Caught in the Spam trap and nowhere to go
Poor Cynthia I did feel sorry for the poor gal. You see without realising it poor old Cynthia had been trapped and caught against her will and couldn’t go anywhere. She couldn’t hail me for help and I thought she had fallen out with me but as it turns out she had been caught by the Castles Spam trap. And was just kind of hanging round there all because she measured 6.5 on the scale. And she had been there un knowingly for 2 weeks bless her. I did feel a tad guilty and also had some very funny visions but they could have been Baileys related.

So One less problem I think I now have a research place in Brazil again. The Ministry and everyone else I emailed still haven’t answered me but they are not caught in the trap,  now I know I’ve been religiously checking and doing poor Andrews head in by appearing by the door and asking to check if anyone else  in Brazil has been caught against their will.

Natti and Claudia are both going to get in touch with various representatives of various official departments and find out for me what I need to do. The general theory is that because I wrote in English rather than Latin American Spanish that there may not be anyone who can read or write English.

The only other problem I now have is that with regards to permits to get into Brazil for me not samples. According to a consular service I got in touch with I need a letter of invitation from the government and need to fill in 2 forms. But if I haven’t got the official yes from the research place I haven’t got an invite. According to the Thorn tree site I don’t need a visa to get in as long as my passport has longer than 6 months on it and I don’t spend longer than 90 days in the country. V confused.
