Okay, I am actually in Turkey as I write this, but wanted to try one last time to get the video of the changing of the guard in Athens posted. If you are reading this, I got it to post okay. IT IS GREAT.

So I have now arrived in Turkey, happy about everything except the cost of the visa. 45 Euros! For everyone else it is 10 to 20, but Canada is the most expensive of all nationalities. Why? Because when it come to visas to visit Canada, we are a bunch of tools! We make everyone pay $75 to apply for a tourist visa. Ridiculous, and it serves us right to have to pay the same. The Brits, other EU, and even Americans didn't pay more than 15 euro to enter Turkey. Canada is THE most expensive fee to enter, because we have outrageous fees to apply for visas.

What is wrong with us, and/or our government that we charge so much for a tourist visa? We are shooting ourselves in the foot. Whatever money we make off of Canadian visitors, we clear pay out way more of it to visit countries that charge us the same. I considered popping in to Syria, but again, another $73 just to enter, obviously because of our ridiculous visa fee. Please punch your MP in the nose. Okay, I have vented a little, but really, why are we such tools about this?

Enjoy the video, and Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!

Monty Python
Now I know where they got some of their material from. Also, that looks suspiciously like Abbey Road.
