Re: Visa Success At Last!
I'm just surprised that MiniMee didn't accuse me of never having been in Scotland

He's merely repeating what that silly old fool bobsaigon2 says of my posts. Poor Bob of course is incapable of seeing that I respond that way because I know it will annoy him

But OK scotty, since you clearly didn’t even hear the whoosh, I’ll explain for you:
In post #107 I responded to your statement that ‘The father’ had buggered off back home, leaving you in peace with your bf, with the words Độc lập. Sự tự do. Hạnh phúc. Bobsaigon offered a rough translation, but he didn’t get it quite correct.
In English, those words are Independence - Freedom - Happiness which is of course the national motto of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
In the circumstances, I thought you might find those words to be....well, Apposite!
That’s all.

It would have sounded too formal (but more accurate, I agree), so I translated loosely to fit the situation.
