Would you like to buy a bridge in San Francisco?

I've always wondered about these stories you hear now and again about people that buy villas from taxi drivers - was yours named Made?

If the bridge in question is the Golden Gate it is no longer for sale. I purchased this bridge last week from a taxi driver who has become my good friend (Oddly enough he is also named Made). However since the purchase I have not seen him. I wonder if he is ill.

How can anyone sign a 15 year lease on a villa and not know how he's gonna stay in the country long enough to enjoy it?

Hi Tikus.

I've found the embassy in Sydney to be pretty easy.

Allow at least five days - fill in your form and submit it along with your sponsor's letter, flight itinerary and of course money. They ask for a return ticket (or ticket out) but they've given me a social visa without a return ticket. I simply explained that I didn't know exactly what date I was leaving and would prefer to purchase my return ticket when my plans where more concrete - the lady at the counter said she would try and would call me if there any problems - there weren't.

If you want flexibility which it sounds like you do...a social visa is the way to go.

Have you experienced any specific problems with the Embassy in Sydney?

PS. I hope Markit, has managed to get his socks back on.
