So, we are standing by the consulate, quietly discussing potential questions and the previous trips of program participants, and SUDDENLY, you desperately need to step away! What to do? Read the instructions!

For guys: walk about 50 meters away from the consulate and find a corner... Well, you know the rest. The civilized option: run to the Coffee House (it's on the street corner).

For girls, only the civilized option.

So, the deed is done, and we return to the line, strictly following all the instructions of our group leader. They start letting people in two by two, and we stand there, happy that we were smart enough to dress very warmly. We spend some unforgettable freezing minutes waiting in line and finally enter the building. AND NOW ATTENTION! DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SOMETHING!

1. First, go in and, when the security guard on the first floor asks, give him your passport.
2. Then take absolutely everything out of your pockets.
3. Then take off your belt.
4. Then walk through the metal detector (there and back).
5. Take your passport, hold your belt in your hands, and go up to the 4th floor.
6. Large transparent door #1. Approach, open it, turn left.
7. Large transparent door #2. Approach and WAIT! The security guard presses a button and the door opens. Pull the handle down and enter.
8. Close the door behind you and stand next to it.
9. As soon as the security guard asks you to approach, go up and give him your passport.
10. THEN WALK THROUGH THE METAL DETECTOR. If the guard didn't tell you to put your belt on the shelf, DO NOT DO IT, even if you know in advance that the belt will beep. Actually, that's exactly what happens. Now, at the guard's request, put the belt down and repeat the procedure. After that, he will ask you to take off your outerwear and show you where the coat rack is.
11. Take off your outerwear, leave the belt there, and walk through the metal detector again without stopping.
12. Enter the waiting room and sit down silently.
13. Go to window #2 to submit your fingerprints. Nothing complicated.
14. Sit down and wait for the cherished moment.
