Kathy and I sent off our Russian visa paperwork this week. I about had a heart attack when Christina 'I can't pronounce or type her last name because it's Russian' asked for our passports to be sent too...!
Me: "You mean a copy right?" C: "No the ORIGINAL passport." Me: "What?!?! Why?!?! I don't just mail my passport." C: "This is a requirement for Russian visa. It is glued into your passport and its impossible take it out without tearing page out. You can check this requirement at Russian consulate website at:
http://www.russianembassy.org/" Me: "Ok, fine I'll mail it today...."
Needless to say, it was a bit stressful. Oh and then Kathy also finds out of school pic won't work for the visa pic b/c it isn't the "all white background" like a passport pic....so off we went after school like mad women to Drug Warehouse to get passport pics taken. That way my passport, which has my pic, can have my Russian visa glued in with the new pic...hmmm two pics in one passport...ok...
So basically they are molesting my passport as we speak, gluing in Russian paper and a pic of me which was with a ponytail....so DOES NOT look like my passport pic. They'll probably keep me forever because they don't match...LOL!
But honestly, I AM EXCITED to go! Just don't like paperwork and other shenanagins!
