So I've been having a little trouble getting an Indian visa, which will hopefully get sorted out. Looking at options, however, I've scanned the Indian consular sites for South America and half of Asia. This wins the prize for most helpful and friendly consular website ever:
Cafe con Visa: "First, we invite you to have a cup of coffee. Or if you prefer... tea, chocolate or capuccino... Your visa will be ready ... pronto."
How very civilized!
Could be worse. I've been advised that I'm unlikely to get a work visa for India or China in my current employment.
"You guys and Amnesty - they don't like you." said the remarkably candid chap at the outsourced visa agency.
Mr. Lloyd: You're telling me that working for an organization whose members are routinely arrested for theft and trespass makes it difficult to get a visa? ;)
Related question: does this mean it's likely that you're going to be in India or China? If so, when? We should be in India in February....
