Print out the email to take with you.

My interview time was 9am on the letter. Those times are kinda like a guideline more than anything!

I got there just before 8am. First 'checkpoint', they ask for your letter and passport,and check you off a list. Then you wait to go through the security. That only took a few miniutes of waiting. Whereas there where plenty of people, it wasn't a big line.

Remember no electronics and that means those bank internet keys too (if you have one!)! Not just the more obvious things (phone, e-readers, mp3 players...).

Diane had ipod earphones in her handbag. She was given the choice of taking them back to the hotel or throwing them in the bin outside the security booth so in the bin they went! They are very strict about anything with a wire in it.

$400 dollars?? * welp *

Money well spent for eternal happiness!

yeah, so true! I threw my internet banking key in the bin. At least with that, it was free though! Just went into HSBC the next day and picked another one up.

That closest bin to the embassy could be a gold mine, the things that must get chucked in it :D
