Type Faster!

Blair, Michelle and I went to Business World to finish our last assignments for the semester. They have free internet, not free smoothies and food, and nice bathrooms. They also have a very business-looking office where they process online Visa applications for the US and the UK. So Gambians who need/want to get to the US or UK can use the office at Business World to fill out their Visa application online. This is a new system for both countries and we and the Brits are the first and only countries so far that allow people to apply for Visas online. Gambians looking to go to other countries still need to wait in line at the embassy. Now talented Gambians can leave their home country for better work, higher salaries, and a friendlier political climate even faster, if they wish to and are given a Visa. This is good for the US and Europe, but is it good for The Gambia?
