昨天還沾沾自喜,認為自己自助旅行的計畫簡直是完美順利到難以言喻,當下心想:“好,萬事具備,只欠東風“。
Yesterday, I was still happy for my "perfect trip plan".
這東風,指的是德簽預約。因為要求的東西很多,所以當初我想在一個月前把東西整理好,再預約;接下來乖乖專心寫報告,找一天去領事館面談即可。
Initially, I planed to prepare all the document that Germany emassy requires and then to book the meeting.
但,這東風吹的風向令人意外。當我打電話預約,被告知最近可以預約的時間是:Friday, 11, April...!!!而我的計畫是Apr 6~Apr 12!!!!
However, it was too late for me to book a meeting. I was informed that I can only apply my Germany visa on April 11. My original plan was from Apr. 6 to Apr. 12.
這下可好,我要重新改機票、飯店、火車票、保險...許多東西可能還要當面交涉。這來回機票一改,讓我多花50磅,簡直可以買兩張張到歐洲的單程早安票。
Now, I have to change my plane ticket, hostel, rail train, insureance.... Due to the delay of application, I have to pay more money.
所以,這50磅讓我上了一課,什麼都是假的,只有簽證是真的!!!
Therefore, I realize: VISA IS EVERYTHING!!!
要到歐洲玩的朋友,要注意簽證預約的時間。此外Hello UK上的資訊有些僅供參考,我就是依上面估時間,沒想到今年預約的人多到超乎想像阿。
My story reminds all my friends to be aweare of the booking for visa. During holidays, it is very difficult to get an appointment.

That's bad that you have to change your travel plan all over again. I hope the problem's going to be solved well. Btw, thanks for the phone call and your intention. It was very sweet. I am leaving on 12 MAR. Why don't we meet before I leave? I have no lecture tomorrow and I will be free on weekends and Tuesday next week. Call me!! :)
That's great. I will call you back soon :-)
