Sometime last Saturday, at the Ontario - New York state border, in Buffalo.

The Custom Officer: Where are you heading to?

Happy Canadian citizen happy to visit another US major city (that is me!): Buffalo

How long will you stay in the US?

A couple of hours.

Why are you going to Buffalo?

Tourism.

Where are you going?

Buffalo

But what is your destination?

Buffalo??

I mean... What are you going to do?

Well.. Tourism. Tour the city.. See the downtown.. you know?

I need a destination.

Well... Downtown Buffalo?

Sir. This is another country. For instance, you don't go to Japan without knowing what is your destination, right?

Right. But Japan is a 12 hours flight and a couple of hundred of dollar for the ticket. Buffalo is just across the bridge, you know?

The last part, I kept it to myself, cause I did not want an "intimate" search. But what went through my head was : "Most people call it tourism, stupid."
