That's awesome you managed to get your passport and nice one on sticking to your guns and not tipping, sounds like a horrendous experience all round. Poor service, no tip!
Really cool that your Hive helped you secure it all as well, hope you don't have to go through that ordeal again any time soon!
I hope not! I hear getting a driver's license is equally tedious
Eugh, well, at least you know to have a big meal before you get that done if you need to stop you getting hungry during all the waiting.
I sure will
