American Consulate General

We all know that government offices have no competition, and their staff aren’t always examples of efficiency or friendliness. If I had a bad experience at this American Consulate, I couldn’t exactly «take my business elsewhere,» as they say. But thankfully, I wouldn’t even do that if I could because I’ve had nothing but stellar experiences at the Edinburgh Consulate. Everyone I’ve dealt with at the Consulate, right down to the guard at the front door, have been competent, pleasant and helpful. I needed a passport renewal in a hurry this month and they didn’t make it difficult for me in any way (well, other than putting the Consulate in Edinburgh in the first place!!). Though it will probably be a while before I have any dealings with these folks again, I am sure it will be a pleasure.
So in short: America, F yeah!
