My travel. Part2. Visa. Hello everybody! Today I want to tell you about receipt visa. If you live in Europe I think you haven't got any problem with visa if you want to visit France or Germany or maybe Spain. You don't need it at all. But If you are Russian and you want to visit somebody in Europe (I've got two cousins, uncle and aunt in Germany) or maybe just go sightseeing, you need to collect about 15 different documents, certificates and reference. By the way you can't receive visa in your hometown, if you aren't in Moscow, St. Piterburg, Ekaterinburg or some big city else. So you travel starts much earlier before holidays. You have to go to apply for a visa. And as you know Russian is the biggest country in the world. But unfortunately our country hasn't got the best transport. So as I live in the not very big town, I had to travel to Ekaterinburg. It's about eight hundred kilometers. And so, I caught the train in midnight. But unfortunately next day when I arrived to Ekaterinburg The Hungary consulate general closed right that time when I arrived. I had to stay there for the night. My hotel wasn't 5 starts class. But it didn't matter! Vienna is waiting me! :) Next day I went to consulate. The weather was terrible! It was windy and rained. And unfortunately I couldn't hide of rain and wind, because there wasn't any place where people can wait their queue. And I had to wait on the street about one and a half hours. And after all ordeals... Hurray!!!! I got a little pink piece of paper with my surname! And fortunately I could catch the train that day. But.... I had to come back ten days later to take my passport. And I wasn't sure I would got visa. And so I spent about five days to receipt visa and went by train about three thousand and two hundred kilometers. That was all right and I got visa ten days later. P.S. If you've got any question don't be shy, ask me. Thank you for your patience (it was a little big story) and your correction. To be continued....

1.  "and" "but" are conjunctions that connect sentences.  "However", "since", "even though" are conjunctions that can appear in the beginning of sentences.

2.  Don't use such phrases in your writing.  The reader may not know and that is why you are telling us.  Just state your facts and opinions boldly.  It gives more weight and credence to your writing.

3.  Redundant since we know you arrived in the morning to get your visa.
