Good news for me. I managed to get the HIV test taken and now I am just waiting for the results. Those should be ready in the beginning of next week. Let's hope that the invitation to Russia comes this week so that I can apply for Visa as soon as the HIV results arrive.
This week I am going to find out how I should manage the passport situation for the Cyprus trip. I am also trying to get rid of the tie-in deal of my mobile phone.
