Russian Tourist Visa

Highlights from filling in the Russian Tourist Visa form, as remarked upon in Gchat.

me: a question on the Russian visa form: “Other surnames used (maiden name, pen-name, holy orders, etc.)”
HOLY ORDERS
Amal: Hee!
FATHER ALEX

me: “List all countries you have visited in the last ten years and indicate the years of visit:*”
nooooooooooooo
Amal: AHAHAHAHAHA
me: oh my god where have I even been in TEN YEARS

me: “Please Enter Valid Education Name” for the institution I went to
I put King’s College London
this is not valid
V: Oo
me: seeing if it’s the ‘
yes it was!
the form doesn’t like punctuation
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED

The form is now full of information and not very much punctuation. Now to take it to the embassy in the imminent future, so that I can find out if I got it all correct. =s
