The other night, I was in front of the computer organizing the next day.
My wife and I are putting together her application to immigrate to Australia and I had to find out where the Australian Consulate and Argentine Embassy were in Caracas.
Finding the Australian Consulate was easy and took me 2 minutes.
I “google mapped” the Argentine Embassy and it found a street way outside Caracas.
So I tried again and I found the same street, but on the other side of Caracas.
A little voice said “You don’t have to go to the Argentine Embassy”
I ignored it.
I kept looking.
I searched on other map sites with no luck. I went back to google maps and tried to find the street manually (on a map of Caracas with thousands of streets!)
Google maps then did a big scroll off the page and I ended up in the ocean.
So I went back to google maps.
And it did the big sroll off the map again and I ended up in another ocean.
The I started yelling “F^&%$$£ Google Maps”
My wife said “You know, maybe you should leave it”
I said “I know but it is so frustrating”
So frustrating, that the universe is trying to save me work. hahahahaha
So I went to Caracas.
And everything went so smoothly…
I even found the Argentine Embassy.
They informed me that they could not help me with the matter I was there for.
And without going into it, that made life alot easier for us!
When will I learn?
That the Universe is always working in my favour?
I even write songs about it.
Those songs are still my teachers, everyday.
Something very funny happened though…
When I was in the office of the Argentine Embassy oficial, at one point she asked if she could see my wife’s passort in order to determine whether she could help with our request.
I was carrying my wife’s passport in my money belt.
So I stood up, and loosened my pants to get the money belt out.
To get it out I also had to put my hand slightly into my pants to grab the money belt.
Well, the poor Embassy official, absolutely freaked out. Her whole body went stiff, she had a look of horror on her face and let out a stifled shreek.
I don’t know what she thought I was going to do!
I think she thought I was going to pull out my wife’s best friend (thankyou Monty Python) rather than my wife’s passport!!
When she saw the money belt emerge from my pants other than something else, she took a big sigh of relief.
Perhaps I should have been a little more discreet. But it made for a funny story!
It certainly brought bliss into my day, I am not so sure about the Embassy Official!
Have a blissful day all.
