Americana

The other day we came home to a mailbox stuffed with a huge USPS envelope addressed to “Bryan Yong-si Chu”. I was like, “Hey Grace, there’s a mail for Bryan!?”

It turned out to be Bryan’s passport (of the United States of America!). I opened and flipped through his passport with envy, joy, maybe almost a fraction of a drop of tear in my eye — Bryan was born with something his parents spent a good deal of fortune and their adult lives pursuing but could not obtain. I hope he will appreciate this gift that’s been bestowed on him.

Bryan's American Passport

With this passport and copies of my MFA transcript from SCAD, now we are ready for our interview with the Canadian Consulate in October.

    NICE! - tell him we said congrats! ( you may want to disable the RFID Chip though - not so secure! )

    Yeah… read about the RFID thing… Not sure if you can disable it at will without getting into trouble with the U.S. customs though… Unless you know another way around it… ;)

    you could always wrap it aluminum foil!

  4. "Admin" Shun Chu Says:

    Ditto.

    By the way, I found out that if the RFID in the passport is inactive for any reason, you are liable to replace it at your own expense. I think I will go with the aluminum foil, thank you very much.
