Bureaucratic Sharks

Dealing with Russian bureaucracy is a lot like being mauled by a shark. It's awful, messy, painful and terrifying - but if you survive, at least you have a cool story/scar to tell people about at cocktail parties.

I say this on the eve of my attempts to get:
  1. Paid for my job.
  2. A Russian tourist VISA for the summer.
  3. A Chinese VISA for the summer as well.
Wish me luck.
