Passport Control

The best thing now is to hurry. You'll go down a flight of stairs, and find yourself in a badly lit hall in front of the passport control windows. If your flight is the only one arriving at the time, the line should be quite reasonable. Otherwise, get ready for a shock. Imagine a massive flock of intelligent, wily, ill-tempered, bipedal sheep. Do not, under any circumstances, let anyone barge in line ahead of you. They'll pretend to step ahead just to read some sign or another, and stay. They'll kick their bags ahead of you, and step boldly up to them when you aren't looking. They'll do everything up to and including slithering on their bellies to get ahead of you, but I beg you, please, don't let this happen. Be like a man of steel (with apologies to Joseph Stalin), and let the tempering process begin here. If you don't learn to stand up for yourself, your stay here will be a misery...
