I have an upcoming visit to Guilin, China next year and it is required to have a visiting/tourist visa so I took the liberty to apply for one during the Christmas break week at the Chinese Consulate in Melbourne. For the record, I always assumed the staff will all dressed up to their best, presenting a good impression for being part of the consulate.
I was wrong.
The staff that served me shattered my imagination. He was seated behind the glass wall and for the sake of security, conversations where done via the mic/speaker and a small slit hole to pass documents. I digressed. Let’s get to the point.
He looked like a typical asian movie gangster; dark skinned, wearing a thick chain necklace, semi tight ’business’ shirt with exposed chest and crew cut hair. When I approached him, he almost like he wanna pounce on me and whack me good. I guess there is a reason why the glass wall is installed.
