                    [Summary] => Dear Ms. Orosa:


I avidly follow your column, and though my letter is neither on the arts nor on cultural maters which you normally feature, I do not know who else to send this to.

Having lived in the US for over 20 years I have come to realize the basic difference between the lifestyle there and the lifestyle I am adjusting to now. My arrival was a rude awakening to the "facilitation fees" at the airport. Everyone who helped me get my passport stamped or even so much as "touched" my baggage expected not a tip but a tong.
