visas. i'm trying to get my UK visa. and right now i'm in limbo till monday evening about whats up with it. remmeebr the good old days... when you actually went to the consulate and not some glorified courier services called the ' visa facilitation service' . when if you had traveled before, extensively even, it was ok if you didn't have every single docuemnt under the sun with you. when the chappie who took your documents actually knew if you had given them the right ones or not. " do you want to submit any more docuements?" " are there any more required?" " i'm only supposed to ask you if you want to submit any more docuemnts... it's procedure" ggaaahhhhhh. on a better note i'm reading the ramayana series by a.j.banker. very very cool. also a new ken follet is out. and finally for all you firangi's ... I hear a story that the latest harry potter is out. tru or false?
