second class countries

the american embassy, God curse its presence and its superiority, used to basically degrade people applying for a visa. you used to have to start waiting at 12AM the previous night to be one of the 40 lucky applicants admitted that morning. you would wait outside in the cold in hunger and curse your luck of having to apply. now, of course, there is an appointment system, but it took them 6 months to suffering to realize it.

i was always under the impression that european countries are more civilized, but i learned otherwise this morning. i went to apply for a shengen visa from the germany embassy, and you can't get close to the embassy. you have stand outside, around 30 meters away from the entrance, in the street, like a beggar, and fill out the forms and shit. you have to go through an arab who despite being extremely nice and helpful does patronize you. you have to prove over and over again that you're not going there to bomb them to hell and to never leave. i hate how we're treated, i hate that fact that we're second class countries, and above all, i hate that we have to be treated like that.
