Well, not all of it. I’ve had issues with the post office here and their delivery abilities.

This week I had to send off my passport to a travel agency in Busan.I sent it registered mail on Monday and as of Thursday evening, it still hadn’t made it the 60Km to its destination. I went down to the PO today with receipt and tracking number in hand, ready to rip heads off shoulders. I was worried that not only would I not get to go on the vacation I’d setup to Beijing this month (more on that later) I’d have trouble getting anywhere until I got a new passport.

Well, long story short, the local PO not only tracked where my letter was, they also negotiated with the travel agency as to who received it, who shipped it from there to the Chinese consulate and who’s getting my visa ready. I’d have had a hard time communicating with all the Koreans if they simply gave me a name and number of who signed for it as Fed-Ex or similar would have done.

Minor catastrophe averted. Score one for the local post office.

At half-time, the score remains tied at 1:1. Film at eleven.
