There's a trait in travellers to over exaggerate; <blockquote>We were in the most dangerous place on the hottest day of the year, thankful that we'd got the visa after a complete nightmare in the dingiest immigration office you've ever seen.

We were in the most dangerous place on the hottest day of the year, thankful that we’d got the visa after a complete nightmare in the dingiest immigration office you’ve ever seen. I hadn’t eaten all day and there were more flies in the air than I’d seen in my life!

Sound familiar?!

This puts my mind a bit at ease though. Thanks Carmel I had always thought getting a Visa for Austalia was a bit tricky, that is the impression I got off some people I know who went.

Infectious is self-explanatory, though I suspect they would deter cancer patients from entering the country and utilising a health system that is possibly better than the patients home country. Big moral arguement alert. I just think the use of private ergo expensive Panel Doctors and a timeline of faceless departments is a pointless waste of time. I'm glad you caught on to the Conchords reference... wasn't sure how far round the globe they'd made it I can appreciate the need to check for serious disease.
