...only $25, Bock and her assistant yentas will interview you and present you with a prospective mate. Jewish Introductions refunds $10 of the original fee if the user completes an evaluation of their service, not the date.

cleared Customs at the airport. This process can be cumbersome. In London and Paris you must hunt around the airport to find the special desk where the goods are inspected and then usually stand in a long line behind other bargain hunters. Since the refund check may be difficult or expensive to cash in the U.S., the best way to pay the VAT is with a credit-card voucher, which the storekeeper can destroy after receiving the form from Customs. On the other hand, U.S. Customs lies in wait at the other end. Returning travelers can bring in $400 worth...
