Oops...

Today I came to one very important conclusion: I may just be one of the silliest people ever.

Oh, yeah, and people at airports lie.


So, I went to pick up my passport from the uni office today where I had left it to get my Visa extended to cover the remainder of my stay. When I got there they said that there had been a problem.


Because I went to Bali a few weeks back, my visa was now used up and the airport guy had given me an extra 30days (which almost everyone gets when they arrive here) instead of reinstating my visa, which, was what he told me he had done. He said it wouldn't have any effect on my extension. Alas, it did.


I should have known better than to leave a country without checking what kind of visa I had in the first place (that was pretty stupid) and i also should have checked if the guy really had sorted it out (also pretty stupid.) But when the scary guy in the booth speaks, you tend to take him at his word rather than challenge him.


Anyway, long story short I have to leave the country and re-enter before 7thJune. Not exactly on my list of things to do, but you never know, might be kinda fun.


Certainly wont be taking any visa related stuff for granted again any time soon anyway.
