On January 23, I mailed my passport application to the State department. This afternoon, I received my passport. It’s completely nuts! Apart from having the dastardly rfid chip in it, it’s got lots of fun-ness!

page 1-2: pictures of revolutionaries, a quote from the national anthem, a quote from Abe Lincoln, and some legal mumbo jumbo

page 4: bald eagle, the flag, and the opening of the Constitution

visa pages have various scenes from america, including national monuments

zoomed-in: each visa page has an inspirational quote, this one from JFK

last page: space, the next frontier! along with warnings against f’ing with the rfid chip, and a reminder that i’m required to pay us taxes if i work abroad.
