Yessss. :)
In a nutshell:
me: F*ck yeah!
We got the visa!
India
But it was tough
tuja: woww
cool
what happened?
me: For one thing, it was up the mountain
And I was by bicycle
Then we had to wait for an hour
Then they called us in
Then they sent us the f*ck away saying we were frivolous
tuja: wtf!?
me: Not having a plane ticket etc.
I told the guy, of course we don't have a plane ticket, we are going by hitchhike and buses...
tuja: :)
me: But he needs a bus ticket, ha says
Told him to think about it again, how could I reserve a bus ticket in Pakistan...
He says hm hm yes yes but still...
I say okay I'd give him anything and I understand and blah blah blah I was a fuckin' diplomat, I was proud of myself even
I told him okay, then I give him a map and a description on our trip
He says good, good, then bring that at least
Quickly booted up my netbook
I rewrote the short 1-page doc I had made for the Pakistanians
I asked an Indian guy in the garden where could I find a Copy General
There was one 5 minutes away
I rolled down, printed it from the laptop
Two copies, color, 3 Euros
I cycled up again, just returning before 12:00 when they close
I gave him smiling, here you have it.
Then hm hm hm he didn't say a word, signed the papers and showed to the direction of the cashier
tuja: this is awesome :D
you're cool
i wouldn't have thought it was so hard to get in to India
me: I was expecting some easy morning too...
