 |
|
| Just a warning: According to the British embassy in Seoul, renewing your passport will cost an extra 28 pounds (119 in total) on 1st April. If, like me, you could do with a new one then now is the time to do it. |

*beep* that.
It went up in BKK this year to 8000B.
They pegged the exchange rate at 75B to the pounds. This was when it was only 68B to the pound
Robbing cunts they are.
Just remember you are paying for all the illegal teachers and people who get in trouble out here. |

| Yeah, renewed mine 2 weeks ago. Cost me 173,000 won. Same price as doing it in the UK but it is quicker; 10 working days as opposed to 3 weeks. |

It's not the same price - it's 66 pounds to renew a passport while in the UK: http://www.passport.gov.uk/fees.asp |

| Peter Beardsley was my old neighbour. Nice guy but one ugly sod. His missus was meant to be having a fling with the guy around the corner. |

Oops. My bad. Anyway, it was fairly painless here. I went to the embassy and didn't need to wait around. In and out in 30 mins. |

Beardo was 10 times the footballer David Beckham is, but he was never going to be the face of Pepsi. Can't say I blame his wife though... |
