As part of the nerve-wracking process of applying to extend my visa, I went to the passport photo place of the stars. Although, I can't imagine Angelina Jolie, Mick Jagger, or the Beatles climbing the two narrow urine-smelling flights of stairs to the small plain office with what must be the original signs from the 50's. The celebrities all look mussed, imperfect, and real -- like you see in those "Before they were famous" shows. For some reason, my eyebrows photographed really dark; I look like Groucho.
Also, while my original student visa cost $162, to apply for an extension requires a non-refundable £295 ($600) fee. And that's by mail. To do it in person costs £500.
