I’ve been hanging around UK for far too
long. I’m waiting to hear anyone from the school too verify my work permit,
start date and flight details. I try to be patient. I don’t want to be seen as
impatient, nervous and/or anxious.
It transpires that they are waiting for
me to action the above. Eventually my line leader finally makes contact with
me, and Operation Mountain Man is given top priority. Within 48 hours i have a
letter to take up to the Ethiopian Embassy in London. I fear the worse, having
spent a most terrible Embassy experience in Addis when i needed to extend my
tourist visa in 2011. No-one spoke English with over half a dozen counters to
negotiate all clearly labeled in Amharic.
Fortunately, thinks are more sorted in
London and within less than an hour I have filled in the appropriate form,
taken my photo on the on-site photo booth and handed over the obligatory £22. I
am told it will be ready the next day. And it was!
