europe, here i come!
this day is turning out be better, and weirder, than i thought!
my mother was supposed to travel to amsterdam and then london for some work (she travels alot…if you were me, you’d be used to this by now) and decided that this one time, i get to tag along. everything got set and settled, flights got booked, visas got applied for…the works. ofcourse the british and the dutch then refused to give me my visas or even tell me anything about it till today, and i’m supposed to fly tomorrow. for three whole weeks the visa office officials sat on their asses and refused to give us a word. they were really unpleasant.
yeah, so i got my visas. this decision got so prolonged and it all seemed so negative that i fully geared myself for having to stay back. and then i figured ‘hey, its not that bad’. i had gotten so used to wanting to stay, that now they decide to give my the visas very last minute, im kind of feeling strangely unexcited.
but what the hell, this is bound to be fun. got bags to pack and jeans to shop for. and cousins in london to email. boy are they in for a surprise.
ahh visa wars..i’ve been in a puk mood all evening bc i had to go to the uk visa joint tp pick up my passport at 4pm and waited till 6pm only to be told that i’ll have to try again tomorrow. I mean, why can’t they just let us know when its ready by a phone call or something?? they charge 7 grand as visa fees, wtf do they do with it??? can’t they devote 10 bucks to call the relevant person up?? to apply for the visa you have to wait about 5 hours on a good day and thats not all bad bc you at least get something done at the end of it, but to wait 2 hours to be told “thank you, come again” ..sorry, as i said im in a mood.. have a fun euro trip!
