The Trip, Part Two

Well, I got to the airport to buy the visa (after I went back to Wonju and got more cash from my sponsor) and I ran into another problem. The people at the immigration office in Chuncheon forgot to void the visa in the computer system. The bad news is that i could not buy the visa, but the good news is that I can get the visa for free since it was never voided! Well . . . that would’ve been the good news, but one of the ladies in the immigration office decided it would be a good idea to try and rub off the “void” stamps. So we started to do that and it actually started to wear off the stamp! The head honcho guy saw that and freaked on us! (Tampering with government documents! Great!) So then he printed a new one just to put it over the old one and re-void it and printed another one off for nothing and sent me on my way. “It looks like we hit our glitch for this mission” — Tom Hanks, Apollo 13.
