Schengen?

On our trip we crossed many borders. Some of them were in remote mountain areas of special countries where you would not be surprised seing some strange things happening. Inredible but true, the worst border was the often praised Schengen border! We entered the Schengen area from Ukraine into Poland. Short before the border a large group of ladies entered the train with huge bags of cigarettes. Then it went fast, they had tools with them to open every compartment of the train to fill them with cigarettes. Shocking was that everybody knew about it. The train crew as well as border posts on both sides. You could even sew how 50 US bribe changed the owner. After this border we were in Schengen and no further control occured until Switzerland - welcome to Schengen...
