BA***RDS!
well, i'm not sure whether to laugh, cry, lash out at random people who smile at me, or to spend the next few days at the bottom of a bottle...... or a combination of all of them, but the trip is over. Since the last post it's been a constant battle with various people who work for the Canadian government (mainly immigration) to try and get my visitor permit extended. However, i lost. The hardest fight in the trip ended up having nothing to do with the hard work of carrying a small country in a backpack. It also had nothing to do with getting people interested in something they couldn't pronounce, nevermind spell! It ended up being a battle to try and get information from people who seemed to be more interested in searching youtube for funny clips than actually doing their jobs. At the moment i'm still WAY too mad to write anything constructive, and there is no chance of clean language so i'm going to go- any questions feel free to email. But, having said that, if you email me with suggestions of how i could have made this work i will kill you....... and i really mean that- i will hunt you down and split your head open with a spoon and eat anything i find inside! Can you tell i'm not happy with the whole situation or am i hiding it well?
