I do like the Manic Pixie Dream Girl character who always carries her passport with her, so readers know what a wildly adventurous free spirit she is, but my own travel experience is not so much grab your passport and my hand. More grab your passport… and take it to the consulate where you will fill out this visa application in triplicate, wait in line, find out you have to redo form Y712 in black ink when it turns out blue ink isn’t acceptable, and come back in three days for an entry visa.
Anyway, that’s where I am on my trip.
