Visa papers and postcard
Summary:
I've sent a postcard to my host family. I've filled out all the papers needed when you're applying for a VISA to the States. I'm thinking about my mom, who passed away last year, she should have been celebrating her 60th birthday today... <3
Longer version:
There's a neverending pile of papers that has to be filled out, checked and signed in order to get your J-1 VISA! I got up today, made myself a sandwich and a cup of tea, then I sat down with all the paperwork for 3 hours! Half of the time I was talking to the nice lady from my au pair agency, and half of the time I was talking to my friend, who's filling out the same papers.
I've also been talking with "Skattemyndigheten", and asked the to send me a birth certificate (personbevis). But first I had to wait in the phone queue. Got place number 121... :[ Good thing is, the send me the paper for free, so that's convenient.
Today I sent a postcard to my host family. I thought that might be a good way to let them know that I look forward to meet them. It's a bit more personal than an e-mail, I think. So I put on some stickers and p a inted a little on the postcard (i.e. a car, a rainbow, a flower), to make it fun for the children to look at too. =) A s mentioned before, the berries on the postcard are called "smultron" in Swedish, and I believe "wild strawberries" in English.
Love to you all
