With his name on a sign above his kiosk, the officer manning the visa desk at the Vietnamese Consulate in Sihanoukville could have been a leading man from the 1950's.
With a square jaw and thick black hair brylcreemed into an immaculate parting, he had eyes like coals and exuded charisma that even the glass partition could not deflect. Sadly for him, for the moment he had to be satisfied with providing the fastest visa service in the world.
Everywhere else, acquiring the means of crossing the border at Chau Doc had a reputation for becoming entangled with beaurocracy and delay. Despite the full waiting room, our friend processed the visa application form, photo and 45 dollar fee in double quick time. The tuk tuk driver said he would wait as it would only take 20 minutes and we didn't believe him. In the end it was all over in less than 10, and that included completing the application form as well as waiting our turn to reach the counter.
Thank you nice visa man.
Celluloid immortality awaits.
