Mission Accomplished

After five straight days of going to the department for foreigners and climbing 180 steps to the 9th floor of the Macedonia Radio and Television building, Sharon and I have our residency and work visas. I think I finally wore them down.

For all of you who have joined me in this epic struggle against red tape, thanks.

Post Script: On my way back from the building, I had to take some different roads due to some blocades in the city (that's another story). I drove right past the bulding where I needed to get an international permission booklet to drive the car out of Macedonia. WhenI indicated what I wanted the lady told me I first had to go the 9th floor of the Macedonia Radio Television building to get a document. The irony of it all made me laugh and cry at the same time. I thanked her and told her that would be another day.
