. We also found a store of cigarettes.

example, and not die trade ties between Poland and Ukraine, if you still carry goods across the border. Someone continues to earn money. It is not always successful. How many there were packs of cigarettes - can not say. It seems that the border guards have collected a dozen plastic bags. That's what every day is not Sunday.

Whatever it was, but the train we rode on, and eventually fell asleep waiting for a meeting with Europe.
