Hoping to look as flawless as this guy!Ahhhh....the joys of living in China!
Yesterday Tracy (who is heading off to Saudi Arabia), and myself went to try and get our passport photos taken. We were pointed in the right direction and were told to speak to the older gentleman who knew what to do.
After preparing a long speech in Chinese, we walked in there, he looked at us and said 'Passport'. Gutted!
We were shuffled along to have our photo taken with a blinding flash and then next minute our photos were up on the screen. Not too bad for once, we both were saying until our self esteem went right out the window. The younger of the 2 started smoothing out our lines, hiding our blotches (AKA heat pimples) and even adjusting one side of Tracy's hair that was kinky.
We were in hysterics! No longer did we have pimples, dark under eyes or messy hair! We were transformed in to clear faced, not so bad looking people!
Ahhhhhh China! Always good for appearances! xo
