Passport? Not!
Off to the nearest city office in Amsterdam for my passport (the official one for my neighborhood actually isn’t the closest). “Passport application? Well, you can wait, but it’s going to take a long time,” they tell me. “The computer system was down yesterday, so we have a big backlog. You’d better come back on Monday.”
OK, I’ll do that. “Application?” Oh, right, now I remember that these days you don’t get your new passport straight away. Suddenly I start to worry: I need it soon enough for all those visa applications; I hope it won’t take too long!
