Zarasai was much worse!
No obvious system*. The first guy we meet,
looked like he was new to this border-thing. He was not sure what we should
do, and besides that, there were a chance of guard. But UA style we
got a small scrap of paper saying 9 - number of people. Eventually he
dediced that we could move on.
There were no drive-in-booth where you
hand in your passports. A pretty, but no fuss border
girl came to us to inspect our pasports. Lot's of questions asked: car
papers, our business in LV etc. etc. She even wanted to double check
the the car documents with the car's frame number. We had to clue where
to look, but she clearly had done it before.
Off she went with our passports. She told us
very firmly to stay put. She saw somebody's camera: "Did you take any
pictures." "No", we all answered surprised. Did anybody hear the canned
laughter?
After a while she came back. We could go on.
We are met by another bar. The guard in the small booth was barely in the
mood to go and see us. "Go back to customs!", he said. We realize that
we needed a cutoms stamp on the small paper scrap. The customs guy knew why
we were reversing and meets us with our second stamp. Back to the bar
and with two stamps on the paper we are led through.

well,
2006 sounds right, but it also the same for Poland. And I would bet that all
other new EU countries won't join any later than LT or
PL.
