"it is kind of sad, especially the rejection of visa partĄ the amount of times I have tried to explain this to people, the implication and the disadvantages of having a developing country passport, and yet everyone around me, especially the boomers seem to have graduated from ?WhatsApp University never seem to understand its implicationsĄ going to the Cannes would have been a really big deal in her career.
