扭脚
虽然“球龄”10几年，却从来没有一双正式的足球鞋，最近德国换季打折，花了10几欧买了双原价60的Lotto鞋。第一穿是上周，结果磨破脚跟，原因是欧洲的鞋号过于繁复，一双鞋有五六种尺码，唯一认识的还偏小了。这周在球友建议下，换了厚袜子，预先贴了膏药，结果半场没到，刚来球感，就踩球扭脚，只能中途退场。足球场倒是不错的条件，不过无奈那天刚下过雨，也有可能不适高级球鞋的“性能”。
Visa information of US Consulate
One part of the email I have received:
“Please do NOT arrive more than 15 minutes prior to your appointment at the Consulate.
No cell phones, cameras or electronic devices, including laptops, games or I-Pods are permitted. The Consulates will not store your items. Large bags and suitcases are not permitted, but a purse or briefcase is acceptable. Please anticipate spending up to 3-4 hours at the Consulate for processing. Please bring all application documents with you, including your valid passport, one photo, application fee payment confirmation --> http://www.roskosmeier.de, application form DS-156 completed on the Internet --> http://evisaforms.state.gov/ (this will shorten the application procedure on the day of your appointment), and other required forms. You must also bring a 1.45 Euro stamped return envelope large enough for your passport - A5 is large enough.”
US are afraid of terrorists.
If naked applicants are legal, the Consulate would probably say so…
