Embassy " Part two " !

Well I made myself go back out to the good old USA. Embassy yesterday .. Had to fight with the non English speaking Guards at the gate to get in .. Once in side I ( about 11:30 ) I was told I could only get a income certification letter between the hours 2 & three ( I think she said tues- thurs ) .. So out I go more a lunch break .. Return a 1:45 only to have to fight my way through the outside gate again. Ok, there are nine people with Numbers ahead of me .. At this point I am the only American citizen .. I try and get some one to talk to me only to be told to wait until my number is called ( one lady working the window ) .. Long story short ( lol ) After waiting over two hours they finally produced a one five line letter documenting my pension ( military )

I can also tell you that the Spanish speaking folks got more time and were better treated ! How about security .. You need to check your cell phone on your way in .. A Gringo That showed up latter forgot to check his cell phone .. So here we are talking and his phone rings .. He talks to his wife for awhile .. No body ever said a thing to him .. It really was to funny !

All I can say is it is disturbing and darn right shame .. I hope I never need to go back !

On my visit... I had no problems. I entered at the citizens gate. The guard at that gate spoke fluent english. I did have to check my camera and cell phone. I did have to wait.

What is so disturbing?
