After the usual resistance, I bit the bullet yesterday and sent my passport through the post.
It’s a risky business, more so now that I’m due to leave Vietnam on September 20. Without my passport, I can’t go anywhere.
Grovelling and begging ( i.e. going to the local Immigration Office, emailing the NZ Embassy ), bore no fruit, which left me two choices
-
Break the Law
.. and hope that general leniency and bribery save the day
-
Stump Up
.. the money and the passport, and be safe as far as my Visa goes, but take the unavoidable risk of posting the passport to
HCMC .
I chose the latter, with visions of being detained at airports, and so missing flights, in mind.
A Flimsy Excuse
to post a favourite oldy.
Now, there’s the usual nervous wait til my passport is safely back in hand,
Let us pray.
