Intercultural Communications (already)

Winston considers intercultural communications and finds it tiring.I got the word from BME that they want me to teach Intercultural Communications something I am not qualified or prepared to do. I am attending Darlene Rickett’s class and Sara Edlin-Marlowe gave me loads of books to study. I’m fretting rather than preparing. I think I want to take about four textbooks and Darlene’s workbook and get over there and see exactly what is expected.

I am also packing Cherokee songs, Sherman Alexie films and my cowboy shirt just in case.

Visa- the document not the card

I picked up my application and passport along with the following informative letter.

The Republic of Hungary will join the Schengen Area on December 21, 2007. Due to this alternation…All these mean, that these travelers are not required to apply for a visa before entering Hungary….In order to be a legal resident in Hungary, you are kindly asked to contact the competent regional bureau of Hungarian Immigration…For further and detailed information please visit www.bmbah.hu

Dennis warned me to be sure and not go to the incompetent regional bureau. That would be the wrong place.
