Update on the visa issue

Well, things aren't progressing much. Kyaw Kyaw was told by the German embassy that he needs to go to the Dutch embassy in Bangkok. They already said so when he first came to the embassy just after Christmas but it took them until last week to officially say so (before it was the guy at the counter who said it). So 3 more weeks without any result.... And the dutch embassy keeps tellign Sandra (who emailed them ages ago and even called them last week) that the German embassy CAN give out the visa. But that it is a courtesey. The German embassy says that they used to do it but no longer... So Kyaw Kyaw will go to Bangkok as soon as he's finalised the business he's doing for his brother's boss.. He has at least a letter from the German consul in which the consul describes the situation and explains Kyaw Kyaw's work and everything else they need to check (so basically telling the Dutch that they've checked it). Sandra isn't very optimistic about KK getting the visa but one never knows.... We'll know more in a week or 2...

Have lit a candle and are keeping my fingers crossed for you all. If there is anything else I can do, just let me know.
