Geography

This morning was spent trying to sort out some stuff for a Russian friend of mine - she's coming to visit for three (3!) days in August and - of course - needs a visa.

I know it's nothing we can control, the country that you're born into, but it makes so much difference. I have now had to declare that she is under my care for the whole three days that she's here, and hopefully that will be enough evidence for the Dutch consulate to grant her the visa....

Very fun that she's coming of course, but sheesh, the bureaucracy surrounding these things is incredible.
