So I went to the little local post office. It was, as ever, very busy, with lots of people in line just before the lunchtime closing.
The guy who runs the place is chatty & seems to know everyone, which is nice, but doesn't exactly promote efficiency.
And frankly I felt quite uncomfortable discussing wanting to ship my passport to the UK in front of loads of other people – it felt like I was trying to do something illegal.
