damasa--I met him on an airplane when I was coming back from France 3 years ago, and he was coming back to university in America from a visit home to N. Ireland.
navane--He was planning to stay for 2 weeks, and he definitely wasn't going to work! However, I think that they said his student visa wasn't valid when he came back here from Christmas break (he was still going to school at the time), so that's why they weren't letting him in now. But I still don't understand why he would've even shown them the damn visa because my parents' friends from England came to visit them two summers ago and they didn't need a visa.
At any rate, I'm still pissed. Can't say that I'm surprised, because somehow Achtungboy always runs into problems and can't make it. My family is strongly advising me to tell him not to call me *ever* again...that's *if* he calls me. (He had his mother call and tell me the news this time...and last time, too, come to think of it.) I don't know...the whole thing just sucks.
