3/22/2007 Europe Day 52: Paris, France - Things To Do at the U.S. Embassy While Waiting for Your Number To Be Called

At the Embassy, they handed out numbers in ascending order but called them out in somewhat random order. I thought it would be fun to play Bingo when it seemed clear that they weren't going to call our number any time soon, so I made myself up a card and started playing!

When they called "43" and I yelled "Bingo!", I was surprised that nobody congratulated me (or escorted me out of the building). I guess Bingo never made it big outside the United States and you have to appear more civilized than me when you're applying for a visa.

We still got the visa.
