Zim & Chris' Turkish (Mis)Adventure

Our trip to Ankara, Turkey was planned for one reason and that was for us to get visas to Syria. We both knew that we needed letters of recommendation from our embassies and so as soon as they opened we were there at the British Embassy where Chris paid good money to get a letter saying he we a good enough Brit to go to Syria. After the British Embassy we went down the road to visit the American Embassy. They were less helpful and only offered me a letter informing the Syrians that no such letter would be given to American citizens for visas. I would be happier to be a pawn for a country who's politics I supported more, but I guess we don't get to choose. The woman who was the speaker for the Syria government couldn't have been more rude to me, but I guess she thought it was a choice I had. She when as far as to practically yell at me that she had memorized the letter the Embassy had given me and no visas were given to people without the fore mentioned document. Eitherway, I am not pleased as my plan was to go to Syria with Chris and now that looks less possible. According to the Syrian's I can go to Washington DC or I can't go to Syria.
