On Friday I finally got my passport back. Of course I had to go pick it up from the immigration offices near the International Ferry Terminal. What a pain in the arse, particularly since I didn’t do anything wrong! They should have brought it back to me in an offical manner. The ordeal was pretty much painless but I had to endure a man explain to me in broken English for about thiry minutes why they took it in the first place. I understand everything but I needed to get it in writing. I gave them the letter I prepared and they accepted it but declined to write an offical letter because “they couldn’t write well in english” It’s really frustrating because Jake wants me to keep calling the director (who was away on business) and try to get them to write an offical explanation letter. More stress for me! He just doesn’t understand the language barrier!
