Great blog! I just read your "La Migra Station of the Damned" post. So funny. I used to live in Turkey, and I experienced that same thing every time I went to the post office to pick up a package. It was the most inefficient place I've ever been...filling out needless paperwork over and over, which had to be stamped time and time again by random people. So funny.
Excellent blog!!!
