(^34) The next day, I was advised to print out the email from the South
African Embassy, which sounded more straightforward than it proved
to be in reality. I needed to access my Yahoo account, but the code
sent never came through. By the time all was done, the embassy was
closed, and after lunch, I discovered the passport photos were the
wrong size. There was nothing to do but return to the shop and make
new ones. As Mark Twain said: "The truth can be stranger than
fiction."
After filling out all the necessary forms, attaching the correct size
photos and paying the required fee, the lady at the embassy was
unsure how to proceed with this unusual request. She planned to
contact the South African Embassy in Bangkok for assistance and
promised to pass on any relevant information via email. We agreed I
would remain in Yangon for the next few days if additional
information were required.
Yangon
A walking tour of Yangon was a great way to spend my time. The city
is home to many beautiful old colonial buildings, some of which have
been renovated, while others are still being restored or are awaiting
renovation.
