Thailand/Bangkok airport

... Pushing about 50 kg carriage anywhere she went, she got kind of tired, but time was ticking and just two hours were left until plane departure.
Long line for a ticket registration moved slowly, and in about the hour our artist closed up to the counter.

It was a Tai guy about 35, who didn't have any emotions on his face and the only thing what you see that one eye look to one side and the other eye look somewhere else, and you can't understand whom this guy is talking to. Being superstitious, the artist knew that there is "no road" for you if you meet the crossed eye man. It wasn't any kind of abuse for a physical defect in her mind , it was just an old believes going through time and told by old people in Europe.
He took her passport and was holding it for a while, and showed with a head to put sue cases on the weight rolling machine.
Using all muscles she had she got up her suitcase and dropped it on weight machine.
Next was another bag and an Apple desktop computer.
-You have overweight madam, 26 kg and you allowed to bring only 20 kg for free and any other kg gonna cost you 20 additional euro, so you must pay 520 euro for you stuff.
- What? This is more then my ticket price sir, are you kidding? I paid coming here $109 and I had more stuff....but the guy didn't give up
- You have to pay 520 euro madam.
It is looked like a scam and the artist was asking for a manager in hopes to work something out.

Good luck!
